Description in the Javanese wayang retellings: A monkey from the Ramayana cycle that becomes a hermit sage in his older days. He becomes a source of advice for the Pandawa. Some sources have him as the son of Batara Guru. His death is described in the Madya cycle. He died defending Jayabaya (the grandson of [Parikesit]) against an attack by Kaladewa, from Selahuma. Kaladewa killed Anoman with a special weapon he obtained from Batari Durga.
Notes on the Indian retellings: Known as Hanuman in Ramayana, his name means "broken chin." He is believed to have broken his chin when he tried to "eat" the Sun as he mistook it for a fruit. He is the son of Vayu (Lord of the Wind) and the foster son of Kesari, who served under the Monkey King Sugriva's army force. His mother's name is Anjana.
