<![CDATA[The arrival of Islam in Kutai Kartanegara was brought by two clerics namely Datu Ribandang and Datu Ditiro with the acceptance of Islam by the King of the XVII century Crown Prince Mulia. The two Muballig brought an appeal, inviting the king's family and people to embrace Islam. The king also accepted the condition that Tuan Tunggang Parangan could enter into a magic battle. This was done to fulfill the request of the Crown King, but it was agreed that if the Crown King lost, he would think twice about the creed or convert to Islam. But if Tuan Tunggang Parangan (Datu Ditiro) lost, he was willing to serve the Kingdom. After fighting the supernatural powers, all were won by Tuan Tunggang Parangan.
