Description

Like many works of Old Javanese literature, the kakawin Arjunawijaya Arj. was first introduced to the wor1d of Western scholarship in 1849 through the well-known report of Friederich, Voorloopig Verslag van het Eiland Baii. In this report Friederich 1959 25 says The Arjuna Vijaya the Triumph of Arjuna is fonned after the Uttarakl4a . . . It contains the combat of Arjuna with Rvat. a and his victory. Rvat. a is here bound, but not yet killed, because his time has not yet arrived. Re is to be destroyed by Rma . . . Written in 1849, when the study of Old Javanese had barely taken the first step in its slow progress on a long and arduous road, Friederichs report was a promising start. It is therefore disheartening to discover how, 120 years later, the Arj. is still little more than a closed book. To the best of my knowledge there is not one article exclusive1y devoted to any aspect of the poem, let alone a major publication. It would be an exaggeration, however, to say that the Arj. is completely unknown to students of Old Javanese. Short descriptions of the manuscripts of this kakawin, and even outlines of their contents, have been given in the Catalogues of the Old Javanese manuscripts in the possession of the Library of the University of Leiden, and in the few articles and books treating Old Javanese literature in general. Occasionally a reference to the Arj.
