Chapter V
King Rangawuni was survived by his son Sri Krtanagara. Mahisa-champaka also had a son, Wijaya. Sri Krtanagara was crowned as the king, with the consecration title of Bhattara Siva-Buddha. He had an officer who was the son of the chief of Nanka village. His name was Banak-wide and his title was Arya Wiraraja. Apparently the king did not trust him, so he was removed and sent to East Madhura to serve as the governor of Sumenep province.
When Sri Krtanagara was consecrated, the Prime Minister was Mpu Raganatha. Although he had always served the king well and devotedly, the king did not think much of him and demoted him to an inferior position. His place was given to Kebo-tenah and Panji Aragani. Mpu Raganatha was transferred as a Superintendent (or Supreme Judge) in Tumapel. An important event of the regime was that king Krtanagara killed the villainous (Kalana) Bhaya. Then he sent an expedition to attack Malayu. While this expedition to Malayu was in progress there were fewer guards in Tumapel. Panji Aragani accompanied the invading army up to Tuban region and then returned to Tumapel, as it was his duty to supervise king Krtanagara's household. There was rivalry between king Krtanagara and King Jayakatwang the ruler of Daha. He was the enemy of king Krtanagara. He did not pay any heed to a possible surprise attack from his enemy. He did not realise his error. Banak-wide was forty-three when king Krtanagara launched his expedition to Malayu. He was a close friend of king Jayakatwang. Jayakatwang had sent a message to Banak-wide, also known as Arya Wiraraja of Madhura. Then Wiraraja sent a letter to Jayakatwang in reply.
