It occurred to me that if Bhima is the empu and Arjuna manning the bellows in the Candi Sukuh carving then the creation of this keris is attributed to the Kshatriyas caste since Bhima/Arjuna both belong to that caste.
Do pande in anyway connect their caste with the Kshatriyas (warrior) caste?
It would seem logical since weapons and warriors are inseparable
