Mintuno the God of Fresh Water
15. The Freshwater God

The gods await the presence of the King of the gods Sanghyang Jagad Nata patiently. It had been almost an hour they waited, but the expected one did not appear.

So do not be surprised if the gods are impatient, mengedumel and swearing. Although they murmured in a whisper, it remained as crowded as the buzzing of thousands of bees.

After they waited for more than an hour, then it was seen that the aides of Sanghyang Jagad Nata began to appear. This is a sign that the number one person in Suralaya will soon appear.

Also true. Less than a quarter of an hour, Sanghyang Jagad Nata dressed in his greatness appeared accompanied by the escort nuns.

Seeing the appearance of Sanghyang Jagad Nata the gods is quite mafhum that this meeting is really special and almost certainly a new policy will emerge from it.

"I'm sorry, folks, you've waited a long time. Yes forgive me for having to check rereading some important letters... Also have to sign some policy I made...!!!" Sanghyang Jagad Nata began his speech.

"Next you must want to know what is the importance of today's meeting? There must be some among the brothers who guessed..!?"

Stop for a moment, then Sanghyang Jagad Nata continued his speech.

"Look brethren, you must have known that before Mina Lodra asked by force for the possession of the land of Samodra to be handed over to him.

Because we were unwilling to fulfill his wish so he attacked and ransacked the basic palace of Somodra. They were quite successful as evidenced by evacuating the basic rulers of Samodra here, to Suralaya.

Actually, Mina Lodra I've let her control the fresh waters. Evidently with him recruited Detya Yuyu Rumpung, Toad Brungkul and others who became his device.

But the lust of the Angkasa is indeed blatant. He not only controlled the fresh waters, but also controlled the oceans. He was a demon and we never adopted him as a god.

So his wish is outrageous.

Fortunately Mina Lodra successfully crushed Ontoseno grandson of the Mintuno Resi. For his services I actually gave a gift to Ontoseno. But Ontoseno refused, he asked his grandfather, Resi Mintuno, to be given a gift.

For this I have an idea, want to make Resi Mintuno a god.and I give up power over the territory or the freshwater area and let him partner with Sanghyang Baruna.

What do you think of this policy?" Sanghyang Jagad Nata ended his speech.

"That's a pretty good idea, my lord...!!" Sanghyang Kaneka Putera. The other gods follow.

"So that's when did my lord..!?" Batara Bayu.

"Today too...SK signed this morning. That's why I wear clothes like this.I mean I give her SK then I beautify also today..!" Sanghyang Jagad Nata.

For this Sanghyang Jagad Nata ordered Sanghyang Resi Kaneka Putera to call Resi Mintuno facing.

Deftly and without saying much, Sanghyang Resi Kaneka Putera came to the inn of the Mintuno Resi in Suralaya.

"Good morning Mintuno.you are told to face Sanghyang Jagad Nata to face. Please wear nice and neat clothes huh..!" Pinta Sanghyang Kaneka Putera to Resi Mintuno.

Resi Mintuno immediately dressed neatly and did not forget to signal his grandson to follow to Sanghyang Jagad Nata place.

Mintuno and Ontoseno face Sanghyang Jagad Nata. After making small talk, Sanghyang Jagad Nata immediately asked the Mintuno Sage.

And the second will I grant you to become a god?

And the third after you become the god I give up the territory of the whole freshwater. So all creatures that live in fresh water are You who rule Mintuno..!" Sanghyang Jagad Nata.

Hearing the explanation Sanghyang Jagad Nata heart Resi Mintuno happy not kepalang. And it was very unexpected that he would become a god.

And no longer expected that he would be trusted to rule the freshwater area.

So every creature that lives in the lake there in the river and the like under the rule of the Mintuno Resi.

"Thank you, my Lord.thank you, my Lord. Hopefully this trust can be fulfilled well and best..!" Answer the Mintuno Resi.

Ontoseno who listened was certainly happy not to think that his beloved grandfather was appointed and appointed as a god and ruler throughout the freshwater.

After becoming a god, of course, Resi Mintuno will be immortal, and his physique will be like that. Because becoming the god of the Mintuno Resi will be given to drink the holy water of Kamandanu water which is efficacious to make a long life and youth.

The inauguration of Resi Mintuno to become a god and ruler of fresh water was simple but sacred. After being appointed and given an SK, Mintuno got the task to eradicate the mob of followers of Mina Lodra.

Because Detya Yuyu Rumpung, as well as Crocodile Sakti and others still like to be powerful in freshwater areas.

For example, Brungkul Frog, although Mina Lodra is extinct and no longer in power. But he continued to extort to the inhabitants of the river.

The same thing is done by Bajulsengara and Ecemede. They do not hesitate to do violence against the inhabitants of the lake and lake.

It's really very troubling. Because it is appropriate if Sanghyang Jagad Nata orders Batara Resi Mintuno to eradicate them.

After being appointed as a god and ruler of freshwater areas, Resi Mintuno got the title of Batara or Sanghyang. So now Resi Mintuno is titled Batara Resi Mintuno or Sanghyang Resi Mintuno

The same thing happened to Sanghyang Resi Kaneka Putera.

Before being appointed as a god, Sanghyang Resi Kaneka Putera was a very powerful hermit. Even Sanghyang Jagad Nata was overwhelmed by it.

For his power Resi Kaneka Putera a powerful hermit mandraguna raised to be a god. He even became an adviser to Sanghyang Jagad Nata and the elders of the gods.

So that Resi Kaneka Putera got the title of Batara or Sanghyang. Therefore his name became Sanghyang Resi Kaneka Putera.

And he was given to drink the water of Tirta Kamandanu, the water of life so that whoever drinks the water then his age and physique are eternal and do not die. So the physical will always be the same as when first inaugurated as a god.

Now Sanghyang Resi Mintuno has become a god and ruler of fresh water. Certainly not a light task.

Because he must be able to guarantee the peace of his people, namely all living things in the lake, lake, situ, river and even sewer.

Not only that he also had to eradicate the remnants of the rebel forces of Mina Lodra. Therefore he had asked Ontoseno for help to find capable aides to help smooth his government.

Ontoseno immediately sought out the powerful and virtuous freshwater demons. Among them he recruited White Eel, Bulus Petak, Watu Crab and some Senopati who have extraordinary advantages.
