Jayadrata - (Prabu) - Mahabharata
ARYA JAYADRATA's real name is Arya Tirtanata or Bambang Sagara. Arya Tirtanata was then crowned king of the Sindu country, and had the title Prabu Sinduraja. Because he wanted to deepen his knowledge in the field of governance and statecraft, Prabu Sinduraja went to the country of Astina to study with Prabu Pandu Dewanata. To maintain his honor and self-respect, he changed his name to that of his patih, Jayadrata. In Astina's country, Jayadrata met the Kurawa family, and was finally taken as Prabu Drestarasta's son-in-law, married to Dewi Dursilawati and appointed Duke of Buanakeling. From this marriage he had two sons named; Arya Virata and Arya Surata.
Jayadratha has character traits; brave, earnest and loyal. Arya Jayadrata was skilled in using arrows and very expert in playing mace.
By Resi Sapwani he was given a mace heirloom called Kyai Glinggang. Jayadratha was killed by Arjuna on the battlefield of Bharatayuda as the commander of the Kurawa war. His head was severed from his body by Pasopati's magic arrow.
Raden Jayadrata Raden Jayadrata is the idol of Begawan Sapwaniwijawastra from Banakeling country and comes from Raden Bratasena's baby wrap. When he was born, Raden Bratasena was wrapped in his baby wrap. After Raden Bratasena came out of his package, the God threw the package away and fell in the country of Banakeling. The baby's bundle was taken by Begawan Sapwani, adored and turned into a boy whom he named Jayadratha and also Ksatria Banakeling. When he was an adult, Jayadrata wanted to serve the king and on Sapwani's instructions, Jayadrata was advised to serve Raden Bratasena, the second Pendawa and it was also explained to him that Bratasena was his brother. On his way to get Bratasena, Jayadrata met Patih Sakuni to persuade him to serve King Astina, a king of a large and rich country and Sakuni also promised to make Jayadrata a great servant and to marry him to Dewi Dursilawati, Prabu Suyudana's sister. Sakuni's persuasion was a clever ruse, because in Jayadrata's gallantry and good looks he saw a possibility in the future to appoint Jayadrata as an Astina hero in facing the Pendawa in the future. All of Sakuni's plans came true. Jayadrata became a great leader, married Suyudana's sister, Dewi Dursilawati and was given great power with the title of great knight. The Astina government thus obtained a warrior to be submitted later in the Baratayuda war. Raden Jayadrata looks similar to Raden Wrekodara and Raden Gatotkaca. Remembering the romance of his face and remembering his origins, Jayadrata is actually, when viewed from a spiritual point of view, closer to Pendawa than Astina. In the Baratayuda war, Jayadratha was worshiped secretly by Sapwani, to win the war. In this connection, Arjuna said, "If today I cannot kill Jayadratha, I will commit suicide by burning myself." This speech was heard by Sapwani. Then Jayadratha was well hidden. But when the time came for Arjuna to commit suicide, he stalked Jayadratha from his hiding place. His actions were discovered by King Krishna and on his orders, Arjuna released his arrow, hitting Jayadratha, breaking his neck. By Arjuna Jayadratha's head was thrown in front of the worshiping Sapwani. Jayadrata has wide eyes, a pointed nose, and a slightly bowed face. Such a face shows a bravery. Hair in a bun. Berjamgan three stacks with eagles facing back. Prada Ringing, popping, and curling. Full royal cloth and cindai pants.
