More On Birds, Ascetics and Kings in Central Java. Kakawin Rāmāyaṇa, 24.111–115 and 25.19–22

Résumé

This chapter advances identifications of allegorical meanings, whose use by the poet(s) had already been demonstrated by Aichele as a very important feature of the Kakavin Rāmāyaṇa. It focuses on two notoriously difficult passages from sargas 24 and 25, and shows how these satirical passages bring into play such birds as the kuvoṅ, the vidu and the pikatan as allegorical alter egos of real-world figures, explaining that the poetical casting of birds in allegorical roles is a feature likely to have been adapted from Indian literature in Sanskrit.
