The Ancestral Country
The decisiveness of Maharaja Galuh Pakuan

**

The panditas and Rishis chant the spells of Lord Shiva. A fragrant smell emanates from the puff of incense smoke that is burned. Setanggi also spread fragrant smoke around the ceremony site.

Various fragrant flowers such as roses, jasmine, and keeps are sprinkled by palace ladies on a pair of brides who sit wearing white cloth and sumping frangipani flowers on the left ear.

Dang Acharya ring Kasaiwan or Shiva Religious Authority Office Kawali palace continues to move his hand which holds a small bell while saying a prayer mantra. The small bell clinking adds to the sacred atmosphere in the wedding ceremony.

Stand off..

Stand off..

Prabu Darmaraja accompanied by the consort of Dewi Manikmaya and his four concubines looked tense following the ceremony.5 sons and daughters of concubines accompanied the King Galuh Pakuan. Prince Langlangbumi, the crown prince of Galuh Pakuan kingdom was also present with his wife and son. Desi Buyut Gunung Galunggung prayed fervently to recite the mantra puja, accompanied by dozens of students of Galunggung Mountain School.

Dozens of high-ranking palace officials were seen sitting behind the ranks of Prabu Darmaraja and his family. Several dukes were seen present at the wedding ceremony.

Dang Acharya ring Kasaiwan then stood up, taking the holy water that has been prayed for by brahmins, hermits and pandit. With a single leaf, she splashed the holy water while surrounding the Watugunung Panji and Dewi Naganingrum who sat side by side while cupping her hands in front of her chest.

After the ritual, Panji Watugunung and Dewi Naganingrum then stand towards the pamujan sanggar as the end of their wedding ceremony ritual. They bowed to the Linga of Yoni as a sign of submission to the will of Shiva.

Then the two of them immediately headed in front of Prabu Darmaraja and kowtowed for the blessing of marriage. Prabu Darmaraja immediately raised the hands of the two men. After standing upright, Prabu Darmaraja took a white chalk grass and then with three fingers smeared the forehead of Panji Watugunung and Dewi Naganingrum.

After that with haru, she hugged the body of the youngest daughter and her daughter-in-law immediately.

A standing ovation marked the end of the wedding ceremony of youngest daughter Prabu Darmaraja, Dewi Naganingrum with the young man from Panjalu, Panji Watugunung.

Music and dance entertainment enliven the events of the day.

Various specialties of Kawali palace served on the dining table.

"Congratulations on your marriage, my student. Now you really find the perfect husband figure as you expect" said Gunung Galunggung Buyut Resi with a smile as he approached Dewi Naganingrum and Panji Watugunung.

"Guru embarrassed me,

Oh yes where is the gift that the teacher promised me?", asked Dewi Naganingrum who was a little spoiled to her teacher who she had considered her own grandfather.

Gunung Galunggung Buyut Rishi smiled knot then reached into his pocket and took out a bright red stone.

"Is this a teacher? Kog red colored stone?", asked Dewi Naganingrum curious. The banner of Watugunung sitting beside him only glanced briefly at the stone in the hands of Goddess Naganingrum then he turned his head again.

"That's a red pomegranate stone. Wear it as a necklace. It will protect you from the vile attack of magic" said Gunung Galunggung's Buyut Resi while stroking the head of Goddess Naganingrum.

The three concubines of Watugunung Panji just stared at the Watugunung Panji sitting side by side at the pelaminan. Seen Sekar Mayang's unhappy face. While Ratna Pitaloka and Dewi Srimpi look ordinary.

Trajutrisna who never enjoyed food from the palace, so eager to try various types of cuisine served.

"Valley,

Let's eat as much" said Trajutrisna while holding a plate that was full of various side dishes. There's hardly any place to put any more side dishes.

"You just eat. Seeing the way you ate, I was instantly full" Lawana replied as she moved away. He was ashamed of Trajutrisna.

"Huh the haughty base..

Antos seagrass famine, rasakeun sapak balukarna", grumbled Trajutrisna while grabbing chicken thighs then piled on his plate.

By late afternoon, Tumenggung Rumpaksana reached Kawali after traveling almost 2 days 1 night without stopping.

Seeing the atmosphere in the city of Kawali which is like a new celebration, there are some questions that cross the mind of Tumenggung Rumpaksana. Moreover, the curved yellow janur penjor looks like the one in use for weddings.

In front of the gates of the King's palace, the soldiers still wore frangipani flower sumping as a sign they were still in an event atmosphere. Soon Tumenggung Rumpaksana came down from his horse followed by his followers.

"Combined, though,

I am the messenger of Paguhan. Want to meet with Gusti Prabu Darmaraja", said Tumenggung Rumpaksana while showing a silver badge with a flower display on the guard soldiers of the palace gate.

The palace gate guard soldier immediately whispered to his comrade, after his friend nodded, he said firmly.

"You wait here, I'll ask Gusti Prabu Darmaraja if he's willing to accept guests at this time".

After saying that, the soldier ran into the Kawali palace.

In the king's private room, Prabu Darmaraja was sitting together with Gunung Galunggung Buyut Resi, Pangeran Langlangbumi, Patih Ranawijaya, Patu Watugunung Panji and Dewi Naganingrum when the guard soldiers entered.

"Please forgive Gusti Prabu,

A messenger from Paguhan wants to meet", said the soldier after worshiping Prabu Darmaraja.

Hmmmm

"Please him in" said Prabu Darmaraja immediately.

Not long later, Tumenggung Rumpaksana accompanied by 2 bekel soldiers into the king's private room ushered in the guard soldiers.

Tumenggung Rumpaksana worshiped, then sat cross-legged on the floor of the porch of the king's private room.

"Please forgive Gusti Prabu,

Servant of Rumpaksana, butenggung from Paguhan. Want to organize this newsletter for Gusti Prabu", said Tumenggung Rumpaksana while raising the newsletter with both hands. Patih Ranawijaya immediately stood up from his seat and took the letter and handed it to Prabu Darmaraja.

Then quickly, Prabu Darmaraja read the letter from the lontar leaf. His face shrunk for a moment.

"What does it mean that Gandakusuma sent a message like this Tumenggung Rumpaksana?", asked the Emperor Galuh Pakuan as he stared intently at Tumenggung Rumpaksana.

"The delegation needs help from Galuh Pakuan, Gusti Prabu to realize the ideals of becoming an independent country.

Paguhan's resources have been destroyed by Kalingga. So if Daha invaded Paguhan, then surely we will not last long" said Tumenggung Rumpaksana while worshiping. The young man looked very strong with his mustache and thick sideburns.

"Listen to the messenger from Paguhan.

Your territory is a territory that has been in line since the king before I became the territory of Daha. Paguhan's business is not Galuh Pakuan's business even though Gandakusuma is my distant brother.

Especially now, Galuh also has a kinship with Daha, so we will not choose to help one of them" said the Prabu Darmaraja firmly.

"What does it mean to have a kinship with Daha Gusti Prabu?", asked Tumenggung Rumpaksana curiously.

The Emperor Galuh Pakuan immediately smiled.

The young man immediately turned his head towards Panji Watugunung. In his heart he was upset because his trip to Galuh Pakuan was in vain because of the young man.

"I will pass this news on to Gusti Gandakusuma.

Slave beg yourself Gusti Prabu", said Tumenggung Rumpaksana while worshiping to Prabu Darmaraja then retreat from the portico of the king's private room.

That night Panji Watugunung spent the night in a special saung for them at Puri Keputran Kawali accompanied by Dewi Naganingrum.

Morning to the Kawali Palace.

After getting ready, Patugunung Panji and Dewi Naganingrum immediately prostrated to Prabu Darmaraja and Dewi Manikmaya to say goodbye.

"Mountain, man,

I'll leave my beloved daughter to take care of her like you're looking after your own body.

If until I hear you make my daughter suffer, I do not hesitate to hit the war drums against Panjalu to beat you", said the Emperor Galuh Pakuan quickly.

"Ayahanda Prabu Darmaraja has nothing to worry about,

I'll take care of Dinda Naganingrum like I'm keeping my earlobes. Watugunung please say goodbye, please pray the blessing of the father", Patugunung Panji immediately worship to Prabu Darmaraja and Dewi Manikmaya.

The group of Panji Watugunung which increased by one person, left the Kawali palace towards the Duchy of Madangkara in the south.

Daha's army moved quickly towards Kalingga. After a week of traveling, they reached the border of Lasem and Kalingga.

After camping on the small riverbank last night, they began to dismantle the tent to prepare to continue the journey.

Warigalit stood beside the bank of a small river, staring into the western sky. His long hair fluttered in the wind of the valley. Senopati Narapraja is approaching her.

"Brother Warigalit,

What do you think?", said Senopati Narapraja while looking at Warigalit's face.

"Sorry Gusti Senopati,

I am worried about Dhimas Panji Watugunung. I heard the kulon area is full of magic swordsmen", Warigalit let out a long sigh.

"But I believe in Gusti Prince, Warigalit's brother. Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung is not a swordsman who is easy to lose.

It is very difficult to find a figure that is able to match his canuragan ability" said Senopati Narapraja while patting Warigalit's shoulder.

"I know that, Gusti Senopati", replied Warigalit with a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Gumbreg, who was tasked with leading the supply team with a waistline, shouted loudly.

"Let's hurry, we don't have much time.

Don't relax too much".

All of the Daha warriors tried as quickly as possible to pack their tents and cookware into the horse carriage.

"Enak once you play orders, you should help them Mbreg" said Ludaka who stood next to his friend.

"Woo yes obviously, so the leader is like this. Play show business is in order. Dashing and dignified", Gumbreg clapped his palms while smiling meaningfully.

"Thankfully they don't know. If they find out, they will not be afraid of you anymore", Ludaka shook his head.

"You know what Lu is?", Gumbreg turned to Ludaka.

"Yes know that the leader is a husband afraid of his wife.

A moment to sleep outside the house because he was silent his wife" Ludaka said as he stepped away.

Gumbreg glared at Ludaka.

"Review if your mouth is a bucket"
