Dalem Samprangan was a king of Bali who governed under the suzerainty of the Javanese Majapahit Empire (1293-c. 1527), and belonged to a dynasty of immigrants from Java.
His residence was Samprangan in the present-day Gianyar regency, to the southeast of the ancient royal seat Bedaulu.
After waiting for hours in vain one morning, one of them, Kubon Klapa, left the palace in anger and looked up Dalem Samprangan's youngest brother Ketut, who was a well-known gambler.
In that way, the Samprangan palace quickly lapsed into obscurity, while Gelgel rose as the political centre of the island under the new king Dalem Ketut.
[3] No more is heard in the Babad Dalem about Samprangan which became a minor village immediately to the east of Gianyar.
