The wild fury of two Pandava sons in the Javanese version of the Mahabharata.
Antasena and Wisanggeni are two wayang (shadow puppet) characters who possess extraordinary powers. They are considered unbeatable warriors and are the sons of the Pandavas. In the Javanese wayang version, they are favorites due to their unique characteristics and attitudes.
On the other hand, Gatotkaca, the son of Bima, also possesses formidable strength and can intimidate his opponents. However, in the Javanese wayang version, he is depicted as having an equally matched adversary who nearly defeats Gatotkaca before the Bharatayuda war. His opponent possesses a mysterious, powerful spell that can turn enemies into dust.
This story reflects the spirit of heroism, loyalty, and resilience in the face of difficult challenges, making it one of the popular wayang performances that continues to be highly appreciated in Java to this day.
