Kakawin Bhāratayuddha is an Old Javanese poetical rendering of some books (parva) of the Mahabharata by Mpu Sedah and his brother Mpu Panuluh in Indian meters (kāvya or Kakawin).[1] The commencement of this work was exactly 6 November 1157 by Sedah, and finished by Panuluh.[2]: 168  The year of the composition is given in a chronogram sanga-kuda-śuddha-candramā which gives the year 1079 Saka. This is the equivalent of 1157 AD. Bhāratayuddha means "India's War" or "War of Bharat".[1]

It is about the great war between the Pāndavas and the Kauravas on the Kuru field.[3]

Manuscripts of Bhāratayuddha

With some hundred manuscripts that are listed in the catalogues of public libraries in various countries, Kakawin Bhāratayuddha is by far the most-often copied extant Old Javanese work.
