Smaradahana

Smaradahana, also known as Smaradhana, Asmaradhana, Asmaradahana, Asmaradana, Asmarandhana, or Asmarandana is an old Javanese poem (kakawin) written by Mpu Dharmaja as the eulogy for King Kameçvara of Kediri in early-12th century East Java.

Smaradhana's themes have inspired many works of art and literature in Indonesia, including stories, poems, and love songs.

Kamajaya's wife, the goddess Rati, known in ancient Java as Kamaratih, out of her love, devotion, and loyalty, jumped into Shiva's fire to follow her husband.

Smaradahana celebrated Kameçvara as a strikingly handsome man, while his queen consort Çri Kirana was noted for her extraordinary beauty.

The poem portrayed the king as the incarnation of Kamajaya, the Hindu god of love, and proclaimed that his capital city Dahana (or Daha) was admired throughout the known world.

The poem of Asmarandana was written in Sundanese script .
