Another notable literary text, the "Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa" contains similar theme of the adventure of the warrior king Merong Mahawangsa who founded the ancient Kedah state. In "Hikayat Malim Deman", the detailed silat movements are mentioned in a pantun to describe the agility and powerful martial art skill of the main character in defeating his foes in his quest. By the 18th century, the term 'silat' was first mentioned in a literary text called "Misa Melayu", though it tends to refer as ‘martial art’ in general. Silat movements or "bunga" and dance, are the main components of the tradition of "bersilat", that became part of the repertoire of "Hikayat Awang Sulung Merah Muda". The "Hikayat Pahang", a historical literature that covers the period of the 19th century, is concerned on several wars fought by the state of Pahang like Pahang Civil War and Klang War, and also contain the exploits of famous silat masters in Pahang history, like Tok Gajah and Dato' Bahaman.
