 Historical sources seems to be silenced on Mahendradatta's suspected earlier marriage, that it might be a scandal or not even took place.This suspicion was because although Airlangga was the eldest son of Mahendradatta, curiously he is not chosen as the crown prince of Bali, his younger brother Marakata and later Anak Wungçu rose to Balinese throne instead.Moreover, Mahendradatta sent Airlangga back to Java during his teenage.
