Yudistira - (Raden) - Mahabharata
According to the story of the Javanese farmer Yudhistira is the genie king of the country of Mertani, a Demon Kingdom which in the eyes of the naked eye is a very haunted wilderness.
When the Mertani forest was successfully conquered by the Pandava family thanks to the magical power of Arjuna's Jayengkaton oil given by Bagawan Wilwuk/Wilawuk, a winged dragon from the Pringcendani hermitage. King Yudhistira then handed over the entire country and his wife to Puntadewa, the eldest of the Pandavas, the son of King Pandu and Dewi Kunti. King Yudhistira then incarnated/fused into Puntadewa's body, until Puntadewa had the title King Yudhistira.
King Yudhistira
King Yudistira is the king of Amarta and the eldest son of King Pandudewanata. In his youth his name was Puntadewa. He is a very patient person, to the point that people say he has white blood, because he never gets angry. Because of his nature, Yudhisthira was far away and dangerous. Yudistira has a heirloom called the Kalimahusada letter which has the power to ward off enemies, save oneself and so on. On the other hand, the letter could be dangerous for anyone who has evil intentions towards Kalimahusada. But in the play the letter was once controlled by someone and he became victorious.
Yudistira never fought in Baratayuda. He was made a hero, but he annoyed his brothers because he was reluctant to fight his enemies. So he was forced to be helped by Arjuna, who with his arrows pushed back the arrows released by Yudistira, so that he could defeat the enemy.
Yudistira and the other Pendawa brothers died completely after the Baratayuda war.
Prabu Yudistira has narrow eyes, a pointed nose, a calm face, calmer than in his youth, when he was still called Puntadewa. Coiled rivets, edited waderan. After taking the throne as king, all his golden clothes and all his jewels were thrown away. So he was a very humble king. King Yudistira has the mood: 1. Putut, 2. Manuksma, 3. Jimat and 4. Deres.
