250 THE LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE OF BALI. 
YialfPi and Wiwaha are represented in the fVayang Kulit in 
the same manner as on Java. Of the Indian drama nothing 
seems to have found its way into this island. The names of 
the most famous of the Indian dramas are unknown there. 
The tale of the Sakuntala is known from one of the Parvas, 
and the original narration we find also in India in the Ma~ 
habhnrat'i. But the magnificent drama S akunt da of Kalidusa 
is not known. The reason of this is probably that most of 
the Indian Dramas are of late times,, and perhaps at the 
time the Brahmins came to Java, were exclusively found at 
the courts of the princes of Vjayini, Cashmir, Ayoja &c. so 
that the Brahmins could not be acquainted with them. Be¬ 
sides, the Drama forms no part of the sacred literature^ and 
the Brahmins might have neglected it for that reason.
