But do you know the origin of Javanese characters? The following is the story of the origin of the hanacaraka Javanese script.
Once upon a time, in a Medhangkamulan kingdom, was a king named Dewata Cengkar. Or famous as Prabu Dewata Cengkar. A king who is very greedy, violent, greedy, and likes to eat human flesh. Because of his passion for eating human flesh, the people are forced to deposit tribute in human form.
Hearing Prabu Dewata Cengkar's ruthlessness, a traveler named Aji Saka intended to stop the king's habit. Aji Saka has 2 very loyal servants named Dora and Sembada. On his way to the Medhangkamulan kingdom, Aji Saka invited Dora, while Sembada remained in place because he had to guard a magical heritage belonging to Aji Saka. Aji Saka told Sembada, that the heirlooms should not be given to anyone except me (Aji Saka).
After some time, Aji Saka arrived at the lonely Medhangkamulan kingdom. The people in the kingdom were afraid to leave the house, because they were afraid of being a ruthless meal of the king. Aji Saka immediately went to the palace and met the patih. He said that he was able and ready to be used as Prabu Dewata Cengkar's meal.
Arrived on the day that Aji Saka will be eaten by Prabu Dewata Cengkar. Before being eaten, the prabu always granted 1 request from potential victims. And Aji Saka calmly asked for land the size of his head. Hearing Aji Saka's request, Prabu Dewata Cengkar just laughed out loud, and immediately agreed. So the Shurban cloth of Aji Saka's head covering was opened.
Aji Saka holds one end of the syurban, while the other is held by Prabu Dewata Cengkar. Strange, it turns out that syurban was like expanding so that the God of Cengkar had to walk backwards, backward, and retreat until it reached the south shore. As soon as the God of Cengkar arrived on the south shore, Aji Saka quickly waved his syurban so that it wrapped around the body of the Goddess Cengkar, and kicked it into the south sea. Suddenly the body of the Goddess Cengkar turned into a white crocodile. "Because you like to eat human flesh, then you deserve to be a crocodile, and the right place for a crocodile is in the sea," said Aji Saka.
Since then, the Medhangkamulan Kingdom was led by Aji Saka. A wise and wise king. Suddenly Aji Saka remembered his heritage, and told Dora to take it. But Sembada did not want to give the inheritance, because he remembered the message of Aji Saka. Then there was a wide battle between Dora and Sembada. Because it has a balanced science and magic, it leaves Dora and Sembada together.
Aji Saka, who remembered his message to Sembada, immediately followed. But it was too late, because when he got there, his two loyal servants had died. To commemorate the two, Aji Saka enshrined it in a letter / letter that sounded and wrote:
