Premadi – (Raden) – Mahabharata
Premadi (Wanda Nganten) is preforming during the wedding day in the story of Parta Krama when he marries Dewi Wara Sembadra.
Before he marries Wara Sembadra, he is the love interest of many women such as Dewi Erawati (the wife of King Baladewa), Dewi Surtikanthi (the wife of King Karna), and Dewi Banuwati (the wife of King Duryudana). These three women were the daughters of King Salya from the kingdom of Mandaraka, who wished that one of his daughters could become Raden Premadi’s wife.
Premadi was also an incarnation of Wisnu the god of law. Not only did he help and protect people from cruelty, but he is also a hero for all creatures and gods. He has a magical arrow, Bromasta, which becomes millions of arrows when it was shot from his bow. He also has many other magical weapons from heaven, such as Kris Pulanggeni, an arrow called Harda Dedhali, Kris Kalanadhah and another arrow called Pasupati.
Raden Premadi is very popular with the Javanese people and puppeteers.
