Citrayuda - (Raden) - Mahabharata[edit | edit source]
After her marriage, Gandari gave birth to a meatball after an unusually long time. Abiasa divided this ball into one hundred equal pieces. There was a small piece left. All pieces were carefully stored in barrels of butter for two years. On the first day of the third year, a day after the birth of the Pandawa brothers, the vessels were opened. A barrel was opened every day. At that time , Abyasa gave the names of the newborn babies one by one. However, not all of the hundred Kauravas have specific stories and tales. Only a few characters have long stories that require puppets to be made. Meanwhile, the characters are only mentioned by name once or twice without any important story or character, let alone a clear character. As a result, not all Kauravas can be depicted as wayang puppets. Even if one hundred Kurawa puppets were made, it would be inevitable that there would be duplication or similarities in the characters.
Suyudana, who is also called Duriodana, is the eldest. Next came Dursasana. This continued until on the hundred and first day the girl Dursilawati (also called Dusala) was born. The sons of Dasarata and Gandari are called the Korawa. Citrayuda is one of the hundred Kaurawas.
As a student of Resi Drona , Citrayuda was also skilled in soldiering using mace and javelin weapons. During the Bharatayuda war, Citrayuda appeared to lead the Kaurava army accompanying the war senapati Resi Drona . He and Citraksa, Surtayu, Citrakundala and Dirgalasara died in the battle against Arya Wratsangka , the Pandawa war senapati, son of Prabu Matswapati from the country of Wirata.
