Mpu Sedah was a Javanese literary poet who wrote Kakawin BhÃÂratayuddha in Old Javanese. He lived during the Jayabaya reign of the Kadiri or Panjalu Kingdom in East Java. Mpu Sedah is one of Raja Jayabaya's advisers. Mpu Sedah also had an adopted son, Aria Wiraraja, a military adviser to Raden Wijaya. According to Mpu Panuluh, Sedah was a famed author at the time, although not much is known of his life today.
For unknown reasons, Mpu Sedah was unable to complete the Kakawin BhÃÂratayuddha and the remainder was written by Mpu Panuluh.
