Prahasta, a demon killed by Anila in Ramayana
In the puppet version, especially in Java, Prahasta served as a patih in Rahwana's government. He was known wisely but was not listened to by his nephew's counsel.
Prahasta's real name is Sukesa. He has a sister named Sukesi. Both were born from the womb of the princess of Mantili Kingdom named Danuwati who was married by Sumali king of Alengka Kingdom. Although Sumali is a giant, but Sukesi and Sukesa are born human like their mother.
One day a friend of Sumali named Wisrawa came to seek Sukesi as his son-in-law. Wisrawa has a son named Danapati who craves Sukesi as his wife. But Sukesi just want to marry someone who can teach the science of enlightenment named Sastrajendra Hayuningrat.
Wisrawa claimed to master the science but can not carelessly teach it. Sumali who was interested after knowing the properties of science begged for him taught the science. In a closed studio Wisrawa taught the science of Sastrajendra Hayuningrat to Sumali.
Sumali also gained enlightenment and changed manjadi man.
Meanwhile Sukesa is curious to lurk from the outside. Because of unauthorized eavesdropping, his body was transformed into a giant. From that time on he used the name Prahasta.
Long story short, because a mistake, Sukesi actually married to Wisrawa, not with Danapati. From the marriage was born Rahwana, Kumbakarna, Sarpakenaka, and Wibisana.
