LEGEND OF MUNJUL INSCRIPTION

A fishing boat with three people seemed to go slowly splitting the calm watery beach. That afternoon the sun was shining not too hot so that the wind blowing was not too stinging.

“With this much catch, we can istiraltat one two days on land.” One of the fishermen expressed the joy of his heart while fondling their fish, his smile seemed so bright.

“Ya,” replied the friend next to him, “This is my chance to be able to hang out with my wife for longer.”

“Anyway home, I feel my wife is more beautiful than any fish!” welcome the first fisherman again. Meanwhile, the rower man who was behind his two friends seemed to eavesdrop on the conversation of the two friends. Her face looked so innocent and with her brow she asked a question interrupting the conversation of the two people.

“What the hell are you guys talking about?”

The two friends heard clearly the question from the rower man but they found it quiet and continued their conversation.

“You know? I even prepared a seahorse!” said the second man. And was greeted with great interest by the first person.

“Wah? Caught her? Can I have one?”

Not a second person had time to answer the question, the rower man who felt ignored with an innocent look again asked the question.

“What is the relationship between fish and your wife?”

The question of the rower man this time got a reaction, even more than he had imagined. The two friends looked towards him while together speaking in a loud voice. “Be quiet, Virgin!”

The two friends looked at the rower man with furrowed brows, it seemed that they were already troubled by the rower man's question. As for the case with the rower man himself, for the sake of seeing the reaction of his two friends, he could only stoop nervously while biting the paddle rod. He only spoke inwardly with utter incomprehension. “Why they are angry” It seems there is nothing wrong with my words.”

The two rower boys then resumed their conversation and turned their backs on him. With an annoyed face the rower man threw away his face and cursed in his heart. “Bogged! I don't have a wife”

The white sandy beach where they leaned the boat was already visible. Their boat is now cruising along the coast before finally arriving at the destination. But when they arrived at a beach corner sheltered by dense trees, another boat appeared from behind the bend. At first only the front of the ship was visible and over time the entire ship was visible. The ship was not very large but when compared to the three people's boat, it was three times larger, complete with a sail pole and four oars on each side.

The ship that appeared suddenly instantly startled the two rower boys. Their distance is too close and there may be a collision if it is not immediately deflected. Both of them exclaimed in shock. “I...it! “

Stuttering, they shouted at the rower man. “Bend boat! Turn boat!”

As for the rower man, the incident still irritated him. Nonchalantly he pretended not to hear the nervous screams of his friend. While looking in another direction and closing his eyes, he was engrossed in whistling. The rower man intended only to reply to the attitude of his two friends who did not ignore him, but his reply seemed too excessive, he should have heard and could distinguish between ordinary words with nervous cries. And maybe if he saw what was really going on, his attitude would be very regretted later.

Collision will soon occur, the two paddler boys no longer have time to shout at the rower man or do other actions. Even to escape and save themselves they do not remember. They leaned down and waited in resignation for all that was to come. But in those crucial moments, the ship in front of them suddenly turned its boat and a collision was spared. The ship drove in the direction and side by side with the three fishermen's boat. And before the three fishermen realized, some strings floated from the direction of the ship. The rower man was still whistling and did not realize that a rope had floated nearby. The rope suddenly landed on his body and spun towards the neck. The rower was surprised and saw what was running around his neck, but he did nothing. Because when he regained consciousness and knew what was wrapped around his neck, the rope at the end of which was tied by a ballast from wood was suddenly pulled tightly upwards. The rower man choked and his body lifted following the pull of the rope. Meanwhile, the other ropes appeared to be wrapped around and tied around some parts of the boat. The boat is pulled to the side and makes its position slightly tilted. The two rower boys knew and were aware of what was going on in their boat but they did not understand what it all meant. They looked at the boat beside their boat and looked around for someone to ask.

Their search was immediately answered. There, on the boat, under the glare of the afternoon sun, a body stood relaxed and looked to be watching them. The two fishermen raised their hands to block the sunlight as they looked up, towards the boat where the body figure was. Just then the figure sounded speechless to them.

“Many of your catches too! You must be thinking about pleasure so you do not realize our presence!”

While squinting, one of the fishermen ventured to ask a question.”Who are you and what do you want?”

The figure replied while shaking his waist and patting his chest. “We are pirates! And we are happy to disturb the pleasure of people!” At that time the figure lowered and advanced his body so that his face could now be seen by the fishermen. The figure who claimed to be a pirate was of a large height. He was wearing a shirt limited to the base of his arm, it was open and did not cover his broad, muscular chest with dense fur, while a large, yellow-gold necklace seemed to hang in front of his chest. At the bottom, he only wore a piece of cloth limited to the middle of the thigh.

His face that was overgrown with a thick, transverse mustache and a bushy, unkempt beard looked violent as he spoke. With shoulder-length hair and a large earring next to the golden yellow as well, a piece of headband cloth wrapped around his forehead with one part of the eye closed to the left.

“Send yours if you want to congratulations!”

Two fishermen were speechless, but suddenly a loud voice greeted the pirates. “Enak only! We're trying to find fish in the sea and you want to ask for it? Huu!”

They all looked towards the sound. A rower man with an annoyed face looked at the pirate. He looked flat with his neck tied to a rope. Furious he pulled the rope with his hands and feet making his skinny body bent in such a way and even so it looks funny. The pirates squinted their eyes. He then threw his face in the other direction with his presence.

“Then, return to the sea and take pains again!”

After saying so, calmly the dwarfed pirate jerked the rope that tied the rower. The man who was a rower glared with his neck stretched because he was strangled. His body lifted from the boat and floated forward and then into the water.

A dwarf-headed pirate gawked from the wall of the ship. “Ooh! Maybe this means `assembling upstream swimming to the edge, getting sick first and then swimming desperately’, yaaa?!”

Meanwhile, without wasting time, the creepy-looking pirates immediately gave orders to other pirates. “Come move their fish to our ship!”

The pirates immediately moved following that order. A tall and skinny pirate grabbed the arm of a dwarfed pirate.”Come!”

With a haughty look, the dwarfed pirate pointed his index finger in front of his face. “Shut up! If it was, I already knew what it meant!”

But suddenly, a pirate who was at the back of the ship was clamoring while pointing in one direction. “Chairman! Look over there!”

All turned to the direction indicated by the man, and in the distance, there appeared a boat twice the size of the ship was proceeding quietly in the opposite direction to their ship. Instantly, the rancid-looking pirate called the chief soared while dancing in excitement.

“Wah! This is a big catch!”

The dwarf pirate crossed his arms in front of his chest while saying haughtily. “No problem for me!”

Eagerly, the chairman gave new orders to his men while pointing towards the large ship earlier. “Marl us broken their pleasure!”

A fat pirate pulled the rope that had tied the rower. “Sorry, yeah! Don'tm mad! We got it back!” He jerked the rope and immediately the rower's neck was free from the rope. While swimming, the rower man breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately headed for his boat and held on to the edge of the boat. But at once, his two friends immediately took the opportunity to escape. “Quick we go!” Without waiting for the rower man to climb back into the boat, they immediately rowed the boat quickly while the other rowed using both hands. The rower man with a nightclub yelled at his friends. He held the edge of the boat tightly as the boat started to speed. Sea water splashed onto the face of the rower man.

Meanwhile, on the large ship that was flagged with the dragon emblem, a somewhat fat man in royal noble clothes came out from the inside of the ship. Just then another man seemed to approach while bowing his body.

“What's up, Admiral?” ask the noble. The one asked before finally answering. “There are two boats in front of us, The Minister!”

The minister raised his head to look ahead. Then he said again. “Leave it! But if they do anything suspicious, you know what to do!” Admiral yelled again. “Hamba, the Minister”‘ The Minister nodded then looked forward again, then he walked back inside the ship.

Some time later, the two boats came close to each other and passed by. The pirates were standing on the side of their ship. The rowers who were on the big ship looked at their jaws while nodding kindly. One of the rowers whispered to his friend. “They look weird, well?” His friend nodded and looked up. Raising his hands with a big smile, he greeted the pirate. “Hai, the fishermen! How are you?”

Having just been speechless, a rope suddenly floated towards Lehemya. He had not had time to match it, the rope had been pulled by people and and twisted towards the neck and then touched. Instantly the rower was suffocated with his tongue out and his body was pulled forward. The rower's man splashed into the sea. What pulled the rope was a fat pirate. When he managed to throw the rower man, the dwarf pirate asked him. “What does that mean: no pleasantries for pirates?”

The one asked nodded while brandishing his thumb. “Betul!”

The admiral asked angrily to the pirate. “Hei! What are you guys doing?”

The pirate leader replied. “We are the pirates who rule these waters. Greeted by a dwarf-bodied pirate. “Betul!”

The admiral said again. “Do you guys? This ship belongs to the Tarumanegara kingdom! And inside was a Kingdom minister!”

The pirate chief threw his face away while saying indifferently. “No matter!”

Re-welcomed by the dwarf. “That means: we will keep robbing your ships!”

Having just finished those words, the pirate chief gave orders to his men. “Seraaaaaang!”

Seeing this, the Admiral pulled out his keris and gave orders to the crew. “Defend the ship and protect the Minister until the last point of blood!”

A few weeks later.

Two people were fishing on the beach. Both of them wore clothes like most people at that time, which is a plain cloth tied around the waist and only covers the lower body. People who are large height and in conversation with hair strung up to the shoulders seem to touch the fishing line. “Can again!” said. Not far beside him his friend who was much smaller and much shorter in stature with his hair curled up could only look on with annoyance. “Huh!” But suddenly his face turned bright. He felt his fishing rod pulled. “Well! After a long time, you finally ate also my bait!” He's getting ready to pull the fishing line. His friend, Bhimaparakrama or Bhima, approached and asked.

“What's up, Wamana? Did anyone eat your bait?”

The one asked answered arrogantly. “Sure! You think you're just you?”

Vamana then began to pull. But it feels hard. Vamana pulled it tighter but it didn't work either. By exerting his strength even harder the fishing rod was pulled, but the result remains the same. Bhima approached and asked again. “Why? Any problems?”

Wamana keeps pulling the fishing line. “Whispering! Just look, my catch must be much bigger than all you've got!” Wamana then jerked her fishing line. This time he succeeded. But suddenly Bhima covered her mouth while holding back a laugh.

“Quite hard! it seems big! Hahaha!”

Wamana was very upset because of the attitude of her friend, then she looked into her fishing line and was immediately surprised. A crab was hanging there. Not the fish he thought. “Hah?”

Infuriated, Wamana lifted and twisted her fishing line. Unsatisfied with that, he slammed his fishing line and walked closer to Bhima. Then without further ado he immediately raised Bhima's fishing line and then threw it into the water. Seeing the Vamana, Bhima could only shout banning. “Hei! Oi! Don't disturb my hook!”

At that moment, Bhima heard the water gushing. He was looking for the sound, and just a short distance from the shore, something seemed to be floating on the water. He sharpened his gaze, then after believing that the tossed was not just wood or other meaningless objects, he reached towards Vamana. “Waman! Just stop! Look there!”

Wamana doesn't care. “Stupid time! No maul”

“It seems that someone is drifting! I want to help him!” bhima said as she walked towards the beach while Wamana continued her anger. Bhima went down into the water and approached the floating object. So close, it turned out that his guess was right. Someone appeared to be face down on a wooden shield. “Really! People drift! Still life or ..”

Bhima raised the man's head. He felt that the person was still breathing. “He's alive!”

Bhima picked up the man to help immediately, but he saw the shield that the man was wearing was washed away. Instantly he was surprised. Bhima changed her mind, she put people's bodies on the shield. Then with tremendous energy, he lifted the man up again with his shield using one hand.

Wamana saw her friend approaching but she remained indifferent while sitting on the beach. Then Bhima said. “This is the royal prajunt Tarumanegara, Wamana! We have to take him to the palace!”

Vamana covered her face while shaking her head. “Good! Perfect is my bad luck!”

The Royal Palace of Tarumanegara

The Purnawarman seemed to be sitting on his throne faced by the royal dignitaries when he received the news delivered by his prajunt who was now sitting in front of him accompanied by Vamana and Bhimaparakrama.

The face of the Purnawarman looks gloomy. “Betul is really cruel and barbaric!” Repeatedly he took in a fretful breath while once in a while muttering. “That is the fate of my minister and his guards!”

As he said to himself, the Purnawarman continued to mutter. “And the pirates were reminded that the ship belonged to the kingdom. But it remains uncared for and they keep robbing him!”

The Purnawarman shook his head. For a few moments he drowned in silence. But suddenly his face seemed to harden as he raised his head again while patting the base of the throne back slightly hard.

“Alright I must take decisive action for this matter!”

All those present bowed their heads as the Purnawarman rose from the throne and stood spreading his gaze toward his subordinates.

“For the safety and smoothness of the waters in the territory of the kingdom of Tarumansoon ..”

All those present were further bowed as the Purnawarman continued his sentence in a louder voice. The left hand holds the chest while the right one is stretched wide.

“With this, I declare war on pirates! And I will lead the attack myself

This event occurred on the 3rd Dark Section of Moon Maga (Januaril February) in 321 Caka (403 AD), the Purnawarman launched a war against pirates that rampant in western and northern waters.

Dozens of royal warships marched out of the royal port of Tarumanegara. At the front of the largest ship, in her iron clothes, stood proudly Sang Purnawarman accompanied by the Commander of Cakravarman and Sang Senopati Sarwajala, Nagawarman.

A few days later, in the middle of the ocean.

The night had long since passed its peak. The sky was dark without light and without moon. There is only a deep and gripping darkness. But in the distance, like almost parallel to the horizon line, there are two small points of light that are swaying in the middle of the ocean. May the light come from two rather large ships throwing anchors. Looking closely, only one of the two ships still signifies activity. And from that ship, lament until the sound of people talking brought by the wind that blows arise sinking.

“Lose again! Nevermind! I'd better just sleep.”

Of the many crew members, only three are still awake. They gathered to form a semicircle among the dozens of others lying here and there. Under the faint illumination of the amber lamp light, they faced a piece of leather pictured some kind of marine animal that was scattered on the floor of the ship. One of them held a coconut shell that was formed in such a way as to resemble a smoothed bowl. Such a device was a tool for gambling games at that time. Nearby, in front of each person, splattered a kind of metal currency used to place bets.

At that moment, the man holding the coconut shell seemed to say to his friend. “Don't get mad like that! Let's put it up again! This time it will! A shrimp? The crab? Conch?”

The one being talked to looked out the window.

“Since this afternoon you said so! And it's almost morning!”

“Who knows that now when your luck arrives?” sahut again.

But that one person instead broke down while previously saying in a rather loud voice. `Maimah herself.”

Suddenly, their sleeping comrades suddenly woke up and their annoyed faces all yelled at those who were still awake. “Whispering! You want us to rob?”

Those who play instantly slouch. But suddenly they were shocked by the noise so crowded. And before they could do anything, the wall of the ship where they were at that moment, was suddenly pierced by the spear-eye spears that gushed into the inside. The pirates were shocked to death. One of them acted quickly and jumped towards the window to look out and find out what was going on, suddenly, he was hooked.

Several tens of meters from the two pirate ships, visible lights lined up in a circle around the two ships. At first glance, it looks beautiful. But what made one of the pirates receded was not because of the beauty of it, but because after he watched more clearly and realized that the lights came from the royal ships. And now the ships have surrounded them tightly. With a pale and trembling face, one of the pirates said limply to his friends.

“We — have-beleaved”‘

Meanwhile, in one of the largest ships of the royal fleet which at that time had indeed surrounded two pirate ships. Sang Purnawarman, Sang Senopati Sarwajala and the Commander of Cakravarman were questioning one of the soldiers from the reconnaissance forces.

“Soldiers. Are these really the pirate ships?”

The soldier was.

“Betul. The Senopat’!”

The Purnawarman nodded.

“If you are, give me a warning to attack, Uncle Senopati!”

“Good. The Prabu!”

Senopatt Sarwajala gave a warning to the trumpeter to immediately sound it as a sign to start the attack. The trumpet blower jutted and then began to blow.

Nguuungg!

The sound of trumpets echoed in the middle of the ocean, the leaders of the troops on each ship immediately gave orders to his troops.

“Shoot!”

Instantly, hundreds of spears and arrows were released. The glint of spear eyes and arrows in the darkness seemed so shuddering as it shot rapidly towards the target. The sounds of the wood crumbling and the screams of those hit by the spears and arrows overlapping mingled into one another over overcoming making the once quiet and calm atmosphere turn into a frenzy. There is no meaningful struggle. Before the sun appeared on the eastern horizon, the pirate horde was conquered. Those who surrendered were taken captive by Tarumanegara's royal forces.

At that time, Vamana with Bhima and other soldiers were on a used ship belonging to the pirates to search for the remains of the horde that might still be hiding. After a long search and no meeting, they finally ended the search. As he was about to leave the pirate ship to return to their respective ships, suddenly Wamana's ears caught a suspicious sound.

Vamana stopped her steps. The voice sounded so faint and only sounded once, but Wamana felt so sure that it was the sound of wood friction or something like that. Vamana intends to call Bhima, but Bhima seems to be a little far away from him. Curiously, Wamana re-entered the inside of the ship while sneaking around. In the dimness of the light of the weakly shining lamp, Wamana sharpened her gaze and searched. But however the research of Vamana looking, still he did not find what he was looking for, let alone humans, cockroaches were not visible there. Disappointed, Vamana stepped out of the room. Suddenly, the voice sounded again. Not too loud indeed, but it was enough to give directions to Vamana to know the direction of the room. Vamana threw her body parallel to the floor of the room, meticulously she began to palpate. And Vamana's face suddenly turned bright as her hand felt a thin crack on the seemingly flat floor. The sound of the old hinge not being lubricated was immediately heard as Wamana lifted and gouged the thin gap that served as the cover using the tip of her sword. A weak light penetrated into the gaping hole beneath him. Vamana was silent for a moment. He stood up and weighed.

“Do I have to go in there.’ But alone? Amankah's? Or..”

There was the sound of a soft sigh from behind the darkness of the gaping hole. Mamana snaps.

“Who is it?”

There's no answer. Vamana repeated the question.

“Who is that? Answer or I'll call the other soldiers!”

Mehdadak once, a face appeared on the threshold of the hole. Vamana was shocked and fell down, but she soon took control of herself.

“Who are you? Are you a member of the pirate horde that's`’

“Not! I am a royal warrior!”

“What are you doing in there? I can't believe it! Come up here so I can see you clearly! And beware, don't try to do anything!”

“I'm urinating! Wait a minute, I'll ride!”

Wamana frowned. “What's not wrong?”

The guy's up. Wamana saw the person was indeed in uniform Tarumanegara royal soldiers. But suddenly Wamana retreated while covering her nose. The soldier saw Vamana's reaction but he continued to step closer. Wamana continued to retreat until finally his back hit the wall.

The soldier smiled and continued forward, but so close to Vamana, he suddenly deflected his direction towards the exit. Vamana peeked through her fingers and she breathed a sigh of relief. But it was only for a moment, because next he saw the soldier walking to the edge of the ship and directly plunged into the water. Vamana yelled out. “Hey, no!”

Be late. Because a few seconds later from under the ship came the sound of something entering the water. Vamana ran after and called out with a feeling of guilt. “Warrior! Don'tm mad! I didn't mean to insult you! Get out of the water and go up! I didn't know you were so desperate!”

At that time, Bhima and some of the soldiers who also heard the voice had already arrived at the side of Vamana. “What's up, Wamana? What was that sound? Is something splashing?”

Wamana nodded sadly. “lya. A soldier!”

Without saying much more, Bhima immediately jumped into the water. For a while Bhima dived in search, but she found no one down there. Out of curiosity, Bhima searched to the bottom of the ocean but the results remained nil. Finally, Bhima reappears to the surface. “There's no one down there!”.

She nodded and started crying. The few soldiers beside him tried to persuade him.

Meanwhile, Sang Purnawarman and the commanders were questioning one of the pirates who were successfully captured. “Where is your lead?”

The one asked shook his head. “We don't know.”

Commander Cakravarman approached the pirates. “You know who you're dealing with?”

The pirate was full of fear. “But we really don't know!”

The Purnawarman said again. “Good. If it's true that your leader is not here. But, in order to ascertain whether your leader is alive or dead, I want you to tell me how his features are!”

Instantly and thoughtlessly again, the pirate replied.

“She smells fishy and has asthma!”

Commander Cakrawarman snarls.”Don't mess! You think he's a fish? What we mean by those traits is how your leader really is!”

Frightened, the pirate answered. “It's hard to say. He is always changing in appearance so it is difficult to explain the characteristics of his figure!”

The Commander snapped again. “Enough! You have played Sang Prabu and will be punished accordingly!”

Pirates are terrified. “But that's exactly what it is!”

The Commander signaled that the pirate was immediately taken away. The pirates tried to convince him to believe his words, but the two soldiers immediately approached and took him away. “Ampun, The Prabu! We're not lying! That's the truth! Forgive us!”

Furthermore, of the 80 pirates, some were killed in the attack by the fleet of the Kingdom of Tarumanegara while the remaining 52 people can be held captive. Then, one by one, the captured pirate was killed in various ways and all his corpses were thrown into the sea.

The sun just appeared. Golden rays color the sky. A shady and cool atmosphere accompanied the fleet of Tarumanegara royal ships that had arrived at the Gulf Coast of Lada. These ships drove down the stream of the Cidangiang river and into the interior. Residents cheered the arrival of the royal forces who had just managed to quell the usual hordes of pirates who haunt and roam around disturbing the security of the local population.

The Purnawarman and his commanders went down and boarded and were greeted by local village elders while the soldiers were allowed to go down to land to simply unwind and rest after a long time at sea and fighting overnight. Bhima and Wamana seem to be joining the locals. They talked and exchanged stories. At that moment, Wamana who was laughing, suddenly fell silent. His eyes glared and his nostrils twitched. Then he stood up suddenly while looking over and over. Bhima and the others became astonished at the change in Vamana's attitude. Vamana walked to and fro while acting like kissing in all directions.

Some of the people who saw it looked at each other in wonder. When he returned to his original place, Wamana seemed to be thinking hard. His brows furrowed sharply while his head was being shaken while muttering. “Any!”

Bhima couldn't help his curiosity. “What's wrong with you, Wamana?”

Vamana is still acting the same. “Any!”

“What's weird, hey?” Ask Bhima again while poking the arm of Vamana.

“I kind of smell the same.”

“Bau? What smell?”

“You soldier I saw last night splash into the sea!”

This time Bhima frowned. “Do not joke, Wamana. You mean the soldier who drowned last night?”

Wamana nodded quickly. “Iya”

“Didn't you see for yourself, I couldn't find it even though I was looking for it to the bottom of the sea. Is he probably safe? Could he have gotten on board without us knowing?”

“Maybe. But when I looked around I didn't see anyone who even looked like him, let alone him.”

“You don't see it, but you can smell it. Do you think that came earlier it was the ghost” Mana maybe, it's noon, many more people!”

“Then, what smell or who did I kiss? Honey, that smell was gone before I could do more!”

“This smell, Wamana. What kind of smell do you smell?”

“Amis”

Bhima started smiling. “Amis? You mean like the smell of fish” Isn't it natural considering this place is the edge of the beach and also the fishing village?”

Vamana with serious mimicry still maintains his belief.

“Not, Bhima. I know this smell!”

At that time, Sang Senopati Sarwajala stood in the middle of the village and called the soldiers to gather because there was an announcement to be made. After that, he started talking.

“Segenap residents and soldiers Tarumanegara. There are important things that we will convey on the orders of Sang Prabu Purnawarman. From the results of the conversation between Sang Prabu and the Elders of this Village, the, so a plan was created to perpetuate the success of the event to eradicate the hordes of pirates who have been harassing security in these waters and also as an expression of gratitude from the Prabu for the willingness of the community around the river Cidangiang to jointly help each other maintain peace in these waters for the sake of mutual interest Also. It is appropriate that the government and its people should work hand in hand for the progress of the country. And finally, all this success would not have happened without the support and assistance and cooperation between the kingdom and the people”.

The sentence of the Senopati was greeted with a cheer from all the soldiers and residents. Later, the soldiers and locals were ordered to prepare everything. While the men worked, the women cooked food to be served later. The atmosphere in the village became so crowded. Dozens of buffalo were collected in the middle of the field for slaughter and some to be given to the population.

When lunch time comes, the working men rest and look for a shady place to shelter and unwind. The children of the population ran around carrying drinking water in earthen jugs and pieces of barnbu. Soon, the women came to bring lunch. The workers immediately welcomed and gloriously mulled.

In the cottage of the residence of the elder kmpung where the commanders and the Purnawarman are located, dishes have also been delivered by the women. Near the steps of the village elder's hut, Bhim and Wamana mingled with other workers and were eating a meal. Vamana seemed to be eating voraciously until the crumbs of food were stuck around her mouth and cheeks. From the line of women who brought dishes to the cottage Elders of the village, there appeared a beautiful young girl in the back queue. With her clumsily clangs, she threw her sweet smile at the workers while flanking the two jugs of water in her left-right hand. Arriving at the stairs of the cottage, the girl glanced at Vamana who was still busy with her food. But moments after the girl passed the stairs, Wamana was suddenly stunned. He stopped the mouth and stopped chewing. His head was raised and his eyes were wide open. Several breaths of Vamana were fixated, her nostrils moved with flowers. Bhima who saw Vamana's attitude asked.

“What's Wrong? You choking? Therefore, if you eat do not be too greedy!” It was like she had not heard Bhima's question. He held Bhima's arm tight.

“Bhima, did you smell that?”

“You what?” ask Bhima while sharpening her kiss. “, I smell nothing but the smell of the meat we eat, and the smell of your sweat!”

Wamana suddenly put down her food and got up to her feet while making a conversation she asked Bhima in a hurry.

“Who was the last person to pass near us?”

Bhima shrugged her shoulders while looking around. “You see for yourself, they're all eating. Just like us. Except..”

“Except whom?” urge Wamana with lust.

“Women who deliver dishes into this cottage. T api why?”

Without further questioning Bhima, Wamana immediately moved the cept into the hut. He jumped over the stairs with wide steps.

‘You what” did he go inside? Could-can he will interfere with the appetite of the people who are there!”

Thinking so, Bhima immediately rose up following Vamana.

Inside the hut, the women who brought food had started to come out one by one. They met up with Vamana. And they were shocked because Vamana looked at them sharply while drawing her face closer to the bodies of the women. The women looked in surprise as they continued out from inside the hut. Vamana went into the interior of the room where the village elder, Sang Purnawarman and the Commander-in-Chief were gathering and getting ready to eat the food that had been served. There he saw only one woman who was putting a pitcher of water on the floor. All who were inside, except the woman, saw the coming of Vamana. But Wamana instead put her index finger to her lips. With a tiptoe he walked up to the woman from behind. The Purnawarman and the Commanders who have known Warnana and already know how its nature, only fell silent while smiling at the behavior of the Vamana.

Just as the woman finished putting the jug and got up, Warnana jumped and pounced on the woman. The woman's body was pushed and plunged forward because it was crushed by the body of Vamana. Wamana exclaimed, pressing the woman's head against the floor. “Because of you now!”

Then the foot of Vamana moved kicking two jugs of water that had been carried by the girl so hard that it bounced and broke. “That water has been laced with poison!”

The village elder was only dumbfounded to see the incident. The Commander of Cakravarman rebuked Vamana. “Wamana, what are you doing? Aren't you looking at Sang Prabu with this kind of commotion? This time, your jokes aren't funny!”

Still pressing the girl's head, Wamana answered the Commander's words.

“Indeed not funny, because I didn't mean to joke. But does His Majesty not all feel bothered by this fishy smell?”

Instantly in the room sniffed.

“You fishy? I just smelled it. But I guess it's just the smell of this cooking. Then why?” ask The Purnawarman.

Vamana did not answer immediately. But he hit the girl on the back so hard that she coughed hard and breathed hard.

“How about this?” ask Wamana again.

Everyone looked at each other not understanding what Vamana meant.

“Why did you hit him that hard? What's wrong with you being so rude to a woman?”

At that moment Bhima entered the room. He joked as Sang Purnawarman and the Commanders turned their heads towards him.

“Ampun, Sang Prabu. Forgive the attitude of this servant and servant friend if you have done presumptuous things in front of Sang Prabu!”

The Purnawarman nodded. “I don't understand. What happened to Vamana, Bhima. She's like losing control.”

“Ampun, Sang Prabu. The servant does not know. But izinkamah Ija took care of it.”

The Purnawarman raised his hand. Bhima then approached Wamana. But just a few steps, Wamana called out to Bhima.

“Shut up at your place, Bhima!”

Bhima's steps stopped immediately. “But you have been presumptuous in front of the Prabu, Vamana. Come on, let's just get out there and release that innocent girl!”

“Bhima, do you remember the incident on the ship last night when you were diving into the sea in search of a soldier who drowned?” Bhima. “You remember this morning and just now when I said I smelled fishy?” Bhima nodded again.

“Good,” says Wamana. “Now, come closer!”

Bhima according to him. He stepped slowly towards Vamana. But a few jengkal from Vamana, Bhima stopped his steps while holding his breath. Smiling because of it.

“Well, what smell did you just smell?”

Bhima frowned. “Amis!”

“Fright!” womana. Then he said to Sang Prabu. “Hamba and Bhima were not present when Sang Prabu questioned one of the pirates last night. But from the story I heard from one of the soldiers present at the time, didn't the pirate say the traits of their leader” The features were really precise, really precise, although not trusted and considered fabricating!”

At that moment, the Purnawarman and the Commander-in-Chief gasped. They all looked at the girl who was under the body of Vamana. “I remember that. But is it possible that a girl like her can lead that ruthless band of robbers”?

Wamana shook her head quickly. “That characteristic was also said by that pirate. Didn't he say the leader was often changed in appearance?”

The Prabu nodded in understanding.

“Then, let's punish him! No matter how real she is!” said The Commander.

But all of a sudden, Vamana felt her body lift up and the once smooth skin of the woman now turned rough in her grasp. Moments later, Wamana looked down. And he was surprised to see how the body of the woman he had been overrunning had disappeared and had now turned into a huge figure, much larger even than his own body. Had not had time to do something, the figure suddenly thrashed loudly. The small man cannot survive. His grip slipped and his body was thrown backwards. The Prabu and the Commander-in-Chief who also saw the changes immediately rose from his seat in shock, as did Bhima. The huge tall figure was now rising up while growling furiously. Now the figure of the pirate leader is visible. He looked angry at the people around him. Seeing that, Vamana fearfully jumped back towards the exit and took refuge behind Bhima's body. “Bhima! Help me!”

The Commander-in-Chief immediately moves around Sang Prabu to guard against any bad possibilities that could threaten the safety of the Prabu.

“You won't be able to get out of here, Pirate! Surrender!” The Senopati snapped.

“And make you guys happy by giving me?” ask the leader. “No!” answer again while shaking. “But all of you have disturbed my pleasure, when you know that I am a pirate who works to interfere with people's pleasure! I remind you guys that you're not aware yet, it's upside down, you know?”

“You know what your biggest mistake was?” ask The Purnawarman.

“What yes?” The pirate shook his head.

“You have robbed and killed one of the ministers of the kingdom of Tarumanegara! It was an unforgivable mistake!” said the Purnawarman again while pointing towards the pirates.

“I don't need forgiveness from anyone! And if I want to rob, let alone a minister, even a king I will still rob if I want to!” The last sentence was uttered by the pirates very excitedly. Hence, suddenly holding onto his chest while trying to suck in a breath with great difficulty. Seeing that, Sang Senopati thought that the pirates were off guard. So he immediately jumped to attack the pirate. But the alleged Senopati is wrong, because the pirate can easily avoid the attack and even retaliate. There was a fierce battle inside the village elder's hut. The residents and soldiers had heard the commotion inside the hut and they all came crowding around the place. A few moments later, apparently the pirates are more resilient than the Senopati. Fierce fighting is back. But again proved that the pirate is really tough. The Commander was again pressed hard until finally he retreated away from the pirate. In order to see the two commanders helpless against the pirates, the Purnawarman himself finally intervened. But his officers are obstructing.

“Don't, Sang Prabu! We better get out of here! He's too tough for us! We do not want the safety of Sang Prabu threatened!”

The pirates laughed and chuckled at this. His arrogance also arises.

“Do not scramble, If you want, you can all give me a hand! I'm just having fun”

It was very disdainful of the words of the pirate. The Purnawarman felt humiliated and challenged. Then he shook off the hands of the commanders who were protecting him. But then a voice of someone said:

“Allow me to face it. The Prabu does not need to intervene!”

The Purnawarman turned his head and saw Bhima being yelled at him. Like a new person aware of a daydream, the Purnawarman gasped and smiled happily.

“Ah. Bhimas. I was so consumed by the arrogance of these pirates that I didn't realize you were here!”

“She is indeed powerful, Sang Prabu. But his arrogance just seemed to exceed his own ability. With the permission and blessing of Sang Prabu as well as the Commander-in-Chief all, I will try to fight him!”

“By pleasure, Bhima. Maybe you're the only one who can deal with it. Good luck!”

Bhima then stepped quietly towards the pirate who was still laughing while gouging his mouth towards Bhima.

“Heli, apparently Tarumanegara has run out Commander mainannva so must hand over the responsibility to this bongsor boy!”

Bhima kept getting closer.

“Bokah, not because you feel your body is big and then you think you can beat me! You better back off and let me finish off your king, then I'll let you live!”

Bhima didn't answer the pirate's taunts. He just kept stepping over to the pirate who became astonished because of Bhima's attitude. Just as Bhima was living a few more fathoms away from him, the pirate resentfully attacked Bhima. The pirate's punch hit Bhima in the chest. Bhima did not flinch and then with lightning fast Bhima reached out to the pirate. Know-how, the pirate's neck has been strangled by Bhima's sturdy hands. The pirate thrashed while hitting and kicking Bhima's body, Bhima even raised his hands up so that the pirate's body was also lifted up. The pirate began to choke his breathing, his eyes bulging while his hands and feet continued to beat and kick Bhima. From his mouth he let out a hoarse voice unclear what he said. The pirate's face turned red. Slowly his thrashing movements began to loosen. At that time Bhima lowered the body of the pirate and released his strangulation. The body of the pirate slumped to the floor weakly, he held onto his lehemya with a face of pain as he coughed. At that time, the Commander waved at some soldiers who were watching the incident.

“Dial” frame

The soldiers immediately carried out the order. They approached the pirate and secured him, this time he no longer resisted. Likewise when the soldiers took him away from the cottage. He could only look astonished and not understand Bhima. For the umpteenth time, the Purnawarman and the Commanders expressed their gratitude to Bhima and Vamana for their service which had spared the Purnawarman and his Members from the danger that threatened them.

Shortly thereafter, Sang Purnawarman ordered that the pirates be taken to the middle of the sea to receive the punishment as received by his men before. Now perfect is their crackdown on pirates who have been a frightening scourge for sailors.

Meanwhile, the event of the successful perpetuation of the pirate mob's crackdown soon begins. The form of immortality was manifested in an inscription located on the banks of the river Cidang, Sang Purnawarman rnenulisnya in the Sanskrit Pallawa script which among others reads as follows:

Vikrantayam vanipateh

Prabbhuh satyaparakramah

Narendraddhvajabutena

Purnnavarmmanahs

((This sign) the mighty ruler of the world, the faithful and heroic prabu, who became the banner of all kings, the famous Purnawarman)

The inscription is on the banks of the Cidangiang river, in the village of Lebak Munjul District Pandeglang Regency now.
