Wulan_Drema

Alternative names: Ulanderma

Terms of address: Batara

Type: God

Origin: Java

Description in the Javanese wayang retellings: Wulan Drema and Wulan_Dremi are the offspring of Batara [Darma]. They both decided to incarnate as humans and become lovers. [Wulan _Dremi] incarnated into [Hagnyawati] and Wulan Drema into Samba. This was either a mistake or a result of a curse since [Hagnyawati] was meant to marry Bomanarakasura, Samba's brother. They committed adultery and Bomanarakasura became aware of this. He killed Samba, but Kresna brought him back to life. Kresna was privy to the fact that Samba and [Hagnyawati] were incarnations of Wulan Drema and Wulan_Dremi. Eventually, Kresna killed Samba and gave his blessing to the marriage of [Hagnyawati] and Samba.
