By his brother, Dewi Arimbi, Brajadenta was appointed as the king's representative holding the reign of Pringgandani state during the Goddess of Arimbi following her husband Bima lived in Jadipati.
The end of the story is told, because it does not agree with the appointment of Gatotkaca, the son of Goddess Arimbi with Bima as king Pringgandani, Brajadenta assisted by his three brothers, Brajamusti, Brajalamatan and Brajawikalpa, rebelled for wanting to absolute control of Pringgandani state.
Rebellion can be annihilated by Gatotkaca with the death of Brajalamatan and Brajawikalpa. Brajadenta and Brajamusti managed to escape and take refuge in his nephew King Prabu Arimbaji, the son of the late King Prabu Arimba who had become king in Gowasiluman state in the Tunggarana forest.
With the help of Bathari Durga, Brajadenta re-entered Pringgandini state to kill Gatotkaca. His efforts again experienced failure. Brajadenta was eventually killed in a battle against Gatotkaca. His soul is transformed into a magician and pervades in the gear of Gatotkaca. Since then Gatotkaca has supernatural powers; whoever gets bitten must perish.
