She loved Ratna Mangali very much. When she heard people talked about her daughter, she got angry. She cursed the village. People got ill and die.

The king sent his best soldier to arrest Calonarang. But, they failed. Then, the king called Mpu Baradah. The King asked for his help.

Mpu Baradah sent his student Mpu Bahula to Girah Village. Mpu Baradah told Mpu Bahula to propose Ratna Mangali. Calonarang was very happy when Mpu Bahula proposed Ratna Mangali. She knew that people would not talk about her daughter anymore. She gave her daughter a big wedding party.
