Sorry guys, you are losing me here.

I don't understand the connection being made between this raksasa ukiran and Raden Bima. Why would one of the Pandawa brothers be depicted as a demon. I also do not see the club Naga Sasra is talking about depicted in the right hand of this hilt. Isn't the figure just holding his knees. My understanding of the raksasa is that they are a class of demons, devouring giants, not just one identifiable deity. Am i wrong?
