RANGGAWUNI managed to avenge the death of his father Anusapati. He later became king in Singasari. Anusapati is the son of Tunggul Ametung and Ken Dedes.
In a battle, Tohjaya (son of Ken Arok and Ken Dedes) who had previously killed Anusapati was seriously injured and fled out of town. However, because his injuries were so severe he finally died in the village of Katang Lumbang, whose location is still unknown. After defeating Tohjaya, Ranggawuni ascended the throne with the title Wisnuwardhana. Ranggawuni controls the government with Mahesa Campaka, son of Mahesa Wong Ateleng. Mahesa Campaka received the title Ratu Angga Bhaya, namely the official in charge of security (danger). In his reign, Singasari felt safe.
One of Wisnuwardhana's wise actions was to appoint his son, Kertanagara, as viceroy (yuwa raja) in 1254. Yuwa raja's position was as Viceroy, the Crown Prince who would succeed the King after the King died. A cadre step that should be followed. Wisnuwardhana reigned between 1248 and 1268. He was the only Singasari king who died a natural death. His ashes were placed in Waleri in his manifestation as Shiva and Jajaghu (Jago Temple) as Buddha Amughapasa.
