Semar Badranaya figure punakawan in java/sundanese leather puppet has character principaler than leather puppet babon (leather puppet with indians original figure). be incarnation from bambang ismaya eldest child from the hyang single.

Birth semar
The hyang wenang berputra one that named the hyang single. the hyang single then bigamous goddess rekatawati giant crab daughter that named rekata. on a certain day goddess rekatawati lay eggs and with strength from the hyang single. egg fly to look out on the hyang wenang, final egg hatch self with various miracle that espouse it, where does the egg skin be tejamantri or togog, white the egg is bambang ismaya or semar and yellow the egg is manikmaya then be teacher god.
in story other egg hatch menajadi sky, earth and light or twilight. so that said that semar dominant figure as earth patron.

Rivalry on successful in lead

They are bertiga very magic and all want to have the authority to like the father the hyang single, but be debate causing falling-out. narrated on (intelligence (? ) or keculasan (? ) manikmaya) actually he has willing equal to they, manikmaya submit race suggestion to gulp mount then vomit up it to return. from here many lessons that can be taken because that mount be a certain to implant or mengokoh earthing position but raced to gulped although then to vomitted up to return. then lesson that taken don't memperebut something that bot his right with don't incited by suggestion apparently good and logical.
Tejamantri that begin first race obvious fails to gulp mount, caused by insufficient the science so happen change towards the mouth. bambang ismaya then out for gulp a mount and success but something that has been gulped certain will change and bambang ismaya can not vomit up it to return so that happen physical change in the stomach that expands. according to science memadai but less to vomit up it to return.
Because gulp mount here's so form semar be big, fat and round. the body proportion in such a manner so that visible as a dwarf. the body proportion in such a manner so that visible as a dwarf, he is informed even go to tell periha second the elder brother to the hyang wenang. on message from manikmaya the hyang wenang will make that manikmaya that will get mandate as router and be king gods.

Consequence is eaten provocation and can not self

Bambang ismaya and tejamantri must go down kebumi, to take care breed manikmaya, both only may look out on the hyang wenang when manikmaya act inequitable. from here seen with eaten play one against another rumors obvious bambang ismaya and tejamantri go down only as breed patron manikmaya, good we can take lesson here and good our nation is this don't wants mengadu sheep again.
In story semar accuse to happen disagreement between teacher god that camouflage to be receipt wisuna with semar where does teacher god lose the batural existence because affection taste towards time god the child. semar experience duel with receipt wisuna bone other than teacher/the younger brother god self, where semar hitted weapon trisara so that causes semar accuse to the hyang wenang.

To go down degree and replaced name

Semar badranaya village-head figure from village (cliff) tumaritis that be part from kingdom amarta under leadership yudistira. although the part village-head yet it is often memintai aid by pandawa and the children knight even by god kresna self when happen difficulty.

Intensity semar

Here only be unfolded just part from intensities semar, is;
This figure is with figure punakawan another is made by guardians mengantaranya sunan kalijaga in menebar islamic religion at java that pass culture acculturation. with figure existence punakawan, leather puppet story performance is more alive caused by dialog and interaction between mastermind (leather puppet) with audiens with be central masterminds in submit advice advice in lakon or exhibition may be can not by when not use figure figure punakawan. heritage term hyang kalimusada be epitomizing two creed sentences.
Another intensity has vision tejamaya, very memperebutkan by pandawa also kurawa or whoever that want to lead this nature, best dominate vision tejamaya this.
Because semar gulp mount so there that consider that semar be lamabang from also universe, equally semar assumed equal to fair queen intelligence, although part semar as assistant, the deed shows that he principal figure or main and not he is marginal figure or little chaffy. modesty in general javanese consider as sign that that man get of best of self and vinicity and has also earthly desire curb strength every time and not influenced by it. as eldest figure but semar doesn't want to hold worldly power desire.
