Sarikula was involved in a power struggle with Buisan, which ended with him being ousted by his younger brother to Sulu in 1597.

Sarikula married Raja Putri, one of the daughters (or a sister) of Sultan Muwallil Wasit (Rajah Bongsu) from the Sulu Sultanate. Their daughter, Putri Mampey, married her first cousin, Sultan Kudarat, the son of Buisan.
