The king loses
Lakon Parikesit Grogol
ca. 1935 | Helene Potjewijd
Peace is established for a short time, until the son of the killed hermit plots revenge. He instructs the venomous dragon-snake Taksaka slay the king with its venom. The deadly battle between the king and two dragon-snakes, probably the snake pair Basuki and Ananta, ends tragically with the king's death.
