Mpu Prapanca

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mpu Prapanca was an author of the Old Javanese epic poem Nagarakertagama, which tells the story of Majapahit Kingdom and other stories of old Hindu-Javanese kingdoms. The Buddhist monk Prapanca wrote the chronicle in 1365 (or 1287 Saka year) as an eulogy to Hayam Wuruk, who brought Majapahit to its peak.[1]
