Sukreep flies to Palee's palace in Keetkin and loudly and with many insults challenges his brother to single combat.  Palee, with burning ears, seizes his sword and flies at Sukreep.  Near at hand, in the guise of a hermit, Phra Narai waits for a chance to end the combat, but the brothers are so similar in appearance that he cannot distinguish between them.  The outcome is that Palee gains the upper hand and, unwilling to kill Sukreep on account of the affection he still feels for him, disarms his brother and throws him down to earth in the vicinity of Mount Jakrawan.

Little the worse for wear, but extremely put out, Sukreep makes his way back to Phra Narai and asks him why he failed to keep his promise.  The god explains his difficulty and, having bound an armlet to Sukreep's wrist so as to be able to distinguish between him and his brother, tells him to return to the palace and challenge Palee once more.
