Bubat war is a war where King Pajajaran come to talk about the marriage of King Hayam Wuruk of Majapahit and Princess Diah Pitaloka of Pajajaran. Bubat war makes the controversial historical events between Sundanese and Javanese culture, and spawned a variety of prejudices between the two.
There are many important information is actually from the Song of Sunda if we analisia, this book is a reference source in addition to reinforcing the war Bubat Pararaton book, although the book is the official book of Negarakertagama Majapahit kingdom, which did not mention the great event.
Canto I of the hymn book Sunda mentioned the name of king Hayam Wuruk Majapahit kingdom, the name Hayam Wuruk was raised also by Pararaton book, this relation and why it is said that the Song of Sunda and Pararaton are 2 books that reinforce each other in the event of war Bubat. Very strange that the public receives the title king of Majapahit Sri Rajasanagara with Hayam Wuruk, Hayam is a word that has meaning Sundanese Chicken, was Wuruk same in Sundanese word that has meaning more towards whiz whiz fights. This is great to promote the book so that the name Hayam Wuruk Pararaton as if the correct name designations or call and not half-hearted name of a great king of Majapahit empire. Even the government admits this title.
Other information like things are impossible, not in logic and mysticism, such as this excerpt:
"So he (red-Gajah Mada) impose any upakara (equipment) and do yoga samadhi ceremony. Thereafter he disappeared (moksha) invisible toward nothingness (noetic)"
The Song of Sunda views of the entire contents of a narrative for a story, more towards fantasy fiction means there is a utopian imaginary of the creator of the events narrated. Of course, the truth of history to narrative is highly doubtful there may be no historical value, may also take Bubat war is only engineered to follow the story before, because the Song of Sunda is diterbitan after the first book containing similar incidents of the war which first published Bubat Pararaton book.
Well in the case of initidak deepened further on the authenticity, the truth or falsity of the Song of Sunda and Pararaton, but rather focus analyzing the content presented by the Song of Sunda on events perng Bubat, let's look at the passage from the Song of Sunda:
Excerpts most of the Song of Sunda (translation) Canto I:
"So Madhu took the letter back to the Majapahit king Sunda reply and tell their arrival. Soon they departed with innumerable accompaniment. There are two hundred small boats and the total was 2,000 ships, small boats following. Junk boat. It is possible to board the Sundanese party of this kind. But when they boarded the ship, terlihatlah bad foreshadowing. The ship that rides the King, Queen and Princess of Sunda is a "junk Tatar (Mongolia / China) as widely used since the war Wijaya." (Verse 1. 43a.) ".
Important information obtained from a passage the Song of Sunda on one of them is on the fleet of the Kingdom of Sunda Galuh group, consisting of 200 pieces of small size vessels, the total fleet of about 2,000 boats comprised mostly of large number of vessels in plus sizes 200 ships in a small size.
Arithmetical simple, if we let 1 piece boat load average or carried a crew of 10 men, mean number of entourage around 20,000 people, this amount is too much to overdose or a wedding. Imagine further that the charge in 1 piece minimum boat crew transporting an average of 20 people, the group number can reach about 40,000 people, and it's also not a small amount, that amount was enough for a plan of attacking or invading a country or other kingdoms at that .
Sunda land sailing trip from the east end to Java using boats, certainly not the kind of small boats are used. These boats should be able to accommodate the number of personnel or the crew of more than 30 people in 1 boats, if counted again and summed average of 1 piece boat load crew of 30 people, the total number will reach a total range of more than 60,000 people, enough fantastic and ideal for a plan of attack, as well as the Majapahit kingdom incinerated in fact they were busy outside the territory invaded his kingdom.
Maritime technology or boat building technology, and then adapted to the presence of a future work Sunda Galuh perdamainya hundreds of years, of course, boat building and technology will be possible, it could be the result of buying from other countries as it is revealed that the large boats used are similar to boats attacked a Mongol army during the reign of the kingdom of Kediri Jayakatwang, even had close relationship with the history of the famous kingdom of Srivijaya maritime having superior technology, plus sufficient funding to purchase or make it a ship or boat.
Javanese tradition or wherever in marriage, men who have come to the bride, not the opposite. If Galuh Sunda king and his army on the story of the Song of Sunda is said to feel insulted as an excuse to go to war at the time, to be told that they must be defeated militarily and was asked by Gajah Mada, then logically the actual sense it was impossible, that the reason such It means from the beginning he was humiliating himself by coming escort the princess bride Citraresmi as king of Majapahit Hayam Wuruk (or Sri Rajasanegara), the story is a paradox, of course, unacceptable. While it is possible in certain areas or special conditions exist such that the candidate is the wife who came to the man but it can not be called a general truth.
In the Song of Sunda is also discussed about the Gajah Mada was blamed by the senior (Daha and Territory authorities Kahuripan) dikeraton Majapahit kingdom merpakan Hayam Wuruk uncle, when the end of the war Bubat, but why in the book of hymns Sunda Sunda stated that among the leaders Galuh including the murdered king, that they (the seniors) did. When the incident took place, something that no one else is singkron Hayam Wuruk participate in that war. Here too realistic, clearly the fantasy of the author, in fact any real war could kill each other not only with a magnifying magnifying, ordinary soldier can kill a king, or it could be they were not killed immediately but because of a long-distance arrow or spear.
Although there were no sentimental side of the Sunda Song said that regrets the death of Hayam Wuruk Dyah Citraresmi narrated Pitaloka or suicide. Yet such a death for those who are frequently at war is something common especially the teachings espoused enables the wife or the family or the husband sacrifices himself after his parents passed away, or is it humanity though war is an option, seeing thousands of people drifting soul, certainly as all warriors tribute to it themselves or the other party with a sense of deep sorrow.
In the Song of Sunda is also explained there envoy to the kingdom of Majapahit Galuh Sunda, who narrated and explained the purpose of bringing the king Hayam Wuruk to apply for a royal princess. The analysis was possible for the current event or events coming messenger of Majapahit, is that it's actually Majapahit kingdom envoy envoy to ask the king Sunda kingdom to bow down and surrender Galuh below of the Majapahit kingdom, the pattern of the messengers as the usual things that one desires for empire have conquer another kingdom, a sort of warning not to attack suddenly for no reason. In the end if acceptable means both sides come to terms with the conditions prescribed together, if instead the two sides have been preparing to go to war.
If the war had been intended by the King of Sunda Galuh, the question is why pramesuri and daughter participate palace. It is easy to answer, on the assumption that long trip, a planned military operation off the ground Sunda to Majapahit at least take a long time. Certainly there are major vessels convenient for them, the ship-ship was certainly able to perform activities of members of the royal family were not disturbed by the course of the war the condition of the soldiers, the other, can be made as comfortable as possible.
Their participation in the course of the fighting are common, like the Mongols who travel (long march) to other countries, they often bring along their families, as well as they can be used in preparation for a religious ceremony before the start of the war and so forth. In certain times may be to motifator for the troops and the king, adding to the spirit of combat soldiers.
Number of about 2000 pieces of the ship is an exceedingly grandeur, it makes sense for Galuh Sunda kingdom prosperous and extensively large territory, wants to show the superiority of the economy and their financial capabilities. Great army led by the king of Sunda Galuh it is natural, a combination of the colonies, the areas of power subordinate kingdoms Galuh Sunda kingdom at that time. That number is the sum of the combined army and certainly no confidence of their army defeated the Majapahit kingdom pasukanya most likely still come out on an expedition or invasion of the country or territory to the other kingdoms.
Other historical sources to support the story of the war Bubat Pararaton book (Book of the Kings), which is one excerpt of the event include:
"The Sundanese will present the king's daughter, but was not allowed by the noble lords, they are able to fall on the field of battle in Bubat, will not give up, will risk his blood."
Excerpts above provide information that the notice of the King of Sunda Galuh to the nobles, the daughter of the king of delivery options as an offering to the King of Majapahit. The nobles refused that option before, this means that the theory of planned submission or the motorcade to escort the princess to be married to the king of Majapahit Hayam Wuruk it never happened, that there was a king and his princes Sunda Galuh kerajaanya agreed to declare war on Majapahit. The conclusion that can be drawn is that this war was planned before, was chosen area Bubat is because the location and selection of their strategies they already charge for attacking or invading the kingdom of Majapahit.
Excerpts from the book Pararaton:
"Willingness noble nobleman blood flow, leading to the parties who are eager Sunda, was to: Disallow Court, Sohan Lord, Lord Gempong, Panji Melong, the people of Tobong Goods, Rangga Cahot, God Guts, God Sohan, People Pangulu, People Only , Rangga Kaweni, People Siring Satrajali, Jagadsaja, all Sundanese people cheered.
Mingled with the sound of bende, cheering hubbub was like thunder.
The King Maharaja had preceded fall, falling together with God Guts.
Majesty Parameswara headed to Bubat, he did not know that the Sundanese still many who do not fall, aristocratic nobles, leading their last strike, the Majapahit damaged.
As for the conduct of resistance and revenge, was to: Arya Sentong, Gowi duke, duke of Highways Lewih, Patih Teteg, and Jaran Baya.
All ministers araman was fought on horseback, terdesaklah Sundanese, and held a strike to the south and west, towards the Gajah Mada, each person who arrives upfront Sunda train, fall like an ocean of blood, carcass like a mountain, shattering the Sundanese people , no one was left behind, in saka: Nine Horses Wings Earth, or: 1279. "
Excerpts above as tit for tat, in tune or in accordance with the information provided regarding the number of the Song of Sunda Sunda kingdom Galuh troops in the war, with the scale of the number of troops enormous.
Additional information about the strengthening of the passage above bende statements that sound like the roar of cheers and fanfare, and also stated that the Sunda Galuh troops who died described the situation that the distribution of blood flow due to the many soldiers who died is like the ocean, dead bodies of human beings or forces such as mountains, and the total destruction without a trace.
If the number of bodies piling up small amounts and it is not such a death in the war era as it may be used, and often, because when troops attacked the empire of Genghis Khan Kwarizmi, a massacre can be outside the reach of millions of the human soul. It's said that time depiction of the situation, the decapitated head just at the time when digambarkankan hills forming the great pyramids, not bodies strewn and scattered everywhere. It was a terrible sight, but these historical facts and events can also occur at that time.
The question then is why the great army Galuh Sunda royal army can be defeated in the war, slaughtered out no trace. This is due to the hundreds of years Galuh Sunda kingdom never again fight in large scale and long, after a period of peace and prosperity-mas (10th century to 14th century AD), while it setatusnya great empire which was one of the superpowers Java ditataran even archipelago. The opposite condition for the kingdom of Majapahit troops at that time constantly making military invasions into other countries and that means always covered with war experience until then.
Majapahit troops at that time diasmunsikan still was keen to invade or expeditions to other countries, certainly most troops pasukanya no position empire. The logic of the amount of involvement at the time of Majapahit army itself is certainly reduced from the total amount of the overall work force, estimated at about 1/2 or 2/3 of the army Galuh Sunda kingdom is there. But with the number of such troops could defeat the Sunda Galuh, why? This is because the They are trained, accustomed, Forged and experienced in life during that war.
War scenario could be likened to three stages, namely:
Beginning of the war between the fleet sea, ocean fleet Majapahit troops were forced because of lack fleet, but that goal is not total war more toward disorder
War of the beach, here simply to weaken the royal troops Sunda Galuh because that can only be done by the Majapahit army can hold your arrows through the attack and that there is a limit supply of arrows, but is most effective in reducing the number of enemies.
Ground war going Bubat broad field, this is total war, with a variety of strategies, and a more dominant role in the war as it is the experience and strategy.
Gajah Mada and Hayam Wuruk have a prototype or a source of inspiration for a method of forming an army of war, from the Mongols to the warlord of the land at once Imparium Mongol emperor Genghis Khan ie, the Conqueror with kekaisarnya period also developed at that time as well, though at the time of their emperor Mongol held by his successors, namely I stroke Khan, is also a model for other countries around the world for an ideal unification of ethnic nations into a great nation.
The main idea or the idea of unification was first pioneered by the Sri Rajasa Amurwabhumi (Ken Arok - Book Pararaton version of the name), founder of the dynasty Rajasa, which began as a sovereign duchy Tumapel, part of the kingdom of Kediri, then took over the kingdom of Kediri and form a new empire known by the name of kingdom Tumapel (Singhasari Pararaton book version). Death of the king of Sri Rajasa Tumapel with Genghis Khan's death in 1227 AD. The existence of the kingdom Tumapel already in the record of the Yuan Dynasty of China with sebutanatau chanting "Tu-ma-pen". This means that it has been done before trade relations between the kingdom archipelago with China region, and from this bleak world political map delivered to the archipelago.
King was a direct descendant of Majapahit dynasty Rasaja, whose founder is nothing more famous king Tumapel or designation Singhasari first, Sri Rajasa the Amurwabhumi. The idea or notion of territorial expansion Sri Rajasa then followed by the fourth derivative of the king Kertanegara, so more power Tumapel known as Singhasari at that time was widespread with the mission known as "Expedition Pamalayu".
The idea and the idea of unification and expansion of the region is actually ultimately aims to counter the onslaught of great strength Mongol army itself, which is likely to lead to the southeast Asian region, without exception archipelago areas. The idea or the idea of reunion was also made for the defense system and the formation of alliances or joint military troops throughout the kingdom in the archipelago facing major storm of the Mongol army.
Mongol armies devastated and could even slaughtered a number of troops that could be 5 times the amount pasukanya, this would yield fruit of their strategies and experience on land Mongol wars, wars between clans (tribes) led the They tested for the model of war as any.
So also in the army troops face the Sunda Galuh even brought so many soldiers, like a flood, maybe Majapahit troops collected only 30,000 to 45,000 people, but the position of the They who control the battlefield and experts from all wars, will easily make helter- Sunda Galuh devastated army formations.
War is definitely Bubat war is heroic and full of stories of heroism for both parties (if the assumption is really happening), because the evidence of inscriptions relic was never discussed about the heroism of war Bubat, logically, if it happens for a historical monument is established for both parties, because these events are not likely forgotten in the history of nationalities.
Majapahit troops would fight with proven strategies, while Sunda Galuh than strategies relying on the number of magnitude, although in the end there must be a defeat and surrender, Majapahit troops certainly will not receive, because it adopted a policy of war Genghis Khan, what the enemy struck first logic must be slaughtered if we are indeed in a war such emotions, events reversed if Majapahit troops if they are in a position to win, definitely turns Majapahit troops to be slaughtered.
But perhaps more striking is the nature of heroism Galuh Sunda troops themselves, who do not know the word surrender, they make war like a war models Puputan the war to the bitter end, in the spirit of war is blood sampa efflux alias autumn as a war hero.
Surely this heroic spirit of great pride and makes anyone touched including the opposition, and the tradition of war usually have a remarkable tradition of respect for the fallen opponent. That picture of king Hayam Wuruk who was touched by the conditions of such a war, saw heroism of all soldiers who died, including the entire royal family and the nobility.
Unlike the case when the king of Sunda Galuh escape from war, this course will mencedrai heroism that. War to the death will be the pride of the entire community as well Sunda Galuh at that time. Lost indeed but lost honorably and proud, there is no reason for them to feel humiliated or embarrassed.
If the method of war to the plenary by Majapahit troops, which is probably the kingdoms of the archipelago are treated equally well by such means is the total war to clean, terrorized in a similar way to the finish perfectly. It also, once again when it's in a state of war, for the They were declared not subject to and recognize the kingdom of Majapahit kingdom, so it is also fast in a short time and that cause can Nusantara kingdoms united and conquered.
What does the king of Sunda Galuh with an army is reasonable, as they try to defend themselves by attacking first kerjaannya, theories surprise attack, than they attacked first, but miscalculated and not endorsed or accompanied by troops of war experience.
At the end of the They had to admit defeat. The king Sunda Galuh along with the rest of the army and followers of Sunda kingdom Galuh into the fallen heroes who bravely face the risk of death as an end result in war.
Gajah Mada famous elite intelligence has named Bayangkara, which has telatih and educated nearly perfect, offensive information Sunda kingdom Galuh like this it would have been the They received earlier and prepared antisifasinya albeit with modest resources.
Mahapatih Gajah Mada, King Hayam Wuruk and military forces have to work hard and with a brilliant strategy for dealing with such a large number of enemies who, despite the victory achieved but the number of troops who survived only a few thousand people for sure.
After the war Bubat, the Majapahit Empire troops did not mobilize a large force to the center of the kingdom of Sunda Galuh after that win, it is because the calculations Galuh Sunda kingdom is no longer a force that can confront the future and they also need time to recover from induced by the great war.
The Song of Sunda stated Gajah Mada moksa (disappear swallowed by the earth in ways mystic), but in Negarakertagama of Gajah Mada was because he was already replaced uzhhur it time and enjoy the old times, and within its own Gajah Mada had had enough, what he helped forge the last with the royal army defeated a large army Sunda archipelago Galuh means all can be conquered, the conquest of a perfect journey.
Gajah Mada was 71 years old when finished serving Mahapatih in the kingdom of Majapahit in 1313 AD governor since he took office in Kediri kingdom, Majapahit kingdom subordinate to the year 1364 AD, accounting for 51 years shook it, plus he has served as a senior soldier Bayangkara squad leader, Assuming say 25-year mean age range of about 76 years, if only reasonable age Gajah Mada dies, or Gajah Mada with a man that age was older (red - aki-aki rempong), it is natural to retire and enjoy life let alone ideals and devotion is considered sufficient magnitude.
Hayam Wuruk when referring to the war years of the Book Pararaton Bubat the year 1357 AD, it is adjusted to the time served Hayam Wuruk reigned from the year 1334 until the year 1389 AD is calculated years earlier dinobatkannya called the young king, say age 10 at the time of annual , mean age at the time of the war Hayam Wuruk Bubat occurs is 33 years old and that age Hayam Wuruk is married and has a daughter aged 14 years who had an arranged marriage with a young cousin who will be king of Majapahit after the king Hayam Wuruk. Dyah Pitaloka rich offerings theory redundant, because the King King Galuh certainly do not want their children to be concubines were not lower crown.
Bubat war story is different from the stories that circulated in general. Wars between party candidates for the introduction of the royal princess bride Galuh Sunda to Majapahit king Hayam Wuruk. It is simply an analysis of the existence of the Song of Sunda is considered a reference to the event or events Bubat war.
The Song of Sunda itself as Sundayana Pararaton book and the book must be ensured to absyahannya, the truth content of the story. Because this history, not just stuck and glued to the story of the son of man, a certain group of people or parties that have an interest in not good for the nation of Indonesia, which later plot was considered a general truth. This means that we will be misguided and research the history of the Indonesian government alone should be responsible to straighten the truth of history, with a House of National History.
What I tell just based Asumi that if the war was really the case, please each dear readers to analyze their own book of Song of Sunda. Logic and conditions realistiklah that became the basis for the author.
One thing that so the big question in this Sunda hymn, the author does not mention the exact name prameswari and daughter of the king of Sunda Galuh Citraresmi or Dyah Pitaloka and even the name of the King of Sunda Galuh at that time was also not called, logically, those who authored the book (the book) Song of Sunda were those who were limited knowledge of history itself, or is it all fictional stories sebelumnyaan which Citraresmi daughter alone or Dyah Pitaloka Pararaton only exist in books, books that are considered true by the general public, even though the book is a lot of weirdness and Pararaton kebenarnya equally be proved.
