Nagagini - (Dewi) - Mahabharata
In the play Bale Sigala gala, when the Pandawa was tricked by the Korawa and locked in a burning resin house in Wanayasa forest, where a banquet was being held, the Pandawa family and Goddes Kunti could not escape from that dangerous situation. Thanks to the generosity of the gods, the Pandawa managed to escape to Earth by following a Garangan (of the white fox) until they met Hyang Antaboga. Subsequently, Raden Bratasena, the second Pendawa, was married to Dewi Nagagini and had a son Raden Antareja or Antasena. Antareja and his mother stayed in Saptapratala heaven because they belonged to God and Goddess and had to live there.
