The aim of this study is to examine the texts which Pigeaud (LIT.vol.1/237) has classified as kawi miring, the Arjuna Sasrabau, Bratayuda, Rama, Bima Suri (Dewa Ruoi) and the Panitisastra. These poems have been loosely ascribed to Yasadipura I and authorship will be considered in relation to individual texts. The term kawi miring has been used to describe a particular genre of literature which emerged in the Central Javanese court of Surakarta in the late eigh- teenth century. As the term literally suggests, texts classified as kawi miring were considered to have been written in a poetic medium that 'inclined' towards the 'kawi' texts of the Old Javanese period, hence Pigeaud's definition: 'sloping kawi in contradistinction to the real kawi of the old texts' (LIT.vol.1/23).
