One day Sang Prabu made  up his mind to settle the matter by a show of  strength. 

After that, Prince of Blambangan, named Raden Begawan had won the competition. Unfortunately, the wicked fairy, Princess Segara fell in love with Raden Begawan and used magic power to render him unconscious and he forgot his wedding.

When Princess Teja Nirmala heard this, she was very sad. So a nice fairy took her to the Kahyangan.
