Sapulebu (Jin Sadewa) Art and Culture Wayang Indonesia
DITYA SAPULEBU (JIN SADEWA) according to a Javanese puppeteer story is a giant genie from the chivalry of Baweratalun, the territory of the Mertani country, a stealth kingdom which in the eyes of the ordinary eye is a very haunted wilderness. He has a twin brother named Ditya Sapujagad who lives in the Sawojajar knighthood. Ditya Sapulebu also has three other half-brothers, their mothers each named; Prabu Yudhistira, the genie king of the Mertani state, Arya Dandunwacana from the Jodipati knighthood and Arya Dananjaya who lives in the Madukara knighthood.
Ditya Sapulebu is very powerful. He has Aji Pramanajati, who is efficacious and cannot be mistaken/forgotten. When the Mertani forest was conquered by the Pandavas, the son of Prabu Pandu, king of the Astina state, Ditya Sapulebu, went to war against Tangsen (Sadewa's nickname), the son of Prabu Pandu and his consort Dewi Madrim. After knowing that Arya Dandunwacana was single in Bima, Arya Dananjaya was united in Arjuna, and his twin brother Ditya Sapujagad was single in Nakula, Ditya Sapulebu decided to unite with Sahadewa.
Before converting/incarnating, Ditya Sapulebu handed over Aji Purnamajati and the knights of Baweratalun and his entire army to Tangsen. Tangsen was also given the right to use the name Sadewa.
