Wedding plans.
Bubat War events initiated from the intention of King Hayam Wuruk who wanted to marry the daughter Dyah Pitaloka Citraresmi of State Sunda. It is said that interest in Hayam Wuruk against the princess for the circulation of the painting in Majapahit princess; painted secretly by an artist at that time, named Sungging Prabangkara.According to historical records Pajajaran by Saleh Danasasmita and Manuscript War Bubat by Yoseph Iskandar, the marriage intention is to strengthen the brotherhood that has long dropped out between Majapahit and the Sundanese. Raden Wijaya who became the founder of the Majapahit kingdom Sunda considered descendants of the Ox Dyah Tal and her husband are Rakeyan Jayadarma, king of Sunda. It is also recorded in the Rajya Reader Rajya i Bhumi Nusantara II sarga parwa 3.
In the Babad Tanah Jawi, Raden Wijaya is called by the name of Jaka Susuruh of Pajajaran. Nevertheless, the historical record is considered weak Pajajaran truth, especially since the name of the Ox Dyah Tal is a male name.
A common reason accepted that it intends to marry Hayam Wuruk Dyah Pitaloka with driven political reasons, namely to tie alliance with the State of Sunda. On the blessing of the royal family of Majapahit, Hayam Wuruk sent a letter to the Maharaja Linggabuana honor to propose Dyah Pitaloka. The wedding ceremony was scheduled to be held on Majapahit. State party Sunda royal council itself is actually mind, especially Mangkubumi Hyang Bunisora Suradipati. This is because according to the custom prevailing in the archipelago at the time, [citation needed] unorthodox party bride comes to the groom. In addition there are allegations [citation needed] that it is a diplomatic trap Majapahit who was currently expanding its power, including by way of control of the Kingdom of Dompu in Nusa Tenggara.
Linggabuana decided to remain departed for Majapahit, because the sense of brotherhood that had been there from the ancestry of the two states. Linggabuana departing entourage Sunda to Majapahit and accepted and placed in Pesanggrahan Bubat.
Misunderstanding.
Raja Sunda came to Bubat along with the empress and princess Dyah Pitaloka, accompanied by a little soldier. According to Song Sundayana, Gajah Mada raised Mahapatih intention to rule the Kingdom of Sunda. Gajah Mada would like to meet Palapa Oath he made in the period before Hayam Wuruk ascended the throne, because of the various kingdoms in the archipelago that has been conquered Majapahit, only the Sunda kingdom was not yet secured.With this aim, Gajah Mada make excuses by to assume that the arrival of the Sunda at Guesthouse Bubat is a form of surrender to Majapahit Kingdom of Sunda. Gajah Mada urged [citation needed] Hayam Wuruk to receive Dyah Pitaloka not as bride, but as a sign of surrender and recognition of the superiority of State Sunda on Sunda Majapahit in the archipelago. Hayam Wuruk himself mentioned undecided [citation needed] to these problems, given the Gajah Mada is a dependable Mahapatih Majapahit at the time.
The death of the Sunda group.
Then an incident occurred a dispute between envoys Linggabuana with Gajah Mada. This dispute ends with abused at him Gajah Mada by State delegates Sunda are surprised that their arrival just to give an indication of surrender and admit the superiority of Majapahit, not because of a previous invitation. However Gajah Mada remains in its original position.Not to mention give its decision Hayam Wuruk, Gajah Mada has mobilized troops (Bhayangkara) to Pesanggrahan Bubat and threatened Linggabuana to acknowledge the superiority of Majapahit. Sake of honor as a knight Sunda, Linggabuana resisted that pressure. There was war that is not balanced between Gajah Mada with large amounts of troops, against Linggabuana with the royal guard (Balamati) which are small and royal ministers and officials who participated in the visit. The incident ended with the death of Linggabuana, ministers, officials and all the kingdom of Sunda royal family. Raja Sunda Sunda and all the royal officials could be deployed in Majapahit and perish in the field Bubat.
Tradition says the Princess Dyah Pitaloka with grieving hearts do martial starch, suicide to defend the honor of the nation and the country. This action may be followed by all women Sunda remaining, either nobles or servants. According to the code of conduct and values ksatriya caste, ritual suicide performed by the caste women if the men had fallen. The act was expected to defend the dignity as well as to protect their chastity, which is facing the possibility of humiliation to rape, persecution, or enslaved.
Result.
Tradition says that Hayam Wuruk Dyah Pitaloka mourned. Hayam Wuruk deplore this action and sent an envoy (darmadyaksa) of Bali - which was then in Majapahit to witness the marriage between Hayam Wuruk and Dyah Pitaloka - to convey an apology to Mangkubumi Hyang Bunisora Suradipati who became acting king of the State of Sunda, and convey that all of these events will be published in the Sunda Song or Song Sundayana (in Bali known as Sunda Geguritan) in order to be learned. King Hayam Wuruk married his own cousin, Paduka Sori.As a result of this Bubat event, said in the note that the relationship with the Gajah Mada Hayam Wuruk frays. Gajah Mada own faces opposition, suspicion and criticism from party officials and nobles Majapahit, because his actions are considered careless and reckless. He was considered too bold and presumptuous by not heeding the wishes and feelings of the Crown, King Hayam Wuruk himself. Events which filled these misfortunes also mark the beginning of a career decline in Gajah Mada, because then Hayam Wuruk granted the fief in Madakaripura (now Probolinggo). Although this action appears as a bestowal, this action could be interpreted as a subtle suggestion that Gajah Mada began considering retirement, because this land is located far from the capital of Majapahit so Gajah Mada began to resign from state politics Majapahit palace. Nevertheless, according to Negarakertagama Gajah Mada is still mentioned her name and position, so construed Gajah Mada himself Mahapatih remain in office until his death (1364).
This tragedy statehood spoil relations between the two countries and continued until many years later, relations Sundanese-Majapahit never recovered to normal. Prince Niskalawastu Kancana - younger sister of Princess Pitaloka who remain at court and did not participate Kawali Majapahit to accompany his family because it was still too small - to be the only surviving descendant of King and then will ascend the throne of King Niskalawastu Kancana. His policies include sever diplomatic relations with Majapahit and applying insulating state is limited in relations between the two kingdoms. As a result of these events also, among relatives Sunda State enacted legislation prohibiting estri ti outcomes, the contents of which should not be married outside environment Sunda relatives, or some say may not be married to the Majapahit. These regulations then more widely interpreted as a prohibition to the Sundanese to marry Javanese.
Acts of bravery and heroism Raja Sunda and daughter Dyah Pitaloka to act in defense of starch (suicide) is respected and honored by the people of Sunda and is regarded as exemplary. Raja Lingga Buana was dubbed "King Wangi" (Sundanese: king of fragrant name) for his heroic defense of his country's dignity. His descendants, the kings of Sunda later dubbed Siliwangi which comes from the word that means replacement of Reparation Wangi, Wangi King heir or successor.
Some of these reactions reflect public disappointment and anger Sunda to Majapahit, a sentiment which later developed into a kind of rivalry and hostility between Sundanese and Javanese in some ways remained until now. Among other things, unlike other cities in Indonesia, in the city of Bandung, the capital of West Java and Sundanese cultural center, there are no street named "Gajah Mada" or "Majapahit". Although Gajah Mada is regarded as a national hero of Indonesia, most people believe it is inappropriate Sunda due to his actions deemed commendable in this tragedy.
The interesting thing, among others, although Bali is often regarded as the heir of the Majapahit culture, the Balinese people seemed inclined to side with the Sunda kingdom in this case, as is evident in the text of the Song of Sunda Bali. Respect and admiration for the Bali for the actions of the royal family Sunda who bravely face of death is very likely due to compliance with Hindu teachings about manners and values of honor caste ksatriya, that the death of the principal and perfect for a ksatriya is at the tip of the sword in the middle battlefield. Values of heroism and courage is getting sandingannya Balinese culture, the traditions of bellows, a battle to death were committed by men, followed by ritual suicide of the women. They chose a noble death rather than give up, stay alive, but to bear the shame, humiliation and defeat.
