Mpu Panuluh's puzzling Panakawans: do clown-servants feature in the Old Javanese kakawin Gaṭotkacâsraya?
2000
Overview
The earliest account of the well-known love story of Abimanyu and Ksiti Sundari seems to be the Old Javanese \"kakawin Gaṭotkacâsraya\" (ʿGaṭotkaca's help), said to be composed by mpu Panuluh in the late twelfth or early thirteenth century. In secondary literature the \"Gaṭotkacâsraya\" owes its fame to the allegedly first appearance of three so-called panakawans, viz. Juru dyah, Punta and Prasanta. The modern concept of panakawans in the wayang (puppet theatre), in which they perform the role of clown-servants, however, has played tricks on most scholars who have hitherto dealt with the \"Gaṭotkacâsraya.\" In this article it is argued that the panakawans in this text are only followers and companions of Abimanyu; Juru dyah is not a personal name but a function, whereas Punta and Prasanta may well be later Balinese additions to the text.
