H Kert®' was also called Mas Sdyed, tot perhaps better known as;the grandfather of
D-.m5- Prang Widmo. After the defeat of: the,Chinese at Brambdnmt, this prince
. : .had also returned to court; but being coldly received, again ’reared* the
standard;of revolt, and escaping into, the southern mountains assumed the
title of Susdnan Adi Prakdsa.
| .Mangtminang, the minister of SiMnan Kdning, and Merta P&ra, had
.established [themselves in the province of Sukawati, refusing to come into
any terms« They"invited MangkuMmi to come over to .them',-and promised
their assistance in raising him. to the throne. MangkuMmi accepted
their invitation$ but finding himself deceived by them, he, by his own
exertions and thps,e ;of .the son of Merta F4rd, obtained possession; of that
province, rand established himself'tfhder the title- of Pangerart Advpdtv Of
Sukowdti. He was, however, afterwards induced to listen to terms, offered
him by the SvQ&fuw, who again received him into favour, and conferred
upon him the independent government of Sukowdti. But these terms'were
not granted by the emperor without exiting the jealousy and apprehensions
of the minister Pringa.Laya, who easily availed himself of an early opportunity,
whenthe Governor-General, Van Imhoff, was on a visit to SAra
JZerta, to represent the danger arising from any subject possessing so independent
and extensive authority, as that recently granted by the SusunaO
to MangkuMmi.
It was accordingly determined to deprive MangkuMmi of this tract df
country, and the resolution was personally cottrifiunicated to him. in the
hall of audience. The chief feigned obedience ; tot, in the course. ;of the
night, secretly. Quitted the capital, and assembling his party proceeded to
Sukowdti, where he again reared the standard o f Rebellion. From' the

took place in the Javan year I 67I»
The Dutch now took an active part in the war, but found that they had
enemies to contend with who possessed considerable ability and enterprise,
and who in the past disturbances of the country had gained much experience.
Pdku Nagdra was, in the first instance, defeated, and fled for
protection to MangkuMmi, who received him kindly, gave him his daughter,
Bdtu Banddra, in marriage, and appointed him his Pdteh, or minister.
