This situation made the gods in heaven angry with Mayadenawa's behavior. To fight the very powerful king, Bhatara Indra descended to the world (mercapada). Knowing this, Mayadenawa managed to poison a spring, which caused all of Bhatara Indra's troops to die when they drank the water. However, thanks to Bhatara Indra's supernatural powers, he stabbed his keris into the ground, and a spring appeared that could revive his troops. It is said that the spring was named Tirta Empul.

The victory over Mayadenawa's death was celebrated by the Peneges residents. Where Bhatara Indra ordered the Peneges residents to return to worship at Besakih Temple. This victory ceremony was named Asua Medayadnya, namely a sacrifice ceremony (caru) using a white horse named Onceswara. |

The group that tracked northwest failed to find Onceswara's horse. Then they built and settled in the Beratan area. |
