In some sources said, around the year 1489 AD came to the island of Bali a purohita, writers and clergy named Danghyang Dwijendra. Danghyang Dwijendra was a Hindu priest, born in Kediri, East Java.

Danghyang Dwijendra at the time named walaka Nirartha. He married a daughter of Daha, east Java. In that place he also studied and in-diksa by-law. Kawikon bhiseka Nirartha awarded with Dwijendra Danghyang name.

Dharmayatra this should be implemented on the island of Bali, with the addition of a very heavy task of arranging in-law of customary and religious life, especially on the island of Bali. If deemed necessary dharmayatra it can be forwarded to the Sasak and Sumbawa Island.

Danghyang Dwijendra come to the island of Bali, was first set foot on the outskirts of the southwestern coast of Jembrana district for a moment to rest before continuing the journey dharmayatra. This is where Danghyang Dwijendra leave pemutik (there is also mention pengutik) with handle (starch), wood shelf. Starch wood shelf life and it turned out to be a tree thrives shelf. Until now the leaves are used as a complete wood shelf offerings in Bali. As a reminder and tribute to him, built a temple named Purancak.

After holding dharmayatra Sasak and Sumbawa Island, Danghyang Dwijendra heading south-west tip of Bali island, namely the arid region, full of stones called the local hills.

After some time living there, he was getting calls from Hyang Creator to be back soon amoring acintia Parama moksha. This is where Ida Rauh recalled Wawu Sakti (Icang eling) with samayas (promise) himself to return to his home. That's why this scene is called Cangeling and gradually became Cengiling until now.

While walking to get a new location which are considered eligible for Parama moksha, Ida Rauh Wawu Sakti very sad and crying inside her. Why? Because he was not willing to leave the world of this scale since swadharmanya not felt completely, which is arranging the lives of Hindu religion in the Sasak and Sumbawa. In his place this mengangis, and built a temple named Pura cry (tears of origin of the word.) Pura cry is located in Middle Village Banjar Adat Pecatu.

Ida Rauh Wawu Sakti have not found a place that is appropriate for Parama moksha. He then came to a place full of big stones. He was just alone. In this place, and built a temple named Pura Batu Diyi. Also in this place Danghyang Dwijendra feel less safe for Parama moksha. With a fairly exhausting journey of hunger or thirst, he finally arrived in the hills that always gets the hot sun. For the umbrella itself, he took a piece of leaf beetles and try to get drinking water sources. After the tour did not find the source of drinking water, finally Danghyang Dwijendra stuck his stick. Then the water Amertha. In this place and built a temple called Pura Umbrella with springs that are used Tirtha means until now.

Ida Rauh Wawu Sakti then moved again to another location, to amuse themselves before carrying out the seconds back to the origin. In this place and built a temple called Pura Selonding located in Banjar Kangin Desa Adat Pecatu. Once satisfied amuse themselves, Danghyang Dwijendra feel tired. So he is looking for a place to rest. I was so tired to the point that he was quiet (asleep). In this place and built a temple named Pura Parerepan (parerepan pasirepan mean, the inn) located in the village of Pecatu.

Approaching the final seconds to Parama moksha, Danghyang Dwijendra cleanse themselves and mulat sarira first. In this place until now there stood a temple called Pura Pangleburan located in the village of Banjar Adat Pecatu Kauh. After purifying himself, he went on his way to the location of the southwestern tip of Bali. This place is composed of rocks of the cliff. If the note from below sea level, seem mutually bertindih, shaped head perched on the cliff rocks, with a height of between 50-100 meters above sea level. Thus called Uluwatu.

Before Danghyang Dwijendra Parama moksha, he summoned the boat skipper who had brought it from Sumbawa to Bali. Squire boat named Ki Pacek Nambangan Boat. Sang Pandita for help for boat owners to bring clothes and wand to his fourth wife in Pasraman Griya Mas Sakti Banjar Pule, Mas village, Ubud, Gianyar. Clothing was a light green silk robe and wooden sticks. After Ki Pacek Nambangan Boats leave for the Pasraman Danghyang Dwijendra in Mas, Ida Rauh Wawu Sakti immediately toward a large rock pile east of the stones of the temple relics of the former Kingdom of Sri Wira Dalem Kesari. On top of that stone, Ida Rauh mengranasika Wawu Sakti yoga, like a dagger off so urangka, disappeared without a trace, amoring acintia Parama moksha.
