Sutija - (Prabu) - Mahabharata[edit | edit source]
At first, when Prabu Boma was still a child, his name was Bambang Sutija. After growing up, Bambang Sutija asked his mother about his ramanda. Wherever Sutija dies, if his body touches the earth he can come back to life, so he cannot be defeated. And he was also hostile to the Pandava people, once he killed Raden Arjuna. Arjuna's death angered Prabu Kresna, because Prabu Kresna felt hard for the Pandavas: So Prabu Kresna said to kill Prabu Boma. but because of supernatural powers. Prabu Boma, he could not be defeated.
So Prabu Kresna remembered that Prabu Boma's death was kept secret by Boma's mother, Dewi Pertiwi. Prabu Kresna found Dewi Pertiwi in Saptaputala and asked her about the secret. Dewi Pertiwi did not mind answering Prabu Kresna's question, because it was Ramanda Prabu Boma himself who asked. After Prabu Kresna died, Dewi Pertiwi felt sorry for revealing the secret of her son's death. That's right, because Prabu Kresna defended the Pandavas, the Pandavas were also Boma's enemies, so Prabu Kresna went with Prabu Boma.
After it was explained that he was Sri Kresna's son, Bambang Sutija went to Dwarawati's country, King Kresna's country. Because of Bambang Sutija's supernatural powers, he was asked by God to kill a king in the land of Trajutrisna. Bambang Sutija went to the land of Trajutrisna and fought with the king of that country named Prabu Bomantara. Bambang, Sutija were able to defeat Prabu Bomantara, then Prabu Bomantara's subtle body entered Bambang Sutija and Bambang Sutija became king in Trajutrisna. He named himself Prabu Bomanarakasura.
In another story Sutija also owns the inheritance of Aji Pancasonabumi and Cangkok Wijayamulya, donated by Bathara Wisnu. With his magic, Sutija conquered the land of Surateleng by defeating King Narakasura, and then conquered the land of Prajatisa from the power of King Bomantara, the land of Surateleng and Prajatisa became one. Bambang Sutija proclaimed himself king of Prajatisa with the title Prabu Bomanarakasura.
Prabu Sutija is very powerful, he can enter the Earth and has a vehicle in the form of Garuda with a gigantic head called Wilmana. During the war, Prabu Sutija/Bomanarakasura was riding his giant eagle Wilmana. This bird could also help fight, he could peck and peck. But then Prabu Boma and his vehicle died together because they were shot with the Cakra weapon by Prabu Kresna, his own father, and Prabu Boma's body fell in the nets until it doesn't touch the earth.
Then the history of King Bomanarakasura is over.
