Another work by the Betawi literary poet Muhammad Bakir bin Syafian Usman Fadli which tells the story of pewayangan is Hikayat Maharaja Garbak Jagat. This saga was written by Muhammad Bakir in prose, using Malay and Arabic-Jawi script. The saga of Maharaja Garbak Jagat tells the story of the Pandawa family.

One day at the royal hall there was a meeting between King Pandawa, Darmawangsa Sang Bima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sadewa, Purbaya from Pringgadani, Antareja, Raden Tanjung Anom Angkawijaya, and also Semar and his children. They were discussing the gem ring found by Gerubuk.

Raja Darmakusuma knew that the ring belonged to Batara Narada who was missing and decided to return the ring to its owner in Suralaya.

Gerubuk, Nala Gareng, and Anggalia or Petruk got the task of returning the ring to Batara Narada. On their way to Suralaya, they were intercepted by the Kurawa, led by Pastor Dorna, who wanted to seize the ring. Gerubuk and his brother were overwhelmed by the Kurawa forces.

Then Abiyasa came to help Gerubuk, and his brothers. Abiyasa cleverly hid the ring between Nala Gareng's feet. Abiyasa also made a fake ring to be given to Gerubuk. Dorna didn’t know, the ring he managed to snatch was the fake ring.

Pastor Dorna then handed the fake ring to Batara Narada. After being told by Batara Narada that the ring was fake, Pastor Dorna returned home to Astina in shame. Gerubuk and his brother succeeded in handing over the ring to Batara Narada and were invited to go up to Suralaya in return for his services.

However, Kurawa held a grudge against Gerubuk and his brothers for being deceived. They then planned to kill them. They gathered their troops where Gerubuk was going to pass.

War was inevitable. Ninety-nine Kurawa warriors attacked Gerubuk and his brothers. However, the help of Raden Samba and Patih Lisanpura came to defeat the Kurawa troops.

Nevertheless, Gerubuk and his siblings did not return home because they heard that Arjuna would kill them on the orders of his teacher, Pastor Dorna, who was humiliated by Gerubuk. Lurah Semar who heard that his son would be killed then left Amarta to look for his son. He disguised himself as Priest Cantrik Marga Semirang who meditated by the edge of a magical pond.

When Gerubuk and his brother arrived at the edge of the pond, they did not recognize his transformed father. On the advice of Cantrik Marga Semirang, Gerubuk and his siblings took a bath in the pond, Gerubuk then changed to Maharaja Garbak Jagat, Petruk Anggalia became Patih Laya Anggalaya and Nala Gareng became Regent Nala Guriang Nala. Garbak Jagat was a king in Banjar Parsanga. Together with his two brothers, Garbak Jagat attacked Astina, the land where Kurawa lived. Astina finally was defeated, but Pastor Dorna and his son Bambang Sutama managed to escape

Suralaya also received Garbak Jagat's attack. The Batara troops were unable to survive and lost against the Garbak Jagat troops. Finally, Batara Guru and Narada came down to the world asking for help from Arjuna.

Arjuna then fought against Garbak. But Garbak Jagat wasn’t easy to be beaten. Arjuna felt overwhelmed then took out his magic weapon. Garbak Jagat, Patih Laya Anggalaya and Regent Nala Guriang Nala, who were fighting, were hit by Arjuna’s arrows, and then changed again to Gerubuk, Anggalia and Gareng. They then asked Arjuna for mercy. Arjuna forgave these clown servants and they shook hands with each other.

When he saw his children return to their original form, Semar, who was in the form of Cantrik Marga Semirang, returned to his original form as Semar. After the war, Arjuna returned to the land of Amarta. Dorna and Bambang Sutama returned to Astina. Gerubuk, Anggalia and Gareng followed their master.
