Sembadra - (Dewi) - Mahabharata[edit | edit source]
In the play Sembadra Larung, when Sembadra is outside the palace, she is suddenly chased by Burisrawa,
who has loved her from the start but has always been rejected by Sembadra. Even Sembadra swore that she would
rather die than marry Burisrawa. Burisrawa then got annoyed and drew a keris to scare her, but Sembadra
actually stabbed the keris into her body. On Kresna's advice, Sembadra's body was floated by boat in the river.
Then came Bima's son named Antareja who had the Perwitasari water heritage and then used it to revive Sembadra.
Abimanyu married Dewi Untari and had a son, Raden Parikesit, who later inherited the throne of Astinapura after the Baratayuda war was won by the Pandavas. Sembadra lived until her old age and became an advisor to her grandson, Parikesit.
