Dentawilukrama – (Raden) – All stories

It can be said that the character of Dentawilukrama is one of the cross-era characters, because when the Parta Krama play was played, he came out and helped lend one of the requirements for Bale Saka Domas to Janoko.

At the time of the Alengka war, the country of Alengka was invaded by the monkey army of Prabu Ramawijaya under the leadership of Narpati Sugriwa, the monkey king of the Gowa Kiskenda kingdom, Dentawilukrama was still small. He lived with his mother, Dewi Triwati in the Antarapura palace.

After the great war of Alengka ended, Sri Ramawijaya was reluctant to ascend to the throne of Alengka.
Dentawilukrama’s father, Gunawan Wibisana was the next king to be appointed to succeed Prabu Dasamuka in Lanka. Wibisana was crowned king of the country of Alengka. Because the kingdom had collapsed, the center of government was moved to Singgelapura. Then the country of Lanka was renamed Singgelapura. Dentawilukrama was appointed as the crown prince of the Singgelapura kingdom.

However, Prabu Wibisana did not rule his country for long. After Prabu Wibisana stepped down from the reign of government and lived as a brahmana, the leadership of the government was handed over to his son, Raden Dentawilukrama, who became the king of the country of Singgelapura with the title Prabu Bisawarna.

Prabu Bisawarna inherited the royal ceremony/keprabon (Javanese) heirlooms left by Sri Ramawijaya.
The first is the Balai Kencana Saka Domas which is the hall of Sri Rama when he was enthroned in Suwelagiri. This hall was made of gold with 800 pillars.
In addition, he also inherited a chariot named Jatasura riding a yaksa/giant, which is Sri Rama's chariot during the war against Prabu Dasamuka. Both heirlooms were once borrowed by the Pandavas during Arjuna's marriage to Dewi Sumbadra.

Prabu Bisawarna lived a long life, living until the Mahabharata era (Pandawa-Kurawa). His body was buried on Mount Kutarunggu. Next to the tombs of Prabu Rama, Laksmana and Arya Wibisana.
