![28 gives birth to a son who is taken away by Battarah Sooniyah cont. aa Batara Suniya?| to be reborn as Rajah of Mummunang [=Maménang]. Dhewah coossoomah, having caused the pregnancy of aneero kitchenmaid of his wife’ s, has her buried alive, but her grave is turned into a cavern occupied by Batarah Calah [= Kala], who when she dies in giving birth to her child takes charge of the latter, a boy named Key jacah bongeang [=Ki Jaka Bongkang]. Eventually this boy introduces himself to his father, who tries to kill him but. fails and advises him to go and practise asceticism on the Adjar wahwasee[= Ajarwawasi?] Mountain, so the boy departs. Meanwhile in response to Deeve Koosoomah’s prayers for a child, the soul of Key Sadannah enters her husband’s body (and eventually hers) and is reborn as a boy named Panjee Knoo Cartapatee [=Panji Inu Kértapati], who is the hero of the Panji cycle of legends. His mother dies in giving birth to him. When grown up he meets in the jungle two persons named Prawsantah [=Prasanta] and Prawjoodee [= Prajodi]| who become his servants. Later on, at the reaping of some paddy which he had caused to be sown, Panjee recognises Deeve Sree and again proposes to her, but she again declines on the ground of her not having been reborn, but consents to accompany him to his father’s palace at Junggalah. There she and Oonon are murdered by one Brawjahnatah = Brajanata ?], who mistakes Oonon for Panjee. The murderer escapes, the two corpses vanish, Panjee in great distress goes away into the jungle, and his father Dhewah coossoomah follows after him to seek him. In the jungle Dhewah coossoomah meets the Athepattee [=Adipati] of Majapait [= Majapahit], whose sister he marries and she bears him two children, a boy named Lumpoong carash [= Lémpung Karas ?], and a girl named Deeve Onnongan [=Dewi Onongan ?]. p. 228: A princess of Rome[=Rum] dreams that she slept with Panjee, and waking up is much distressed and dies. Her soul goes to Java to be reborn in the family of Praboo Hoorawan [=Hurawan|] of Cawdery. In the air it meets the souls of Deeve Sree and Oonon, and they agree that they will all be married to Panjee, the princess of Rome and Deeve Sree to be reborn in the Cawdery family and Oonon in the house of Gugullang. Praboo Hoorawan of Cawdery, praying for issue, is adyised by the oracle to go with his wives and con- cubines to the Lawboowan [=Labuhan] river. There he finds a babe in a basket, which is in fact Rawrah soochee’s child put there by Battarah Sooniyah, and adopts it under the name Raden Lawboowan. Deeve Sree’s soul then enters Praboo Hoorawan’s body so that when he cohabits with his wife Deeve Lubooswarah ningrat [= Lébuswara-ningrat] it passes into her womb. Praboo Hoorawan leaves his pregnant wife](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b32179844_0067.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
