Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled in Teberu Lombok, who had a
beautiful daughter called Puteri Mandalika. Because of her beauty, princes and kings
from other kingdom around Teberu wished that she would be their wife. Six of them
came to Teberu and ask for her hand of marriage. They were Prince Bumbang, Prince
Aryo Johor, Prince SingaTrasak, Prince Daria Loka, Prince GunungPiring and Prince
Bungsu. Each prince wanted to win the hearth of PuteriMandalika.

Her father, the king of Teberu, was very confused and did not know what to do. If
he chose one prince instead of another then it would create jealousy and there could be
war against his kingdom. All the princes were handsome and powerful and so the king
allowed his daughter to make her own choice. But PuteriMandalika was confused too
and she also knew the dangerous risk that her kingdom and people would get, if she
chose either one of the princes.

After several days of serious thinking, PuteriMandalika met her parents and
asked her permission to announce her decision in front of all the princes and the people
of Teberu the next day in the beach. Early next morning, everybody gathered on the
beach. There was a gentle breeze with small waves breaking softly across the shore.
Everybody was looking at PuteriMandalika, waiting for her announcement.

Meanwhile, the six princes prayed in their heart that he would be the chosen one.
Then in a loud and clear voice, PuteriMandalikaSaid, ”Oh my beloved mother and
father, all the princes and especially the people of Teberu Kingdom. Today I would like
to announce that I will not give myself to any one of the princes, but rather to all people
of Teberu and my own kingdom.” Then PuteriMandalika threw herself into the sea from
