32) GK 23.1 Abhimanyu says:
Sākṣāt śrī ni kalangwan ing pasir amānuṣa mara kita ngūni n anglĕngĕng
nāhan kāraṇa ni ngwang anghyang asamādhi turida ri sihanta sanmata
mangke pwa n inanugrahanta wĕnangangkwa lumawana ri śakti ning smara
ndī rāgī ta kunang dumĕlwa kakawinku nagata kawi digjayeng langö
1 “Back then, as you sought enchantment
you were the goddess incarnate of coastal beauties,
So it was I made supplication to the gods,
practicing the samadhi of amorous longing,
that you might consent to love,
Now that you have granted your favor,
I will have strength to stand against the Power of the Love God,
So that wherever there are poets consumed by passion,
studying closely my kakawin
they may go on to world-mastery in beauty.”

This is another example that suggests that the doubled irrealis marker found with 1st and 2nd

33) GK 23.2 2 "Ndan pintangkwa harebu haywa maluy ing madhu manis i wuwusta ring
puḍak
tolih ringranga ning rimang kĕnakĕnân alara turida ri dwa ning guyu
yadyastun ngwang iki n dudul-dudulĕn ing hyun idan-idanĕn ing karāsikan
nyāmâku n pĕjahâsilunglunga karaskw iki n awiji tangis linangwakĕn"
“And my request to you, listen well good lady,
let not the sweet words
you inscribed on a pandan blossom
turn again into honey,
Look back on the confusion of love sickness,
that duplicitous laughter has brought
to one sick with love,
Even if I were roused to passion,
driven to distraction
