Kangsadewa is actually the son of Gorawangsa, the giant king of the Gowabarong country who transformed into Prabu Basudewa and succeeded in having an affair with Dewi Mahira/Maerah (Java), the consort of Prabu Basudewa, king of Mandura. After adolescence, by Suratrimantra, Kangsa was taken to the country of Mandura to claim his rights as the son of Prabu Basudewa. Because he was very powerful, Prabu Basudewa was finally ready to acknowledge Kangsa as his son and was given the position of Duke in the Sengkapura Knighthood. |
