238 THE LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE OF 
say he loses the fruits of his penance by falling in love. 
Enraged by this he burns the god of love in flames which 
issue from his body. The god of love is therefore also 
called Anangga (the bodiless) because his body was burnt 
by Siv.a. This work too is of the time of Ayer Langgia , 
king of Kediri. The author is called M’pu Darmaya\ son 
of Raja Kusuma the composer of the Ramayaw Kawi. 
4, Sumana Santaka comprises part of the Indian Raghu - 
vcmsa* Raghu the ancestor of Rama begets the Adia; she is 
permitted to choose her consort after the Indian royal custom. 
(Svayamwara, also so called on Bali.) Her husband Devindu 
died and she then gave birth to Dasarta, the father of Rama. 
This work also is composed in Kediri or Dalia under Ayer 
Langgia; the writer is M’pu Monaguna , (the name signifies 
“whose prominent attribute is silence, mauna/’) The writers 
of the three latter works bear Sanscrit names, and belong to 
the Sivaitic sect; the names of the Buddhist writers are in 
the language of the country, and in this circumstance like¬ 
wise the characteristic of that religion is conspicuous, which 
made its way chiefly by yielding to and adopting the manners 
of the numerous and widely different countries, into which it 
was propagated; whilst Brahmanism, rigidly adhering to 
the ancient traditions, and holding in contempt all that is 
foreign, is no where found beyond India except in Java 
and Bali, and perhaps in parts of Sumatra and Celebes. 
All the three abovementioned works are in a peculiarly 
good style and highly esteemed, and this chiefly because 
they are of Sivaitic authorship. 
5, Romakawya ; the song of Boma (or Bh&uma)* * c the 
soil of the earth **\ he is begotten by Wisynu from Pretiwi 
(the earth) and has, as son of the earth, a demon form and 
disposition. He is a Danawa (that is like the Grecian 
Giants and Titans.) He waged war against Indr a the god 
of (the lower) heaven and triumphed over him. ( Indra is 
also overcome by Kawana the giant-king of Ceylon, and his 
power appears every where as secondary, against which the 
evil spirits are proof.) One of the higher gods (Wisyna 
or Siva) must subject his adversaries in order to restore 
peace and order on earth. Here the sang is Kresna , the 
well-known (eighth) incarnation of Wisyna who kills the 
Boma is killed by being lifted up from the earth, which 
constantly reinvigorates him. The author is M’pu Bradah 
* Bumakalantaca by Raffles; the name Anraka Sura has not yet come to my 
knowledge in Bali. (Raffles I. pag. 388.)
