Beliau adalah Danghyang Nirartha yang berhasil menguatkan kepercayaan penduduk Bali akan ajaran Hindu dan membangun Sad Kahyangan tersebut pada abad ke-16. Pada saat itu penguasa Tanah Lot, Bendesa Beraben, iri terhadap beliau karena para pengikutnya mulai meninggalkannya dan mengikuti Danghyang Nirartha. Bendesa Beraben menyuruh Danghyang Nirartha untuk meninggalkan Tanah Lot. Beliau menyanggupi dan sebelum meninggalkan Tanah Lot beliau dengan kekuatannya memindahkan Bongkahan Batu ke tengah pantai (bukan ke tengah laut) dan membangun pura disana. Beliau juga mengubah selendangnya menjadi ular penjaga pura. Ular ini masih ada sampai sekarang dan secara ilmiah ular ini termasuk jenis ular laut yang mempunyai ciri-ciri berekor pipih seperti ikan, warna hitam berbelang kuning dan mempunyai racun 3 kali lebih kuat dari ular cobra.
