This Dharmayatra be implemented on the island of Bali, with the addition of a very heavy task of arranging in-law of customary and religious life, especially in the island of Bali. If necessary Dharmayatra it can be forwarded to the Sasak and Sumbawa Island.
Danghyang Dwijendra come to the island of Bali, first set foot on the southwestern coastal region of Jembrana for a moment to rest before continuing the journey dharmayatra.

With a fairly exhausting journey of hunger and thirst, he finally arrived in the hills area who always got the hot sun. For the umbrella away, he took a piece of leaf beetles and try to get drinking water sources. After the tour did not find the source of drinking water, Dwijendra Danghyang finally stuck his stick.

The Pandita for help to skipper a boat carrying clothes and his staff to his fourth wife in pasraman Griya Sakti Mas on Banjar Pule, Mas village, Ubud, Gianyar.
