Once there was a king of evil from the kingdom of Iman Imantaka whose name is Niwata Kawaca. He was a powerful and cruel king who had conquered many kingdoms. The invincible king then had another ambition. He wanted to marry a beautiful angel from the heaven of god whose name is Dewi Supraba. He came to god Indra to propose for the beautiful angel. But the god refused. He thought that the king was not a good husband for the angel. The king was so angry that he decided to attack Kingdom of god Indra. The army of Niwata Kawaca proved to be very strong. The army of god was easily defeated. Luckily the god managed to close the gate. Then the god's palace was besieged by the army of Niwata Kawaca.

Then the god Indra decided to ask for help of human being. His choice fell into Arjuna, the third son of Pandu. At that time Arjuna was meditating in Mount Indrakila. He was meditating there to pray and to search for spiritual power that he needed to face the great war of Barata yudha (war of the Barata family). God Indra wanted to test his spiritual power to know whether he was fit for the battle with Niwata Kawaca. Indra sent seven beautiful angels to tease Arjuna. Two of the most beautiful ones were Supraba and Tilottama. They used their beauty to tease him but Arjuna was proved to be a true hero. He could resist their temptation. Indra was sure that Arjuna was the right person to overcome the problem.


Meanwhile King Niwata Kawaca realized that there was a hero who could be a threat to his power. That's why he decided to eliminate the potential threat. He sent a monster that could change himself into a wild boar. His name was Momong Murka. Momong Murka came to the village where Arjuna was doing ascetics. As he got there soon he changed himself into a giant wild bore and destroyed the village. Arjuna did not let him do further damage so he fought back. The wild boar was so strong that he was forced to use his new weapon. He attacked the wild boar with an arrow and it was killed instantly. But as he came closer to take a look at it he was very surprised to see another hero stood by it arrogantly.

Arjuna said politely:

'Excuse me; let me take a look at the wild boar. I just shot it with my arrow'

'Excuse me, did you shoot it? Look this is my arrow', the hero said.

'Of course I shot it. This is my arrow'


'But I shot it first. You just followed me'

The quarrel became so tense that they were both became very angry. The two heroes fought fiercely but finally the other hero could beat Arjuna. As he sat in the ground suddenly the hero changed into god Syiwa. Arjuna was shocked so he saluted the god immediately.

'I beg your pardon your holiness, I did not realized your presence'

'Arjuna, you are truly a hero. You have reached a highest level of spirituality. That's why I give you a special arrow called Pasopati. It was special because it had extraordinary spiritual power. No one could resist it. Be careful'
Not long after that Syiwa disappeared like smoke. Arjuna was then a very powerful hero. Just as he was about to go home to Indraprasta, an emissary from Indra came to see him. He asked Arjuna to help Indra fight King Niwata Kawaca. Arjuna agreed to help because he realized that it was his duty as a hero to protect anyone who needs his help.

In the heaven of god Indra, a discussion was held to overcome the threat of King Niwata Kawaca. Indra told Arjuna that Niwata Kawaca was unbeatable. He was very strong and he could resist any kinds of weapon, even the most lethal ones. His victims were countless. So they had to find out a strategy. Arjuna decided to find out the secret of his weakness. He ordered Supraba, the most beautiful angel, to surrender to King Niwata Kawaca. But it is only a trick to search for his weakness. Arjuna would protect her from a distant. He had a spiritual mystical power that could make him invisible.

Indra and Supraba agreed to the plan. So one day Supraba came to kingdom of Iman Imantaka to see King Niwata Kawaca. Arjuna who was invisible kept guarding her. The King was very happy to welcome her.
'Your Majesty King Niwata Kawaca. The Most Glorious king of Iman Imantaka. I am honored to be your servant. Let me serve you with all of my heart'
'O, my dear one. I have been waiting for this happy moment. But why you leave the heaven of Indra?

'I do not find happiness, your Majesty. I am sure I will find it here'
King Niwata Kawaca had fallen in love to Supraba for a long time. He did not realize that it was only a trick. Supraba kept praising him so Niwata Kawaca was flattered and he lost control of his emotion. Then Supraba asked about his power.

'Your Majesty, the most powerful king in the world. What makes you very powerful?'

'Supraba, long time ago gods gave me a special power after I done ascetics. I became very powerful and unbeatable. No weapon could do any harm to me. Except for one thing'

'What is that?'

'My only weakness is my tongue. If it is hit, I will be killed instantly'
Arjuna who stood by Supraba heard that. But he was invisible. Soon he went out of the palace and destroyed the front gate of the palace. When the soldiers were busy hunting for him Arjuna went back to the palace and saved Supraba. They fled to the heaven of Indra.

King Niwata Kawaca was very angry to hear that Supraba had escaped. He realized that god Indra and Arjuna were behind the event. So he immediately prepared his army to invade the heaven of Indra. He had a strong army of monsters.

As the army arrived in the heaven of Indra they stormed it. The army of god was no match for the mighty army of Iman Imantaka. King Niwata Kawaca who was very angry shouted:

'Indra, Arjuna, come out of you bedroom. Be a real man. Come on, fight me'
Then Arjuna came to fight him. Niwata Kawaca who realized that his secret had revealed fought very carefully although he was very angry. He never opened his mouth. Consequently it was very difficult for Arjuna to beat him. Then Arjuna tried a different strategy. When Niwata Kawaca hit him, he fell to the ground and cried.

'Please have mercy. I just followed order from my god. Let me live'
Niwata Kawaca was very satisfied when he saw Arjuna fell and then sat helplessly on the ground. He was sure that he won the fight.
'I thought you are a real hero Arjuna. I thought you are a tough enemy. I never know that you are a chicken'
Arjuna kept on begging.

'I am just an ordinary guy who searches for a living. I am not responsible for this. Please let me go'

'On one condition, do you endorse that I am your king?'
'Yes, absolutely, your majesty, great king of Iman Imantaka'
Niwata Kawaca was very satisfied. He laughed out loud.

'Ha, ha, ha, little coward,.......'

He was just about to finish his words when an arrow suddenly broke into his mouth. The mighty Pasopati arrow from Arjuna went through his mouth and hit his tongue. Niwata Kawaca was killed instantly. His army was shocked and soon they were demoralized. They had no choice but to surrender to the army of god.

The god Indra was very satisfied with Arjuna's contribution. So he gave him a great reward.

'Arjuna, Now that a threat to human and god had disappeared. You really have a great contribution to god and to all humanity. So I decided to give you a reward. You will marry the seven angels'
Arjuna married the most beautiful angels of heaven including Supraba and Tilottama. After that he stayed in heaven for seven months. But then he had to leave heaven. Finally he left them and returned to Indraprastha to serve for his country and his family.


Dongeng Bahasa Inggris - Lutung Kasarung dan Seorang Putri 

A long time ago in west Java there was a kingdom.  The king was Prabu Tapak Agung.  He had two beautiful daughters and no son.  Purba Rarang was his first daughter, and Purba Sari was his second daughter.  When the king was about to pass away he gave the throne to his second daughter, Purba Sari. Purba Rarang was very disappointed.  She thought that she deserve to replace her father as the ruler.  She discussed the situation with her fiancé, Indrajaya.

Then she got an evil idea.  She asked a witch to cast a spell to Purba Sari.  Soon after that Purba Sari had a strange skin disease.  There were black dots on her skin.  She also had skin rash.  Consequently Purba Rarang had a reason to tell people that her sister had a great sin and she was cursed by god.  She told her people that such a person did not qualify to be a leader.

After that she ordered the army to send Purba Sari to a wood and had her exiled there.  The army then built a wooden house for Purba Sari in a wood.  So Purba Sari lived in the wood.  As there were many animals in the wood she got along with them well.

Her best friend was a black monkey.  She called the monkey Lutung Kasarung.  Lutung was very attentive and very kind to her.  He gave fruits and vegetables to Purba Sari.

Lutung Kasarung was not an ordinary monkey.  He often meditates like human being.  One night when there was a full moon he sat meditating.  He was praying to God. Suddenly a spring emerged beside Lutung. It became bigger and bigger and finally it became a lake.  The water was very clear and aromatic.

The next day Lutung came to see Purba Sari.  He asked her to follow him.  Lutung took her to the lake and asked her to take a bath.  When Purba Sari took bath in the lake something strange happened.  Her skin disease was gone and her smooth fair skin was back.  Purba Sari was very happy and thankful to God. 

Meanwhile Purba Rarang who lived in the palace wanted to see her sister.  So she went to the wood with her soldiers.  She was very surprised when she saw Purba Sari was in good condition and looked beautiful.  Her evil heart led her to find a way to beat her sister. Then she asked her sister to measure the length of their hair.  The one who had the longest hair would win.  Purba Sari’s hair proved to be longer than Purba Rarang’s.

Purba Rarang was very jealous to her sister.  She thought hard to find a way to beat Purba Sari.  Then she got another idea.  She asked her sister to compare their fiancé.  Purba Rarang was sure that she would win because Indra Jaya was very handsome.  She was sure that Purba Sari did not have any fiancé.  When Purba Rarang showed Indra Jaya, Purba Sari was confused.  So she just appointed Lutung Kasarung as her fiancé.

Purba Rarang laughed out loud.

‘So your fiancé is a monkey?’

Lutung Kasarung then sat on the ground.  He was meditating and praying to God. Then amazingly he changed into a very handsome man.  Initially Lutung Kasarung was a handsome man who was punished by God and became a monkey.  After some years that day he got clemency from God and he became human being again.

Purba Rarang was very surprised.  He had no choice but to accept that her sister was better than her.  She asked for apology.  Purba Sari gave her apology.  After that they went back to palace.  Purba Sari became the queen and married to Lutung Kasarung.

Perang Baratayuda

Perang Baratayuda

Bibit perselisihan antara Pandawa dan Korawa dimulai sejak orang tua mereka masih sama-sama muda. Pandu, ayah para Pandawa suatu hari membawa pulang tiga orang putri dari tiga negara, bernama Kunti, Gendari, dan Madrim. Salah satu dari mereka dipersembahkan kepada Dretarastra, kakaknya yang buta. Dretarastra memutuskan untuk memilih Gendari, sehingga membuat putri dari Kerajaan Plasajenar itu tersinggung dan sakit hati. Ia pun bersumpah keturunannya kelak akan menjadi musuh bebuyutan anak-anak Pandu.

Gendari dan adiknya, bernama Sengkuni, mendidik anak-anaknya yang berjumlah seratus orang untuk selalu memusuhi anak-anak Pandu. Ketika Pandu meninggal, anak-anaknya semakin menderita. nyawa mereka selalu diincar oleh sepupu mereka, yaitu para Korawa. Kisah-kisah selanjutnya tidak jauh berbeda dengan versi Mahabharata, antara lain usaha pembunuhan Pandawa dalam istana yang terbakar, sampai perebutan Kerajaan Amarta melalui permainan dadu.

Akibat kekalahan dalam perjudian tersebut, para Pandawa harus menjalani hukuman pengasingan di Hutan Kamiyaka selama 12 tahun, ditambah dengan setahun menyamar sebagai orang rakyat jelata di Kerajaan Wirata. Namun setelah masa hukuman berakhir, para Korawa menolak mengembalikan hak-hak para Pandawa. Keputusan inilah yang membuat perang Baratayuda tidak dapat dihindari lagi.

Dikisahkan, Bharatayuddha diawali dengan pengangkatan senapati agung atau pimpinan perang kedua belah pihak. Pihak Pandawa mengangkat Resi Seta sebagai pimpinan perang dengan pendamping di sayap kanan Arya Utara dan sayap kiri Arya Wratsangka. Ketiganya terkenal ketangguhannya dan berasal dari Kerajaan Wirata yang mendukung Pandawa. Pandawa menggunakan siasat perang Brajatikswa yang berarti senjata tajam. Sementara di pihak Kurawa mengangkat Bisma (Resi Bisma) sebagai pimpinan perang dengan pendamping Pendeta Drona dan prabu Salya, raja kerajaan Mandaraka yang mendukung Korawa. Bisma menggunakan siasat Wukirjaladri yang berarti "gunung samudra."

Balatentara Korawa menyerang laksana gelombang lautan yang menggulung-gulung, sedang pasukan Pandawa yang dipimpin Resi Seta menyerang dengan dahsyat seperti senjata yang menusuk langsung ke pusat kematian. Sementara itu Rukmarata, putra Prabu Salya datang ke Kurukshetra untuk menonton jalannya perang. Meski bukan anggota pasukan perang, dan berada di luar garis peperangan, ia telah melanggar aturan perang, dengan bermaksud membunuh Resi Seta, Pimpinan Perang Pandawa. Rukmarata memanah Resi Seta namun panahnya tidak melukai sasaran. Setelah melihat siapa yang memanahnya, yakni seorang pangeran muda yang berada di dalam kereta di luar garis pertempuran, Resi Seta kemudian mendesak pasukan lawan ke arah Rukmarata. Setelah kereta Rukmarata berada di tengah pertempuran, Resi Seta segera menghantam dengan gada (pemukul) Kyai Pecatnyawa, hingga hancur berkeping-keping. Rukmarata, putera mahkota Mandaraka tewas seketika.

Dalam peperangan tersebut Arya Utara gugur di tangan Prabu Salya sedangkan Arya Wratsangka tewas oleh Pendeta Drona. Bisma dengan bersenjatakan Aji Nagakruraya, Aji Dahana, busur Naracabala, Panah kyai Cundarawa, serta senjata Kyai Salukat berhadapan dengan Resi Seta yang bersenjata gada Kyai Lukitapati, pengantar kematian bagi yang mendekatinya. Pertarungan keduanya dikisahkan sangat seimbang dan seru, hingga akhirnya Bisma dapat menewaskan Resi Seta. Bharatayuddha babak pertama diakhiri dengan sukacita pihak Korawa karena kematian pimpinan perang Pandawa.

Setelah Resi Seta gugur, Pandawa kemudian mengangkat Drestadyumna (Trustajumena) sebagai pimpinan perangnya dalam perang Bharatayuddha. Sedangkan Bisma tetap menjadi pimpinan perang Korawa. Dalam babak ini kedua kubu berperang dengan siasat yang sama yaitu Garudanglayang (Garuda terbang).

Dalam pertempuran ini dua anggota Korawa, Wikataboma dan kembarannya, Bomawikata, terbunuh setelah kepala keduanya diadu oleh Bima. Sementara itu beberapa raja sekutu Korawa juga terbunuh dalam babak ini. Diantaranya Prabu Sumarma, raja Trigartapura tewas oleh Bima, Prabu Dirgantara terbunuh oleh Arya Satyaki, Prabu Dirgandana tewas di tangan Arya Sangasanga (anak Setyaki), Prabu Dirgasara dan Surasudirga tewas di tangan Gatotkaca, dan Prabu Malawapati, raja Malawa tewas terkena panah Hrudadali milik Arjuna. Bisma setelah melihat komandan pasukannya berguguran kemudian maju ke medan pertempuran, mendesak maju menggempur lawan. Atas petunjuk Kresna, Pandawa kemudian mengirim Dewi Wara Srikandi untuk maju menghadapi isma. Dengan tampilnya prajurit wanita tersebut, Bisma merasa bahwa tiba waktunya maut menjemputnya, sesuai dengan kutukan Dewi Amba yang tewas di tangan Bisma. Bisma gugur dengan perantaraan panah Hrudadali milik Arjuna yang dilepaskan oleh istrinya, Srikandi.

Dalam babak ini juga diadakan korban demi syarat kemenangan pihak yang sedang berperang. Resi Ijrapa dan anaknya Rawan dengan sukarela menyediakan diri sebagai korban (Tawur) bagi Pandawa. Keduanya pernah ditolong Bima dari bahaya raksasa. Selain itu satria Pandawa terkemuka, Antareja yang merupakan putra Bima juga bersedia menjadi tawur dengan cara menjilat bekas kakinya hingga tewas. Sementara itu Sagotra, hartawan yang berhutang budi pada Arjuna ingin menjadi korban bagi Pandawa. Namun karena tidak tahu arah, ia bertemu dengan Korawa. Oleh tipu muslihat Korawa, ia akan dipertemukan dengan Arjuna, namun dibawa ke Astina. Sagotra dipaksa menjadi tawur bagi Korawa, namun menolak mentah-mentah. Akhirnya, Dursasana, salah satu anggota Kurawa membunuhnya dengan alasan sebagai tawur pihak Korawa.
