Sadana – (Raden) – Mahabharata
After growing up, Raden Sadana will be married by his wife, but he refuses. This refusal caused the wrath of his father and Raden Sadana was expelled. During the journey, Raden Sadana turned into a swallow, because of his father's oath.
The bird flew to the other side and was shot by a priest named Begawan Brahmanaresi from Atasangin. The bird became Raden Sadana again who then married the priest's daughter, Dewi Laksmitawah and gave birth to Dewi Hartati.
Raden Sadana then became a God with the name Sang Hyang Sadana, met again with Goddess Sri together to share happiness with mankind.
