Reviewing the figure of King Siliwangi in various versions - History of West Java - Indonesia.
Starting from a personal experience to visit the spiritual place where the King Siliwangi meditation in the region Majalengka - West Java, I became interested to find historical info Siliwangi Kingdom of West Java - Indonesia.

In the history of the Sundanese, King Siliwangi is known as the King of the Pajajaran Kingdom of the Sundanese.
One of the ancient manuscripts describing the journey of King Siliwangi is the Book of Suwasit which contains 23 chapters of Siliwangi King's journey beginning from his father, King Anggararang in the Kingdom of the Elephant.
When King Anggarang felt that his son was worthy to receive the throne to succeed him, the kingdom was then handed over to Prince Pamanah Rasa (before the title of Siliwangi).
About the name of Siliwangi, it is explained that the name is a title given after Prince Pamanah Rasa converted to Islam as one of the conditions to marry his disciple Shaikh Quro, namely Nyai Subanglarang.

From his third wife, was born Kian Santang who holds Prince Cakrabuana in Cirebon - West Java, and Rara Santang, mother of Sunan Gunung Jati.
Along with the increasing area of ​​the Kingdom of the Elephant, the King Siliwangi creates a weapon Kujang-shaped curved with tiger carvings on the stem.
Later, this weapon became the symbol of West Java - Indonesia.
Then, the name of the Elephant kingdom was changed to the Kingdom of Pajajaran, for combining the Elephant Kingdom with the Kingdom of White Tiger.
The story in Suwasit ends with mokhsa (disappearance) and the transfer of the Pajajaran Kingdom to the Unseen with the White Tiger.

As for the book published by Jelajah Nusa, mentioned in the fourth chapter that after becoming a ruler in the Kingdom of the Elephant, Prince Pamanah Rasa wanders until he arrived in a forest in the region Majalengka.
At the time of drinking water from curugan (waterfall), Prince Pamanah Rasa confronted by the White Tiger and there was a great fight that continued for half a day and then the White Tiger could be defeated.
Book published by the speech of West Java Governor Ahmad Heryawan at that time also tells White Tiger was transformed into a human being to accompany the odyssey of Prince Pamanah Rasa and help him conquer the Kingdom of Galuh.
Even mentioned, in the event of an attack by the Mongol Empire (probably during Kublai Khan's time), the Elephant Kingdom got reinforcements from the White Tiger troops.
Although thick with various elements of myth, but this book is a very important source of history.
