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. As his appreciation and to honor Sembada and Dora, Aji Saka created Sarimbangan literature. The Sarimbangan literature included Javanese alphabet which currently known as :
1. Ha-na-ca-ra-ka, meaning there were two great guards 2. Da-ta-sa-wa-la, meaning fighting each other 4. Ma-ga-ba-tha-nga, meaning they finally died as match (Javanese Folk Tale)
