Maesasura - (Prabu) - All stories
Because he felt very powerful, Prabu Maesasura came to Kahyangan Kaindran to propose to Dewi Tara, the eldest daughter of Bathara Indra with Dewi Wiyati. If his proposal was rejected, Prabu Maesasura and Jatasura threatened to destroy Kahyangan Keindran with all his very strong troops. Bathara Indra then asked for help from Subali and Sugriwa, both sons of Resi Gotama with Dewi Indradi from the Grastina/Erraya hermitage, to face and kill Prabu Maesasura, Jatasura and Lembusura.
Prabu Maesasura and Jatasura were finally destroyed by Subali who challenged them to enter Gowa Kiskenda. Maesasura and Jatasura's heads were pitted against each other until they broke and died instantly at the same time. While the prime minister of Lembusura was destroyed by Sugriwa.
The story of the glory and fall of King Maesasura provides lessons about power, arrogance, and punishment for evil actions. This legend also highlights the power of brotherhood and friendship in the face of difficult challenges. Even though it has ended, the story of Prabu Maesasura will continue to be remembered as part of the rich cultural heritage and oral tradition in the archipelago.
