Pandu - (Prabu - Raden) - Mahabharata
Prabu Pandu did not reign in Astina for long, because the Gods considered him to have made a big mistake. Pandu's hobby is hunting in the forest. One time he mistakenly killed two deer which were the creation of a priest and his wife.
This confusion caused the wrath of the Gods. Pandu was taken by the Gods and with his rough body was thrown into the Candramimuka Crater (Hell). But by using Begawan Abyasa followed and asked Pandu with the intention of bringing him back to the world. His request was not granted, but Pandu was taken to Heaven and made a God.
Prabu Pandudewanata has squinty eyes, a pointed nose, a tight mouth, a curly lizard bun, and a waderan haircut. Mentioned in the story, Pandu was crippled in the neck. Long necklaces, bracelets, pomto and kroncong.
