Lawanen (Lawanën) is a celebrated princess-heroine of the Darangen, famed for her beauty and often linked with the name Paramata Gandingan. She figures as bride and as the prize whose courtship and abduction touch off warfare among the sultanates, and in the Gandingan cycles she is the wife of the warrior Mabaning. Sources differ on her exact kinship to the house of Bembaran.
