KING DRUPADA
Raden Sucitra came from Atasangin (opposite) and came to Cempalareja. At that time, the king of Cempalareja, Prabu Gandabayu, held a duel against Gandamana with an agreement that whoever could defeat Gandamana would be rewarded with the daughter of Prabu Gandabayu named Dewi Gandawati.
Raden Sucitra entered the arena and a very busy battle of strength broke out. After Sucitra was almost defeated by Gandamana, Pandu came to help with his supernatural powers, until Gandamana lost.
Sucitra got the promised daughter and he was appointed as the young king in Cempalareja with the title Prabu Anom Drupada. Then he was enthroned as king in Cempalareja.
Raden Sucitra has slanted eyes, a pointed nose and mouth and a moustache. With a braided bun, with an eagle on its back, with kembang kluwih, with a crescent moon necklace or also called putran (knight) necklace, with bracelets, pontoh and wearing full royal cloth.
Prabu Drupada (Sucitra) settled in Java as king in Cempalareja. His face is calm and painted black. Coiled with rivets, decorated with eagles on the back and decorated with flower kluwih. Ringing, popping and curling. Long necklace (long necklace). Complete royal butt cloth. He is considered a native Javanese and comes from Java. Then the descendants of Drupada mixed with the descendants of Pendawa, Drupada's oldest daughter, Dewi Draupadi was consorted by King Yudistira and the second daughter, Dewi Wara Srikandi, was married by Raden Arjuna.
Because of this familial relationship, King Drupada was classified as siding with the Pandavas. In the Bartayuda war, the King and his relatives sacrificed on the Pendawa side.
The descendant of Prabu Drupada and Yudistira was named Raden Pancawala, a heroic knight in the Baratayuda war. The other son is a daughter and is named Dewi Wara Srikandi, mentioned above.
Goddess Srikandi married Arjuna and asked honestly to repair Maerakaca Park which had been damaged overnight. This request can be implemented,
Once upon a time, Prabu Drupada accepted the proposal of Prabu Jungkungmardea, king of the Paranggubarja country, for his daughter, Dewi Wara Srikandi. Tempted by the glory of this king, Drupada wanted to take Jungkungmardea as his son-in-law. After Srikandi found out about Ramanda's desire, she came to Arjuna to ask for his protection. In the war that took place between Arjuna and Jungkungmardea, the latter was killed by Arjuna.
Raden Arjuna's defense of the Goddess Srikandi is actually nothing other than a defense because of sedumuk bathuk, a metaphor for fighting over women. At that time (purwa) knights fighting over princesses was considered a noble deed that could add to the reputation of a knight. Such an act is not considered something despicable, because it is done at the risk of one's life.

PRABU DRUUPADA
Raden Sucitra came from Atasgin (opposite) and came to Cempalareja. At that time, the king of Cempalareja, Prabu Gandabayu, held a power struggle against Gandamana with the agreement that whoever could defeat Gandamana would be rewarded with Prabu Gandabayu's daughter named Dewi Gandawati.
Raden Sucitra entered the arena and a very lively energy duel ensued. After Sucitra was almost defeated by Gandamana, Pandu came to help with his supernatural powers, until Gandamana lost.
Sucitra received the promised daughter and he was appointed viceroy in Cempalareja with the title Prabu Anom Drupada. Afterwards he reigned as king in Cempalareja.
Raden Sucitra has chubby eyes, a nose and mouth, and a mustache. Wearing a messy bun, wearing a beard with a Garuda on the back, working with kluwih flowers, wearing a crescent moon necklace or also called a Putran (knight) necklace, bracelets, pontoh and wearing full royal clothing.
Prabu Drupada (Sucitra) settled in the land of Java as king in Cempalareja. Fairly calm face and painted black. Curved with rivets, a beard with an eagle on the back and decorated with knotted flowers. Bracelets, pontoons and rumblings. Berkalung Ulur (long chain). Full royal butt. He is considered a native Javanese and comes from the country of Java. Subsequently, the descendants of Drupada intermingled with the descendants of Pendawa, the eldest Drupada daughter, Dewi Draupadi, was consorted by Prabu Yudistira and the second daughter, Dewi Wara Srikandi, was married to Raden Arjuna.
Because of this family relationship, Prabu Drupada was classified as party to the pendawa. In the Bartayuda War, the king and his relatives made sacrifices on the side of Pendawa.
The descendant of Prabu Drupada and Yudistira was named Raden Pancawala, a hero knight in the Baratayuda War. The son who has another daughter and is called the above-mentioned Dewi Wara Srikandi.
Dewi Srikandi married Arjuna and asked for the damaged Maerakaca Park to be fairly repaired overnight. This request can be executed
Prabu Drupada once accepted the proposal of Prabu Jungkungmardea, the king of the land of Paranggubarja, for his daughter, Dewi Wara Srikandi. Seduced by the glory of this king, Drupada also wanted to take Jungkungmardea as his son-in-law. After learning of Ramanda's desire, Srikandi came to Arjuna to ask for his protection. In the war that took place between Arjuna and Jungkungmardea, the latter had been killed by Arjuna.
Raden Arjuna's defense of Dewi Srikandi was actually nothing more than a defense of a bathuk, an allegory for the battle for women. At that time, (purwa) knights fighting over princesses was considered a noble act that could contribute to a knight's reputation. Such an act is not considered shameful because it risks one's soul.
