Setyaka – (Arya) – Mahabharata
Arya Setyaka lived in the Tambakwungkal kingdom. He was not involved in the Bharatayuda war.
Setyaka was assigned by his father, Prabu Kresna to serve Prabu Baladewa, the king of the Mandura country who was meditating in Grojogansewu.
After the end of the Bharatayuda war, Arya Setyaka returned to Dwarawati and then returned to the Tambangwungkal palace.
Setyaka was killed in the mace war between the Yadawa Dynasty families, Wresni and Andaka (Mahabharata).
Meanwhile, according to Javanese puppetry, Arya Setyaka was killed by Prabu Baladewa who was angry because he felt lied to by Setyaka's reports that always said that the Bharatayuda war was not over.
