In order to fight with Dewata Cengkar in Medang Kamulan Kingdom (find here), Aji Saka left Sembada and Dora in the Medang Kawit Village to guard the heirloom keris and jewelries. Sembada and Dora were Aji Saka's strong loyal guards. They were ordered not to hand over the heirloom keris and jewelries to other persons, except Aji Saka personally.

Aji Saka succeeded in stepping down Dewata Cengkar in Medang Kamulan. He then was enthroned in the kingdom and made Medang Kamulan Kingdom became famous everywhere.


 

The Medang Kamulan Kingdom fame news was heard by Dora so as without Sembada's knowledge he went to Medang Kamulan. Before Aji Saka, Dora reported that Sembada did not want to go along. Dora then was decreed to pick up Sembada. He was also told if Sembada did not want to go, the keris and jewelries must be brought to Medang Kamulan.

As the loyal guard, Dora did everything he was told. However Sembada refused Aji Saka's invitation that said by Dora. He chose to defend the keris and jewelries that were entrusted by his master, Aji Saka.
Finally, the fight between both of them could not be avoided. The fight was very furious due to their match supernatural powers. The fight continued nightlong.  It took all their energy until they could not fight anymore and died side by side.

After long time hearing nothing about Sembada and Dora, Aji Saka sent Duga and Prayoga, the palace guards, to find out what happened with them. Soon he heard the death of Sembada and Dora and he felt very guilty. He realized that he had ordered them not to hand over the jewelries and keris to other persons except himself. In other way, he also ordered Dora to bring the jewelries and keris to Medang Kamulan Kingdom.

As his appreciation and to honor Sembada and Dora, Aji Saka created Sarimbangan literature. The Sarimbangan literature included Javanese alphabet which currently known as :
