                                                                    GatotKaca 

Gatotkaca was a strong and brave man from Pringgani Kingdom. He was son of Bimasena and Arimbi. The baby was so strong that no weapon could cut of his umbilical cord. It’s been a year, Bimasena said sadly, but my son still has his umbilical cord.

Hearing that, his brother named Arjuna decided to meditate for god’s guide. Arjuna didn’t realize that at the same time Karna was meditating nearby. Since the two of them looked alike, god Batara Narada by mistake gave a super power weapon Kantawijaya to Karna. Then Narada told his mistake to Arjuna, and Arjuna tried to take away the weapon. They were fighting fiercely. Karna manage to keep the weapon. Arjuna, on the other han, got the case only. Miraculously, the case cut the Gatotkaca’s cord and then penetrated the baby’s stomach. It’s made the baby strength, but Arjuna has a strong feeling that he’ll be killed the weapon.

Seeing this, Narada then took Gatotkaca to the Nirvana. Narada would have the baby fight Patih Sekipu who was attacking the Nirvana. Sekipu grabbed Gatotkaca. He hit the baby hard on its leg, but the baby kicked him. He squeezed the baby’s arm, but the baby pulled his arm so hard. With great embarrassment, Sekipu returned the baby to Narada and then run away.

Narada was so amazed to Gatotkaca that he planned to give more power to him. Narada plunged Gatotkaca to Candradimuka, which was the crater of mount Jamurdipa. almost immediately, the other god threw all inds of powerful weapons into the crater. The following day Gatotkaca emerged from the depth in the shape of fully grown man with the power equql to all kinds of weapons.

The gods gave him a soecial gift, a hat called Basunanda, a vest called Antrakusuma, and sandals called Pandakacarma. With these all, Gatotkaca could fly fom cloud to cloud as fast as lighting to defnd not only his father and uncle but also the gods.
