Sopala - (Raden) - Mahabharata

Sopala has a physical disability since birth. Four-armed, four-legged, and three-eyed, one eye in the middle of the forehead. The legend of the gods accepted by Prabu Kandiraja, Supala's disability can only be cured by the hand of Lord Vishnu, but it is in the hands of the healer that Supala's life and death resides. Supala's disability can finally be cured by Narayana/King Krishna, the son of Prabu Basudewa and Dewi Mahindra from the country of Mandura. At that moment Narayana promised not to kill Supala until Supala insulted and humiliated him in front of a hundred kings.

After growing up, Supala became the king of Kadi country replacing his father's position. He established a very close relationship with Prabu Jarasanda, the king of Magada.

At the end of his story, Supala was killed by King Krishna. His head was destroyed by the impact of Cakra's weapon, as a result of Supala's impudence to insult and humiliate Prabu Krishna in front of more than 100 kings who were present at the Sesajirajasuya event, the great coronation party of Puntadewa as the king of Amarta.
