The beautiful dancers … babo … is sitting down, getting ready in silence Waiting for the story to start Once upon a time, this is the wayang wong performance arranged in a string of beautiful words, the story of Jumenengan Prabu Kalithi (Ascension to the Throne of Prabu Kalithi), written by Kawedanan Hageng Punakawan Kridhomardowo, Karaton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat. This story inspired by an advice from the king in Serat Lenggahing Harjuna, Yasan Dalem Ngarsa Dalem, Sampeyan Dalem Ingkang Sinuwun Sri Sultan Hamengku Bawana 10 Suryaning Mataram Senapati Ingalaga Langgenging Bawana Langgeng Langgenging Tata Panatagama in Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat. Without further ado, the story starts with Sang Hyang Jagad Girinata, who is willing to attend a meetings with the deities.
As it is seen, Jonggringsalaka looks like covered with cloudy clouds.
Hong ilaheng, hong ilaheng awignam astu nama sidhem Here is the time when Sang Hyang Jagad Pratingkah, agreed to attend a meeting in Kahyangan Jonggringsalaka, accompanied by the angels. Sang Hyang Kanekaputra had made his presence at where the meeting take place, with the deities. Sang Hyang Girinata was thinking about what had caused chaos in the world. He ascended to the realm of the deities. That way Sang Hyang Pramesthi Guru was pleased to give his glorious words.
Hawigena mastuhu nama sidhem, Sang Hyang Jagadnata, was pleased to welcome the deities.
They all stood before him, how delicate it was, the country of Jonggringsalaka. Kakang Narada I welcome your presence Thank you, my majesty, for you corteus welcome. Dear deities, is everyone fine and well? O hok, yes Adhi Guru, the deities are all fine and well, nothing less.
Well, thank goodness then. Kakang Narada, who is probably among the deities who create this massive and destructive chaos? Yes, Adhi Guru, who else if not Ananda Parta, who was a hermit in Indrakila with the name Begawan Suciptaning Mintaraga. Is that true, Kakang Narada? That’s right, Adhi Guru.
While they were having conversations, Sang Hyang Bathara Sambu suddenly came, hurriedly he came to his father, without greeting. Sang Hyang Sambu performed a homage to his father Jagadnata, how joyous Batara was. Hong, hyang-hyang, This is my son, Sambu he who came before me in haste. Hong, nirdah pinara sabda, Sang Hyang Bathara Guru, I was the one who came in haste. My son, Sambu, what made you come to me in such a pitiful demeanor?
Please forgive me, My Majesty. I was in the repat kepanasan, when Prabu Niwatakawaca arrived, With his heirloom weapons and troops, he was ready to attack.
They demanded Bathari Supraba be given to them. Hong bawana langgeng, Kakang Narada, the heaven is in danger, what if I give the weapon of Pasopati to ananda Parta Resi who is in the hermitage? Hong, nirdah pinara sabda, ananda Parta is the righteous mainstay of deities, therefore, he must be willing to accept the weapon of Kyai Pasopati.
Hong nirdah pinara sabda pukulun, I, Bathara Surya disagree if ananda Harjuna accepts Pasopati. Those who deserve to receive Pasopati are those who are called true knights.
Hong bawana langgeng, Kakang Narada, and the deities, what do you think? Hong nirdah pinara sabda ananda Harjuna deserves to receive Kyai Pasopati, because he has seven inherited weapons. The first keris Kyai Pulanggeni, which has the power of true light, so that ananda Harjuna will always remember and be alert.
Hong nirdah pinara sabda, Bathara Endra wishes to speak Ananda Harjuna inherited the arrow of Kyai Sarotama, which keeps him away from danger and remove all obstacles. My father Bathara Guru, ananda Harjuna has the arrow of Kyai Hagnirastra’s legacy, which carries the purity of manners and soul, capable of removing all lusts and removing the wrath. Sang Hyang Bathara Guru, Ananda Harjuna has the keris inherited from Kyai Kalamisani, which gives power of immortality and avoid danger. Sang Hyang Pramesthi Bathara Guru, ananda Harjuna has the keris heirloom of Kyai Kalanadah, which contains the power of compassion, truth, and sincerity, that melts envy, and brings joy. My fatherís teacher, ananda Harjuna had the arrow of Kyai Ardhadhedaliís legacy, which is powerful and bestow the blessing for safety.
Hong nirdah pinara sabda, ananda Harjuna has a keris heirloom Kyai Lar Ngantap. As for his power, he is able to make one careful and alert.
Hong bawana langgeng, Kakang Narada and the deities, I have heard of the excellence of ananda Harjuna. He deserves to receive the legacy of Kyai Pasopati, which means that human beings have been allowed to wield their power. Come on, immediately hand over the Pasopati’s inheritance to Ananda Harjuna.
Your Majesty, a true knight who is worthy of receiving Pasopati’s weapon must face trials, by being tested through various temptations. Hong nirdah pinara said, Sang Hyang Pikulun Pramesthi Bathara Guru, I, Bathari Supraba, wanted to seduce and test Begawan Suciptaning, but his tapa brata was too tough and strong. Hong nirdah pinara sabda, my majesty, so did I disguised as Resi Padya, as I wanted to test the strength of the Suciptaning, but I was failed.
Adinda Bathara Endra, Suciptaning is in the hermitage carrying a weapon a sign that she has desire for worldly things. Hong kakanda Bathara Surya, ananda Suciptaning carried weapons, that means he was always vigilant in battle, Hong bawana langgeng, Kakang Narada, I asked you to escort me to the hermitage of Indrakila, to test Suciptaning.
If he passes the test then he deserves to be the mainstay of the gods. O hok, alright Adhi Guru, I fulfill the request of Adhi Guru. As for the deities, prepare to fight against the attack of King Niwatakawaca’s troops. Yes, Your Majesty (Bathara Narada: Yes, Adhi Guru) Turning from those who are on their way to Prabu Niwatakawaca, king of Ima-imantaka, who is now sitting before his followers and relatives, while waiting for the arrival of Ditya Mamangmurka who is sent to propose the Dewi Supraba.
If you look, it seems that King Niwatakawaca is worried.
Oh adinda, dinda, adinda Dewi Supraba, when did you come to the land of Ima-imantaka, I will lift you up, oh my dear, my beloved woman, come with me I will take care of you … pak empong ngambung bokong, I am sorry, my lord. don’t let your majesty be too crazy about women.

Arrows were shot, along with the keys Dyan Suciptaning. Tas… tas.
. an arrow stuck in the boar’s back, killing him instantly. Who is this hermit? How dare he took my arrow from the back of the boar. I’m Begawan Mintaraga.

.. Once upon a time, in the Kahyangan of Manikantaya. The wives of Harjuna united their souls and bodies with the angels, adding to the vibrancy of Raden Harjuna’s mind, heart, and desire of Raden Harjuna. When seen from afar, they resemble a garden of flower.
