Silence Cupu, It's the Queen
Chapter 27 Dinasty Grandpa Sanjaya, Rakai Garung
The grand wedding of the two largest dynasties will be held in two sessions...
In accordance with the agreement between Maharaja Samaratungga and Rakai Pikatan that the first wedding session will be conducted according to the customs of the dynasty Syailendra or the bride.
Because Rakai Pikatan is a nomad who does not have relatives or relatives in Java, then Rakai Pikatan will get a guardian from traditional elders .
But Rakai Pikatan wants to choose for himself who is his guardian. Of course Rakai Pikatan will choose the elders from the descendants of the Sanjaya dynasty. After the agreement, the guardian of Rakai Pikatan will stay at the palace until the wedding procession is completed.
The guardian of Rakai Pikatan is named Rakai Garung.
Rakai Garung is an elder in one of the Pikatan (Temanggung) regions. Rakai Garung was a king of the Sanjaya dynasty, before the turn of the era of power.
Rakai Garung has a sepuh stature with hair curled, has a long beard in white, always carrying a sign (long stick) in the left hand.
What an embodiment of a hermit full of a high aura of authority.
***
Rakai Garung was surprised when some of the palace soldiers visited his small hut in the forest.
"Where do you know this place ?" rakai Garung said to one of the soldiers.
"Unfortunately, we are just messengers sent by the Emperor Samaratungga." replied one of the soldiers who looked like his chief.
"Samaratungga.." murmured Rakai Garung.
"Tell your King, I don't want to be bothered by anyone, go !!" said Rakai garung fierce.
"Even the cake, we only carry out the orders of the king of Samaratungga.." The soldiers pay homage to the old man .
The soldiers returned to the palace empty-handed.
***
After hearing the reports from the soldiers, Gusti Samaratungga decided to meet his ascetic brother directly
"Sorry Gusti maharaja.preferably do not go there " said Rakai Pikatan when meeting the Maharaja samaratungga in the palace pendopo.
"But the ascetic will not go down my son's mountain" said the Maharaja of Samaratungga
"If the wrestling Maharaja allows his own servants to go there." said rakai pictatan.
"Where may my son, you are in the traditional ritual before the wedding, may not go out the gate !!" maharaja samaratungga said firmly.
***
"How can the marriage take place if I can't bring Rakai garung as my guardian.." Rakai Pikatan muttered thoughtfully in his room.
For a moment, he seemed to think hard and then smile..
"I will visit Rakai Garung's grandfather." muttered Rakai Pikatan excitedly.
***
Towards midnight, when the atmosphere outside the room feels quiet, Rakai Pikatan do "song of soul" (soul that comes out temporarily from his body) .
Because Kanuragan knowledge owned by Rakai Pikatan has been at a very high level, then he can do the process of sukma raga easily.
But that does not mean Rakai Pikatan can linger long to do Raga sukma, because there is a certain time limit for one spiritual journey.

Forest at the mountain near Pikatan (Temanggung)
"by swastyastu.." Rakai Pikatan was standing in front of Rakai Garung's humble hut.
Not yet seen the movement from within, repeated the greeting several times and again waited patiently.
***
krreek...
The creaking sound of the wooden door opened, The figure of the grandfather he was looking for appeared.
For a moment the view of both was locked.
"Garung Grandpa." said Rakai Pikatan about to hug.
"Cucuku .." said Rakai Garung welcomed Rakai Pikatan's embrace.
grandson \= descendants of the same adherents
(Rakai Pikatan and Rakai Garing no blood relation )
The two of them hugged while channeling an unspoken longing .
"Sit down nice..." Rakai Garung invited Rakai Pikatan to sit on the porch of his hut.
" Nobody knew who I really was..." Rakai Garung started the conversation.
"A long time ago, maybe decades ago I decided to become a hermit here.."
"No one knows me, I live only to wait for death..." Although it is more than a hundred years old, but Rakai Garung still looks handsome.
"I looked for information from various cake sources, indeed no one knew where grandfather was." said Rakai Pikatan.
"But thanks to the help of the Queen's mother, I was finally able to find my surviving dynasty line in the land of Java, namely you Garung grandfather..." rakai Pikatan explained how he met the queen mother kanjeng segara kidul with his future wife.

The flash back
when Rakai Pikatan visited the palace segara kidul with Dyah Pramodhawardani.
(can re-read the chapter about immediately kidul if curious yak reader 🙏)
When Dyah Pramodhawardani was busy enjoying the atmosphere of the garden of a small gazebo located between the expanse of flower gardens, Rakai Pikatan was talking four eyes with Queen's mother segara kidul.
"Ngger cah good.. what you are looking for is still in the land of Java, " said Kanjeng the Queen's mother as if she knew what the direction of this conversation.
"The Queen's mother has searched all over the country but no, there is no information that helps me find the Sanjaya dynasty line as I mean it" said Rakai Pikatan.
"Of course, it's been a very long time, even before you were born, Rakai Garung handed over the power of the marcapada to your future Father-in-law"
"At that time, Rakai Garung did not want bloodshed in the land of Java, especially the palace where he lived"
"Hamba will avenge the dynasty ancestor Sanjaya the queen mother.." Rakai Pikatan held back the anger
"Sareh ngger's.."
(Patience/ quiet son) said the queen mother
"Rakai Garung and your future Father-in-law, both agreed to take the path of peace, will not succeed if you use the determination of revenge to master two dynasties" said the queen mother
"Sailendra dynasty is a sacred school, they are protected by bodhisattvas (sacred spirits of the buddhas). Under Samaratungga's rule all felt justice and prosperity without exception, "the queen mother explained in truth
" the dynasty of Syailendra which is currently in full power in Java has a very noble grand nature, the kings and their descendants get the title sri kaluhunan (a higher official (King or Queen) who is fair and wise) by all the people and the previous Javanese landlords (King raja moksa.) " the Queen Mother hoped that Rakai Pikatan would understand.
"Do you still have the heart to take revenge, if I say that your future wife Dyah Pramodhawardani is the only child of Dewi shana who is the only daughter of Rakai Garung ??" the words of Queen's mother surprised Rakai Pikatan.
"WHAT ??" said Rakai Pikatan surprised not playing
"Yes ngger cah Bagus... Dyah Pramodhawardani is a sacred descendant of the sanjaya and Syailendra dynasties.."
"Then will your conscience bear, hurt a very beautiful and noble girl of dynasty pride, the only candidate Maharatu in the land of Java ?"
"Honestly, the Queen Mother, the heart of the servant was already shaken when she first met the crown princess, she grew very well and was always wise in deciding anything, she said, from a little princess to a candidate for Maharatu dinasty.." finally Rakai Pikatan admitted the feeling that he had been quieting
"What you feel is the form of compassion from the single hyang ngger.the more you reject the sense that it will grow in your heart.. Accept it freely, welcome the feeling." said the Queen mother.
"But will the goal of the servant still be achieved even if it does not take revenge ??" Rakai Pikatan is still a gamang
"Your goal will be achieved good, You and your wife will be the leaders of the two largest dynasties in Java, Maharaja Rakai Pikatan and Maharatu Pramodhawardani, respectively, a couple who will be legendary all the time for successfully uniting two dynasties. Your story will live until the end of time, a true love story that is sincere despite the differences, you will be united forever, she said, will bond with each other in life after reincarnation you will always meet and be a married couple, you will fix each other's karma until the last reincarnation life you must succeed in order to live eternally in the realm of permanence with the ancestors of other Javanese land ancestors." long speech from the Queen's mother really breaks down the hatred in Rakai Pikatan.
(reincarnation 7 times after death)
***
Hearing the explanation from the Queen Mother immediately kidul make Rakai Pikatan's ego soften..
Suddenly Rakai Pikatan wants to change the purpose of his life, who initially wants revenge by reclaiming the Syailendra dynasty and will uphold the banner of Sanjaya dynasty, revenge without bringing feelings and conscience
Slowly now wants to achieve his goal but by mixing compassion in it, Rakai Pikatan wants to unite the two dynasties without having to destroy one of them. He will make a story of the legendary struggle of life with his wife, Dyah Pramodhawardani.
When talking four eyes with the Queen's mother immediately, occasionally Rakai Pikatan stared in admiration at Dyah Pramodhawardani who looked very complete charm.
***
In addition to the talk about Rakai Garung, Rakai Pikatan and Queen's mother immediately also discussed the construction of the temple after the wedding.
(there's in the chapter about the soon-to-be-kidul)
About the reinforcements promised by the Queen's mother segara kidul in the process of building the Sanjaya dynasty temple. Starting from the supply of raw materials, especially adesite rocks, supernatural human power that blends with the people's power, experts who will help make sculptures (reliefs) on every temple building that is established, which will help make the temple,
Of course, the experts in question are the incarnation of special occult forces from the palace of all the kidul that have existed since life before humans (they are immortal beings who witnessed all the events in the universe).
So it is not difficult if you have to make reliefs about the story of Ramayana to Mahabharata, even reliefs of the incarnation of the gods can be completed in detail.
There is one special temple built to honor the difference of two dynasties after the marriage of Rakai Pikatan and Dyah Pramodhawardani, namely Candi Mendut.
Candi Mendut is the only Syailendra dynasty temple that stands firmly and majestically between the rows of temples built by Rakai Pikatan and his team.
As a form of tolerance differences between Hindu and Buddhist religions that coexist, in Mendut temple there is a statue of the figure of Adhi Buddha (a figure who managed to achieve perfection after passing through many reincarnations) the most sacred and sublime main Buddha. Adhi buddha is the one who takes care of Syailendra dynasty invisible.
Adhi Buddhists also occupy the highest and largest stupa in the bumishambara,

flashback off
"So Garung's grandfather, please accompany your grandson in the wedding of two dynasties." said Rakai Pikatan.
"I feel the firmness of your heart my grandson, and as the dynasty grandpa Sanjaya I am willing.." Rakai Garung accepts the request of his handsome grandson hehe..
"Now go home ngger, you have been making a lot of money for too long, tomorrow morning I will be present at the palace, I promise on behalf of the two dynasties !" Rakai Garung assures Rakai Pikatan that everything will be fine, he will be present as the guardian of the groom.
"Take the salute of your grandson, Garung's grandfather.." Rakai Pikatan bowed respectfully and touched the soles of Rakai garung's feet and placed his hands on his own forehead,
(So like indirectly kissing both soles of Rakai Garung's feet)
***
Rakai Pikatan returned safely, just after midnight when his soul re-entered the body he had left in a meditative position.
After successfully regaining consciousness, Rakai Pikatan immediately came down from the bamboo cot in his room room, which was, then walking out was about to take the holy water that flowed through the small bamboo pipe that was in the room next to his room.
Releasing thirst after a fairly draining spiritual journey, it feels like a dry hot desert then doused with cool, rainy water,
Rakai Pikatan then also washed his face with running water, rubbed flat to the sweet potato, continued to wash the left ear then the right then the nose, then lastly Rakai Pikatan washed both hands and feet.
This is usually done by Rakai Pikatan to purify the body when going to pray (praying to worship his lord, namely mahadewa and adhi shakti.)
now it is called Wudhlu
***
either because of groggy or there are many things thought, Rakai Pikatan can not sleep until the wedding day.
Throughout the night Rakai Pikatan will use to avoid the ancestors
(getting closer to the ancestors)
He asked for his blessing for every step he took,
emoh wrong emoh wirang
(does not want to be wrong and does not want to be disappointed)
sak obah polah muna music muni tansah pinaringan selamet karaharjan sarimbit ing sambikala.
(All mannerisms and sayings are always given salvation and are in harmony in everything that is in the heart and soul of the body)
more or less so it means ..
