Story of Aji Saka and Dewata. Cengkar
Many, many years ago, the kingdom of
Medangkamulan was ruled by a king
named Dewata-chengkar. This king had
a strange and frightening habit. He
liked to eat human beings.
One day, a young traveler arrived in
the kingdom.He was called Ajisaka.
Ajisaka took shelter in the house of a
widow who quickly came to look upon
the young man as her own son. When he
heard of the king's strange appetite,
Ajisaka sympathized with the villagers'
plight and immediately volunteered to
become the king's next meal.
Ajisaka went directly to the king's
palace.“I am willing to be your next
meal. Your Highnees. However, I have a
request.“ said Aji Saka to the king.
“Whatever you please, young man, I
will grant your request,“ the king
replied. “Before you eat me, grant me
some land. Just enough length of my
own headcloth.“ continued Aji Saka.
“Come, Young Man. Let's measure your
headcloth so that I can have my meal
and you can have your land“ agreed
the king.
Ajisaka began to unwrap the cloth
tied around his head. The king got
down from his throne and hold one
end of the headcloth. He stepped
backward. What he didn't know was
that this headcloth was much longer.
The king kept going backward, step by
step, as the cloth kept unraveling. He
stepped backward through the palace
square, backward across the village,
holding the end of Ajisaka's
headcloth. The king kept stepping
backward until reached the sea
cliftts of the sea.
A great crowd of people had gathered.
They held their breath as their king
took his final step backward over the
cliff's edge and plunged into the
waves crashing againts the rocks at
the foot of the sea wall.
