Question

Specific term required. An impatient sultan wrapped his intestines around one of these objects in order to keep fighting, inspiring the wearing of these objects garlanded with jasmine by grooms during weddings. These objects, traditionally polished with poison by empu, receive different powers depending on designs called pamor. Gandring cursed one of these objects to cause the death of seven kings after Ken Arok seized it before it was completed. Another of these objects made from twenty metals called Taming Sari allowed Hang Jebat to sustain battle against the loyal Hang Tuah until the latter reclaimed it. A spell causes (*) Airlangga’s soldiers to aim these objects at their own chests, but they are granted invulnerability and escape unharmed during reenactments of the battle (10[1])between Barong and Rangda. For 10 points, name this wavy-bladed traditional Javanese dagger. ■END■ (0[3])
