The same tragic tale forms the plot of the poetical-historical work called Kidung Sunda.⁶ Among other works of this kind may be mentioned Kidung Rangga Lawe¹ composed in 1543 A.D. The poem is called Pañji Vijayakrama in the manuscripts. The Kidung may be really divided into two parts. The first part gives the history of Vijaya and the foundation of Majapahit, and the second part deals with the revolution of his trusted officer Rangga Lawe. According to Berg the first part may be called Pañji Vijayakrama, and the second part, Rangga Lawe.
