KEN AROK is known as the founder of the dynasty of kings Singasari and Majapahit. Even the kings of Demak, Pajang, and Islamic Mataram were actually descendants of the Ken Arok breed.
Ken Arok himself from his marriage with Ken Dedes has four children, three sons and one daughter. They are Mahisa Wunga Teleng, Panji Saprang, Agnibaya, and Dewi Rimbu. Meanwhile, her marriage to Ken Umang has three sons and one daughter, namely Panji Tohjaya, Panji Sudatu, Tuan Wregola, and Dewi Rambi. Meanwhile, Ken Dedes' marriage to Tunggul Ametung gave birth to one child named Anusapati.
Told from the descendants of Ken Arok from the book "Black and White Ken Arok from Glory to Destruction" by Muhammad Syamsuddin. Many became kings, both born from the womb of Ken Dedes and Ken Umang. The descendant of Ken Arok who became the first king was Mahisa Wunga Teleng. In the Pararaton book, it is stated that the child who is predicted to continue Ken Arok in Singasari. However, because of Anusapati's actions, the son of Tunggul Ametung and Ken Dedes, who carried out a coup against Ken Arok, finally the power of the Singasari Kingdom was held by Anusapati. After Ken Arok's death, Singasari split his power in two, Anusapati was crowned as the successor king of Ken Arok who led the Singasari Kingdom, while Mahisa Wunga Teleng became the leader of the Kediri Kingdom which at that time was a subordinate of the Singasari Kingdom.
Mahesa Wonga Teleng himself is the father of Narasinghamurti, the ancestor of the kings of Majapahit. Even in the Mula Malurung inscription, it is said that the King of Kediri Bhatara Parameswara is also identical with Mahesa Wonga Teleng, the son of Ken Arok. However, the next story of the descendants of Ken Arok is often at odds and conflicts for power. One of them was when Anusapati ascended the throne to become ruler of Singasari, who first overthrew his stepfather, Ken Arok. Meanwhile Anusapati finally abdicated the throne due to the actions of Tohjaya, Ken Arok's son from his marriage to Ken Umang.
Long story short, based on the Pararaton book, Tohjaya was known as the King of Singasari who ruled from 1249 - 1250. However, according to the Nagarakertagama book, Tohjaya was never a king in Singasari.
