Overview

\"Mpu Monaguٍna's early thirteenth century epic poem Sumanasهantaka is a vernacular rendering of Kهalidهasa's story of Prince Aja and Princess Indumatهi told in the Raghuvaٍmâsa. In it the poet exploits his source narrative to describe and comment on the Javanese world of his times. In Mpu Monaguٍna's Sumanasهantaka the authors offer an edited text and translation of Mpu Monaguٍna's epic kakawin and extensive commentary on the editing of the manuscripts and history of the poem and its story, the relationship between the Old Javanese poem and Kهalidهasa's Raghuvaٍmâsa, the way in which the poem imagines the lived environment of ancient Java in the early thirteenth century and Balinese painted representations of the story of Prince Aja and Princess Indumatهi\"-- Publisher's Web site.
