Pandansalas

The country around Pandansalas lies near Blora in northeastern Java, amid teak forests west of the Bengawan Solo. In the sixteenth century Blora belonged to the domain of Jipang, ruled by Arya Penangsang under Demak. Later it passed to Pajang and Mataram; during the war of Mangkubumi in the eighteenth century, Blora was among the districts he brought under his control.
