Raden Sukra was then murdered by Sutikna's bodyguard, and Prince Puger was forced to put capital punishment on her daughter, Lembah.

Amangkurat III ultimately sent his followers to assassinate Prince Puger and his family in 1704, but the target had escaped to Semarang.

Prince Puger in Semarang was supported by the Dutch East India Company (VOC), with condition that was beneficial to the latter.

According to the Babad Tanah Jawi, Amangkurat II was cursed on the condition that his descendants who would become kings, except for one, would rule only for a short period.

The Babad Tanah Jawi was, however, written in the era of Pakubuwono I's descendants, thus its accuracy is difficult to prove.

During a battle in Bangil, Untung Suropati was killed in action and his sons then joined with Amangkurat III in Malang.

Prince Blitar, son of Pakubuwono I, arrived in Surabaya and persuaded Amangkurat III to hand over all royal heirlooms, but he refused.

The Dutch East India Company then moved Amangkurat III to Batavia (now Jakarta), after which he was banished to Ceylon.
