The two brides met in the palace hall..
The two looked at each other in amazement, indeed some days did not meet the two increasingly visible shine, shining,
"great and handsome", Inner Dyah Pramodhawardani
"the more beautiful and authoritative .".", Rakai Pikatan's mind
The two of them threw each other a very charming smile.
***
In front of the altar of worship, the two brides sat side by side listening to the chants of praise and prayer strings for the ancestors, led by an elder of the Mahayana Buddhist custom.
In this procession, the bride and groom will circle the altar of a deity for seven rounds. The guardians of the two brides sat in the same room.
Maharaja Gusti Samaratungga felt so happy that tears unconsciously escaped .
"Our son is already a big brother, he is ready to carry out the great task of two dynasties.." the view of Emperor Gusti Samaratungga looked far away, like feeling the presence of Goddess Shana.
"thank you kangmas.."
The figure of Goddess Shana who showed her form in a bodhisatva dress, clean white shining and a happy smile adorned her face...
"Adinda... keep waiting for me to come to you, wait for me at the gate..." The words of the emperor Gusti Samaratungga to Goddess Shana who of course in the spiritual world.
"Mantu's son..." Grandfather dynasty patted the shoulders of Maharaja Gusti samaratungga so as to remain aware not to show his weak side in front of the guests present.
"I'm sorry my wife's father-in-law is there..." Emperor Gusti Samaratungga stared at one corner of the altar, as if to show his wife there.
"I know my daughter-in-law I see what you see, and I also feel what you feel." said Grandpa Garung.
A moment later the two guardians of the bride and groom appear again solemnly following the sacred ceremony.

After circling the altar seven times, Rakai Pikatan and Dyah Pramodhawardani were led by customary elders to take the two main guardians.
The first was Dyah Pramodhawardani resting at his father's feet, begging his blessing and kissing the right hand of Emperor Gusti Samaratungga.
So is Rakai Pikatan who rested at the feet of Rakai Garung, while asking for prayers and blessings on himself and his wife.
There was not the slightest noise when the procession took place, only the sound of the chanting of prayer and praise prayers performed by monks and traditional elders.
both are solemn to carry out what is directed by customary elders.

Rakai garung felt a great newness, when his only granddaughter insisted on asking for prayer and blessing from him, really inwardly wanted to embrace and say,
"I'm your grandfather nduk cah ayu... "
But of course it must be withheld, seeing the reflection of Dewi Shana on Dyah Pramodhawardani is a blessing for Rakai Garung..

After the bride and groom have completed the sungkem stage, they then return to follow the final stage in the sacred ceremony, namely, asking for the blessing of the bodhisattvas who are invisible to the palace's main hall.
If anyone can see the presence of bodhisattvas it means that their inner eyes are very sensitive and clean. And the number of bodhisattvas present certainly outnumbered the humans in the main hall of the palace.
The bodhisattvas present were numerous, infinitely many if counted.. The bodhisattvas pray through Rapalan mantras of compassion, wisdom spells, foster compassion spells, and other mantras..
Invisibly also the bodhisattvas gave blessing to the two brides, especially the descendants of the Syailendra dynasty, Dyah Pramodhawardani.
While Rakai Pikatan who can also see everything very clearly, following the procession solemnly does not feel that the Bodhisattva is no better than a shiva hindu.
Because in fact, Rakai Pikatan also felt the holy power of the spirit of the Shailendra dynasty ancestors especially those from the bodhisattvas present.
