Pancawala - (Raden) - Mahabharata

Pancawala's role in the Mahabharata when compared to other Pandava sons is indeed small. However, Pratiwindya, son of Yudhistira, succeeded in killing Dursasanaputera who ended Abimanyu's life in the great war at Kurukhsetra.

In the Baratayuda war he was killed by Ashwatthama while he was sleeping. So Pancawala's mother cried because she regretted that she had not died in the war, while the Baratayuda War was going on at that time.
After the war ended, Aswatama, who was on the Korawa side, infiltrated the Pandava camp. In the camp, Ashwatthama killed Drestadyumna, the prince of the Pancala kingdom. He found five men asleep, thinking that the five were Pandavas, Ashwatama immediately killed them. Ashwatama also killed Srikandi, one of Arjuna's wives.
It turned out that the five people killed by Aswatama while sleeping were not Pandavas but Pancawala. In wayang, especially Javanese wayang, Pancawala is not five people, but only one person, namely the son of Yudhistira and Drupadi.
