Mintuno the God of Fresh Water
33. Ontoseno Hermit

Ontoseno and Dewi Djanokowati live happily. But in the country of Indraprasta or Amarta occurred an extraordinary event. State talisman or national heritage, the Sentence Kalimusada disappeared from its storage. Prabu Puntadewa is very agitated and grieving.

Because they believe that the amulet does not just protect the Pandavas, namely Prabu Puntadewa, Brotoseno, Djanoko, Nakula and Sadewa.

Moreover, the amulet is also considered to protect all the people of Indraprasta. And since the amulet was lost, many Indraprasta people have fallen ill. The more severe a pandemic is both extraordinary and frightening.

How no. They are sick in the morning. Dead night. It hurt the night, the next morning it died. The panditas, the healers, the shamans were deployed, but all in vain.

Therefore Prabu Puntadewa held an emergency meeting. Pandavas Lima gather, plus royal advisor Prabu Sri Krishna. The meeting discussed the disappearance of the Sentence Kalimusada. The meeting decided,

Sentence of Kalimusada must be found. And Brotoseno was assigned to find him. Therefore, Brotoseno immediately met Ontoseno.

"Ontoseno I'm asking for help. You are my most experienced child. You also love adventure. That's why I asked you for help..!" Brotoseno to Ontoseno.

"Is there a sir..?" Answer Ontoseno who still embraces Dewi Djanokowati beside him.

"Lookin Ontoseno. It has been more than a week the Sentence of Kalimusada disappeared from its storage. Pakdemu Prabu Puntadewa does not know who took it. Similarly, I, your Uncle Djanoko, Nakula and Sadewa do not know.

We just had an emergency meeting. The meeting decided to ask me to look for him. But right now I'm taking care of your sick mother.

Then I ask for your willingness to look for the Sentence of Kalimusada..!" Pinta Brotoseno to Ontoseno.

"God willing I will do, sir. Please take my wife. Because I must be ascetic to get a clue from the gods.

And whose name is ascetic, the time is unlimited. At least three or seven days. It could be forty days. Sometimes a hundred days and to an indefinable extent. It all depends on when the clue I get.

Therefore please take care of my wife and meet all her needs. I beg Restu to begin the search for the Sentence of Kalimusada immediately..!' ontoseno asked Brotoseno for permission.

After packing the clothes and supplies he would bring, Ontoseno parted ways with Djanokowati.

"My wife.I ask your permission. To go carry out the task of the state in search of the Sentence of Kalimusada.

I'll go home when I get the amulet. The time depends on when.

I've already left you Father. If there is something, let the Father take care of it. If you need anything, please tell Dad..Deck..!" Ontoseno's message to his wife.

After a friendly kiss, Ontoseno using Supiangin studies darted quickly leaving Djanokowati still standing.

Dangerous because of the newly felt intimacy must soon be separated from the husband he loves.

"May you survive my husband. And come home soon I miss you...!" Gumam Djanokowati slowly.

Ontoseno headed straight for the Mangleng Lion Cave, a very haunted cave and located within the dense Dandaka forest.

This cave is known as the nest of the devil genie heaven. The Javanese proverb says, "jalma mars jalma dead" means anyone who dares to approach let alone enter the cave, then he will die. Wh why?

Because the cave was filled with Banaspati, a ghost who prostrated his head but his hair fire and tongue stuck out long. It is said that humans who are licked by Banaspati will die charred.

In addition to Banaspati, there is also Buto ijo, a giant ghost with a fanged head and sharp pointed teeth. Buto Ijo habit often eat the contents of the human head.

Humans who became the prey of Buto Ijo usually sucked his brain and eaten his eye seeds. So the person who is the food of Buto Ijo, his head must be empty.

There are still more ghosts that are no less creepy, Wewe Gombel. This ghost is not after anything, except the male genitals.

So if there is a man who tries to enter Singo Mangleng Cave. Just be careful the anus can be plotted by Wewe Gombel to be eaten raw, or dipepes.

And there are many other serem ghosts who like to stop by and inhabit the Mangleng Lion Cave. Everyone on the two platforms knows about the haunted Dandaka Forest and Singo Mangleng Cave.

So does Ontoseno, he understands it. But it is worth remembering Ontoseno when a baby was once a god's master and he had to fight against Demon King Mina Lodra.

Mina Lodra is a giant fish-headed demon and very cruel, but she is amazing. In fact, Ontoseno was able to defeat and kill him.

So even though in the cave there are Banaspati, Buto Ijo and Wewe Gombel and others. Ontoseno was not afraid, if they tried to interfere it would definitely be brushed off.

The choice of Mangleng Lion Cave in addition to the quiet place, calm is also rarely anyone who dares to come to the place. So it is very appropriate for meditation and the like.

After taking his place in the cave, Ontoseno immediately meditated. Unite all thoughts and hopes to the Most Single One.

He closed all his five senses, with the determination of one goal, where the Talisman Kalimusada was. Such an attitude he did and until the seventh day came the Rare snake at the entrance of the cave.

The huge snake seemed to be deliberately guarding Ontoseno. So that no one carelessly enters the cave. Ontoseno remains engrossed in meditation without being distracted.

The day goes on. Day changes night. It did not feel Ontoseno doing meditation for a hundred days.

On this hundredth day comes Sanghyang Asih Prana or Sanghyang Wenang. Soon Sanghyang Wenang woke Ontoseno from his meditation.

"Wake up, my granddaughter Ontoseno. I'll come...!" The Asih Prana is gentle but contains tremendous inner energy, thus making the earth shake and Ontoseno's heart change.

"Ohw...Grandpa Wenang is coming. Good night, Kek..!" Sapa Ontoseno who has known Sanghyang Wenang since he became the master of the gods in infancy.

"I already know what you mean. And I promise I will show you where the Sentence of Kalimusada is.

But before that, you will ask for help to awaken the gods in Kahyangan Suralaya, whose recent actions have been many untrue...!" The Sanghyang Wenang.

"I mean Grandpa Wenang is not really where..!?" Ask Ontoseno.

"I'm not answering now. Come on, you come along and follow me. You'll know for yourself...!" Obviously Sanghyang Wenang, and Ontoseno did not ask anymore.

Having considered enough to speak why and why the behavior of the gods must be corrected. First, Sanghyang Wenang was his father Sanghyang Tunggal.

Sanghyang Tunggal is a god who first ruled (mastering) "Triloka". The Triloka is the first nature of the Gods. The two realms of jinn, demons and Danyang heaven. The third is human nature.
