'By the patronage of these and other chiefs, related to them, the new faith spread rapidly. Now king Bravijaya sent his minister (pati) Gajah Mada against Sunan Giri. The latter frightened away his enemy by a show of miraculous power. After the death of Giri royal forces came again and dug up his tomb. But a swarm of bees arising therefrom drove back the royal force. Raden Patah, instead of joining his father, now formed a coalition with the other Muhammadan chiefs, and proceeded against Majapahit. King Bravijaya died, and the suzerainty of Majapahit passed over to Demak after a rule of forty days by Giri. Thus Raden Patah became the first Sultan of Demak.'
