Summary: "Mpu Monagu�na's early thirteenth century epic poem Sumanas�antaka is a vernacular rendering of K�alid�asa's story of Prince Aja and Princess Indumat�i told in the Raghuva�m�sa. In it the poet exploits his source narrative to describe and comment on the Javanese world of his times. In Mpu Monagu�na's Sumanas�antaka the authors offer an edited text and translation of Mpu Monagu�na'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 K�alid�asa's Raghuva�m�sa, 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 Indumat�i"-- Publisher's Web site.
