Mpu Kanwa, the poet of Airlangga's court of Kahuripan kingdom, writes in 1035 CE in his kakawin Arjunawiwaha: santoṣâhĕlĕtan kĕlir sira sakêng sang hyang Jagatkāraṇa, which means, "He is steadfast and just a "wayang" screen away from the 'Mover of the World'." "Kelir" is the Javanese word for the "wayang" screen, the verse eloquently comparing actual life to a "wayang" performance where the almighty "Jagatkāraṇa" (the mover of the world) as the ultimate "dalang" (puppet master) is just a thin screen away from mortals. This reference to "wayang" as shadow plays suggested that "wayang" performance was already familiar in Airlangga's court and "wayang" tradition had been established in Java, perhaps earlier. An inscription from this period also mentions some occupations as "awayang" and "aringgit".
