He belonged to a dynasty stemming from the Majapahit Empire of Java, which had its palace (puri) in Gelgel, near Bali's south coast.

[2] He may therefore have succeeded Dalem Di Made, although later Balinese historical texts do not actually mention him as ruler in his own right.
One text mentions that he directed his troops against the army of the Javanese Muslim Mataram kingdom in 1646.
Dutch sources relate that the Dutch East Indies Company sent an embassy to Bali in 1651, but found on arrival that the unnamed king had recently died, and that chaotic internecine wars raged on the island.
