   • [1930, Tb. Djajadilaga, transl., Ka Pulo Jawa, translation of To Java by Rabindranath Tagore, I. Kinanti:

     Sora sondari ngahioeng
     ajoen-ambing ngemban poedji
     moedja ka Kali Logangga
     lemah poetih banjoe soetji
     Batara Wisnoe ngandika
     meupeudjeuh ka djisim koering

     [Sora sondari ngahiung
     ayun-ambing ngemban puji
     muja ka Kali Logangga
     lemah putih banyu suci
     Batara Wisnu ngandika
     meupeujeuh ka jisim kuring]
