To choose the one that would be his son in law, the king had an arrow shooting competition. The best one would be Mandalika's husband.
On the day of the competition, those princes shot their arrows. All of them did it perfectly.The king found it difficult to choose. Therefore, the princes began to fight and kill each other.
Princess Mandalika was so desperate. She didn't want anyone killing each other because of her. That's why she decided to go to the sea and plunged herself into it. She died in the south sea of Lombok. The king and princes were sad and felt quilty. They regretted and stoped fighting
