Pujangga (English spelling)

Japanese: プジャンガ(英語表記)pujangga
Pujangga (English spelling)
They were court poets in the traditional kingdoms of Java, Indonesia, who transmitted the secrets of kingship. Representative examples include Prapanca, who composed the long epic poem Nagarakurtagama during the Majapahit Kingdom, and Yosodipuro I, II, and Longowarsit, who served the successive kings of Mataram. Pujanga praised the king's achievements with his verse poems, and guaranteed the legitimacy of the king and the kingdom by compiling the kingdom's chronicles. He was also the embodiment of traditional wisdom as secrets. However, in the 19th century, when the Mataram Kingdom was divided into four royal families and its powerlessness against the Dutch became clear, and as Dutch Javanese studies conquered the language, literature, and art of Old Java, the lineage of Pujanga came to an end with Longowarsit.

Japanese:
インドネシア,ジャワの伝統的諸王国における宮廷詩人で,王権の秘義を伝えた。マジャパイト王国時代に長編叙事詩《ナーガラクルターガマ》を編んだプラパンチャ,マタラム歴代の王に仕えたヨソディプロ1世,2世,ロンゴワルシトなどが代表的とされる。プジャンガはその韻文詩によって王の事績をたたえ,王国の年代記を編むことによって王と王国の正統性を保証するとともに,秘義としてある伝統的知恵の体現者であった。しかし,19世紀に4王侯家に分裂したマタラム王国のオランダに対する無力が明らかとなり,またオランダ・ジャワ学によって古ジャワの言語,文学,芸術が征服されるなかで,ロンゴワルシトを最後としてその系譜は絶えた。
