Before the year I4<21,the whole island of Jara had submitted .te»#»
authority of Pangêran- Tranggdna, the chiefs of the several provinces, feom
Jiantam to Balambdngan, presenting themselves at his court, and universal
tranquillity was restored. The Mahometan religion was. now firmly establish^
throughout tbê island | the mosque was completed, and trèatiés of
amity and peace were concluded with the princes of Borneo, PaUmbmg,
$ngapûmP ptidnag^ri, and, other states of thé Archipelago, which
had become, independent of Javan authority after the fall of Majapdhit. ,
This: prince is represented to have been an intelligent good, and virtuous
man, and to have enforced the strictest obedience to the laws., H a te his
superintendence
supetintehde’nce'Avaa composed a work-, entitled Jay a Ztangkdra, in which the ^
p r i n c i p l e s of the Mahometan law arid precepts were blended with the ancient ' -1— 4
instructions of the country, and thus rendered agreeable to the people.
' It is related, that on the occasion of the assemblage of the different chiefs
at the'fririeral of the deceased Sultan and the inauguration of Paitgdrcm
Pranggana, a dreadful storm arose, with much thunder and lightning, when
aHyduth, named JdkurSiselot\l(tZie son of Browijdya by Budan Kajarvan, who
ha'd b e ^ ,'deli^fered(o t e ^ ’,the superintendent of his sdsoah or rice fields)
going 'oat of 'the, niosqhe fo ebsferve the weather, saw a meteoric stone fall
on the ground beside him, without doing him harm. This stone he carried
to the-Stimd Kati Jdga, who declared it to be an omen prophetic of. much
good to the youth: After thanks were returned to the Almighty for having
averted the danger .from the mosque, a sketch was made, of the stote
which is-still exhibited on the door facing the north. This
failing in an endeavour to become- chief of the sultan’s guards, aiid afterwards
itM an attempt upon the prince’s life, was obliged to fly from the

Kanig&ra, a -chief who had been put to death by order of the first sultan of
Demdk. It having been foretold that he would one day become sovereign
of Java, .he was taken by bis '-mother to Demdk in his eleventh year, where
he sOon’ found means to ingratiate himself with the Sultan, who gave him'
the’ nafne of Pdry i Mas, and caused him to be instructed in the Mahometan
religion? and in the precepts of Jdya Langkdra, appointed him to the com-
mand^bf the body guard consisting of eight hundred men, and afterwards,
jnf the year 1449, gave him his daughter in marriage, with the administra- ^ ^
tipn* bf .the’ province-’of Pdjang, where, with the permission of the Sultan,
he built a krdton ; but afterwards having put to death a person who had
arrived from the Kedd, applying for an appointment in the body guard, he
was banished to the forests. During his exile he visited a village named
Bdnyu-biru, near the Solo river, where he was instructed by a Pandtta how
to conduct himself for the future, the holy man predicting, at the same
tiihei that he would become sovereign of Java and hold his court at Pdjang.
Several exploits against alligators are recorded of him ; and the opinion
that no descendant of the princes of Pdjang need fear injury from these
animals is- so prevalent, that it is not unusual for a Javan of the present
