ABSTRACT
When Damarwulan, the popular hero from Majapahit, is defeated outside the kraton of Blambangan by the ruler of this East Javanese state, Ménak Jingga, his body is left behind in the assumption that he is dead. Ménak Jingga’s wives, who had met with the charming prince before, are very upset upon hearing the news of his death. They rush outside, pick up the lifeless body, and carry it into one of the sleeping quarters. Inside, they inspect the body, but cannot discover any wound or scar. And yet, the prince does not give any sign of life. Then the princesses recite prayers and perform all sorts of other acts, which eventually revive the prince. Subsequently, Damarwulan kills the king of Blambangan and returns triumphant to Majapahit.
