Kakawin Bhāratayuddha

Kakawin Bhāratayuddha

Kakawin Bhāratayuddha is an Old Javanese poetical rendering of some books ("parva") of the Mahabharata by Mpu Sedah and his brother Mpu Panuluh in Indian meters ("kāvya" or "Kakawin"). The commencement of this work was exactly November 6 1157. The year of the composition is given in a chronogram "sanga-kuda-śuddha-candramā" which gives the year 1079 Saka. This is the equivalent of 1157 AD.

It is about the great war between the Pāndavas and the Kauravas on the Kuru field.

Manuscripts of Bhāratayuddha

With some hundred manuscripts that are listed in the catalogues of public libraries in various countries, Kakawin Bhāratayuddha is by far the most-often copied extant Old Javanese work.
