Therefore, he was ready to face the attack from the troops of
heaven. A war cannot be avoided, a dreadful war that caused many
casualties from the both side.
However, the troop of Bhatara Indra was stronger; and finally
Mayadenawa's troops fled and left the King and his assistance,
which is called Si Kala Wong, alone. A stroke of luck was then
with Mayadenawa and his assistance because the war had to be stopped,
for the night has come.
At night, when the troops from heaven were still asleep, Mayadenawa
came and created water with poison near the beds of the troops
from heaven. He was then left that place, and walked with the
side of his feet, in order not left any trails.
That place, is called Tampak Siring (side step). The next day
the troop from heaven woke up from their sleep and drank the water
that has been created by Mayadenawa. All of the members of the
troops became sick.
Bhatara Indra found out the cause of the sickness and created
another source of water called 'Tirta
Empul'. Because of this source of holy water, the troops became
healthy again. The flow of the water from Tirta Empul became a
river called Tukad Pakerisan.
Bhatara Indra and his troop chased Mayadenawa who had run away
with his assistance. In his flight Mayadenawa transformed himself
into 'manuk raya' (a big bird). This place later is known as Manukaya
village.
Mayadenawa could not trick the powerful Bhatara Indra. Mayadenawa
transformed himself several times into 'buah timbul', 'busung',
'susuh', 'bidadari' and finally turned himself into a stone called
Si Kala Wong. Bhatara Indra shoots it with an arrow till he died.
