Duke Pragota
Pragota became the duke of Prabu Baladewa from the country of Madura. His speech was harsh and followed by giggling laughter. He can follow the will of his king who is quick to blood.
In the war Pragota behaved like a person who was happy and like a person who did not get angry. So he was always accompanied by a gamelan that brought gending galaganjur, but the end result was that the enemy was defeated.
The end of his history is told; Arya Pragota was killed in a mace war between his own families Trah Yadawa, Wresni and Andaka, after the end of the Bharatayuda war.
