Kai: Yes, it is mostly the Chinese accounts. I still wonder how to not break parts like sekar kacang or greneng in combats.
Penangsang 2.0: Any historical reference? I could not find much other than this indirect example ... Remember the legend when Mpu Supa was sent to retrieve a missing Majapahit keris from Madura court? Perhaps we could use this story to reason that perceived powerful pusakas would often become target of theft, so kings would be wise to simply hide them and thereby avoid the rival kingdoms to be aware of their presence?
