This article discusses the Javanese Panji-story  Kuda Narawangsa , which I first  watched as a masked performance in a village south of Yogyakarta in 1977. The play featured Galuh Candra Kirana, spouse of Prince Panji of Jenggala, in the masculine form of “Kuda Narawangsa”. Historical information on this play in archival manuscript sources, found mainly in  the collecti ons of Leiden University Libraries, proves that it was well-known in Java during the nineteenth century. In this article, descriptions of performances in manuscripts or printed publications are combined with historical play-scripts ( pakem ) from Surakarta and Yogyakarta, which have not been investigated so far. Special attention is paid to the script of a masked performance of the  Kuda Narawangsa  story in a manuscript from the Mangkunegaran palace, investigating what this historical  pakem  can tell us about  the meaning and context of a masked performance of this s tory in nineteenth century Java. A story which according to recent publications remains relevant in Indonesian society to this day
