When Nirartha traveling around Bali to visit the holy places, he came anyway on Serangan Island. Then, on the west coast of the island was built temple attack. There, Nirartha can direct his thoughts together. Regarding this incident, in Dwijendra Tattwa, among others, described as follows .; "... after Nirartha purify themselves in the Mount Umbrella, then he proceeded to hug the coast the sea is very beautiful and entrancing headed north. The beach is quite scenic with sand passed bleached give dazzling natural beauty, coupled with wind herembusnya and oceans that can refresh his physical. "

Then again stated, "In this journey then he see two small islands Nusa Dwa. On this island Nirartha again rest to release tired, and this is where he compiled rhyme or kakawin Anjangsana Nirartha. After completion record and compose everything related with this poem, Nirartha again proceeded towards the north.

Not told how it does in the way, came Nirartha on a small island that attack. On the west coast of the island of Serangan, Nirartha rest while admiring the beauty of the natural surroundings. In that place he felt and witnessed a harmonious blend of the islands with the sea that surrounds attacks. Therefore, Nirartha resolved and decided to stay and spend the night a few days there.
