The terrifying battle between Calon Arang and Mpu Baradah.
Soon Calon Arang and her followers were exhausted. Their energy was
drained and they were easily then beaten by Mpu Baradah.
Feeling guilty, Ratna Manggali apologized to her mother. She said that
whatever she had done was for the good of her mother and the people of
Girah.
Calon Arang surrendered to Mpu Baradah and pleaded that she would
purify her body when she died. She told Bahula to take a good care of Ratna
Manggali when she’s gone.
Mpu Baradah purified Calon Arang’s and her followers’ bodies before they
were buried.
In the end Bahula and Ratna Manggali lived happily in Girah, together with
other villagers. They always help each other and prioritize solidarity in their
lives until today.
Ratna Manggali was sad to see her mother wounded and Calon Arang regretted all her wrong doings.
