|
| Abstracted summary |
In eight scenes, Part only [reads L > R] [ref reg], Left to right. 1. Raja and consort express emotion at news from Patih and four knights that the prince Sutasoma cannot be found. Two resi back up raja. 2. Sutasoma, Twalen and Morda walk to right. 3. Twalen and Morda meet dewi Durga, who regrets she is not allowed to kill Sutasoma. 4. Sutasoma, etc meet Begawan Kaisawa, who joins party. 5. Sutasoma etc meet Gajah Waktra with Delem. 6. Sutasoma etc pray while Gadjah Waktra and Delem pelt them with weapons and rocks which turn into flowers before they arrive. Under the tree are a roast suckling pig and two cones of white rice. It may well be that this is what Delem's rocks become on their way to Twalen! 7. Sutasoma fells Gadjah Waktra with a club, so much for non violence. 8. Gajah waktra having joined party toughs up a Naga who is thus also converted to non violence [ref LC]
