History The origin of Sengkuni Mahabharata

Sangkuni or Saubala (the patronim of Subala) is an antagonist in the epic Mahabharata. He is the maternal uncle of the Kauravas. Sangkuni is famous as a cunning figure who always incites the Kauravas to be hostile to the Pandavas.


He managed to seize the Indraprastha Kingdom from the hands of the Pandavas through a dice game. According to Mahabharata, Sangkuni is the personification of Dwaparayuga, a period of chaos on Earth, the predecessor of the dark ages or Kaliyuga.

BE AWARE OF GANDHARA KINGDOM PRINCIPLE

In the book Mahabharata mentioned that Sangkuni is the prince of the kingdom of Gandhara during the reign of Subala. Her sister named Gandaridilamar to serve as Dretarastra's wife, a blind prince from Hastinapura. Sangkuni was angry at his father's decision to accept the proposal.

According to him, Gandari should be the wife of Pandu, Dretarastra's sister. Because already happened, he followed Gandari who then settled in the palace of Hastinapura. Gandari decides to always cover his eyes with a cloth because he is very loyal to his blind husband.

Gandari childless  one hundred people known as a hundred Kauravas who since childhood raised by Sangkuni. Under Sangkuni's care, the Kauravas grow into children who are always overcome with hatred towards the Pandavas, the sons of Pandu.

Every day Sangkuni always rekindle the feelings of hostility in the hearts of the Kauravas, especially the oldest Korawa named Duryodana.

BEING ADVISED OF THE KURAWA 

Both in the Mahabharata version and the pewayanagan version, Sangkuni is the main adviser of Duryodana, the leader of the Kauravas. Various types of tricks and cunning he runs to get rid of the Pandavas. In the first part of Mahabharata or Adiparwa, Sangkuni ordered Purocana to create a fire at Jatugreha Building (Laksagraha), where the Pandavas spend the night near the forest of Waranawata.

But the Pandavas and their mother, Kunti, escaped from death. In wayang, this event is famous as Bale Sigala-Gala. The most successful Sengkuni attempt is to seize Indraprastha from the Pandavas' hands through a dice game against the Kauravas. This story is in the second part of Mahabharata, or Sabhaparwa.

The incident was caused by Duryodana's jealousy for the success of the Pandavas to build a much more beautiful Indraprastha than Hastinapura. At Sangkuni's suggestion, he invited the Pandavas to play the dice in Hastinapura. In the game Sangkuni acts as a thrower dice Korawa. Using his witchcraft, he managed to defeat the Pandavas.

Little by little, the possessions of the Pandavas fell into the hands of Duryodhana, including the Indraprastha palace and their wife, Draupadi. Heard Draupadi publicly humiliated, Dewi Gandari the mother of the Korawa appeared to cancel everything. The Pandavas went home and gained their independence again.

Frustrated, Duryodana urges his father, Dretarastra, to allow him to challenge the Pandavas once more. Drestarastra can not resist the wishes of the child who is very spoiled. So, the second dice game happened again. For the second time, the Pandavas lost in the hands of Sangkuni.

As punishment, they have to live for 12 years in the forest, and continue with disguises for a year in a country. If their disguises are uncovered, they must repeat for 12 years living in the forest and so on.

DEATH DEATH ON THE BARATAYUDHA WAR 

After the 13 year sentence ends, the Pandavas return to take their country from the hands of Kauravas. But the Korawa refused to return Indraprasthad with the excuse that the disguise of the Pandavas in the Kingdom of Wirata has been uncovered. Peaceful efforts to fight for the Pandavas but all of them failed. War became the next choice.

The great battle in Kurukshetra between the Pandavas against Kaurava and their respective allies eventually erupted. The war, also known as Baratayuda, lasted for 18 days, during which Sengkuni was killed on the last day. According to the eighth verse of Mahabharata or Salyaparwa, Sangkuni died at the hands of Sadewa, the youngest of the five Pandavas.

Their battle took place on the 18th day. The Indian version of the story is slightly different from that of Kakawin Bharatayuddha written in the time of the Kadiri Kingdom in 1157. According to this ancient Javanese manuscript, Sangkuni is not dead in the hands of Seadewa, but in the hands of Bima, the second Pandavas. Sangkuni was told to be crushed by the blows of Bima.

Bima then cut Sengkuni's body into pieces. The story was developed again in Javanese wayang. On the last day of the Westayuda, Sangkuni fought against Bima. Her skin is immune to the effects of even tala oilhad made Bima difficult to beat Sengkuni. Pandavas advisor in addition to Krishna, Semar appears to tell Bima that the weakness of Sangkuni is in the rectum, because the part would not have been affected by tala oil.

Bima went back. Sangkuni was captured and torn his robe using a Pancanaka Nail that grows on the fingertips of Bima. Sengkuni immune science was destroyed. Violently, Bima tore and skinned Sangkuni without mercy. Nevertheless, Sangkuni is only dying but not dead. That afternoon, Bima defeated Duryodana, the leader of a hundred Kauravas.

In a state of dying, Duryodana stated that he would die if accompanied by his life partner, namely his wife named Dewi Banowati. On the advice of Krishna, Bima took Sangkuni who is still dying to be handed over to Duryodana. Duryodana, who had lost his eyesight from severe injuries, bit into the neck of Sangkuni, which he thought was Banowati. As a result of the bite, Sengkuni was killed instantly, as well as Duryodana.
