In the meantime, apart from the Prabu Maha Sila’s royal
territory, there was a young man from the common people. His name was Manik
Angkeran. He heard that in the royal palace, the daughter of the king held the
contest.
“Anyone who succeeded in getting the eyes and the scale of

meeting the princess Luh Candrasasi. In his dream, Manik Angkeran fell in love
with Luh Candrasasi, so did Luh Candrasasi. Seeing the reality, Manik Angkeran
immediately appeared before his master in the white dragon cave. Manik Angkeran
asked for a help to his master to look for the eyes and the scale of the white
dragon.
“Manik Angkeran, you have to prepare to sacrifice anything
for the sake of your sweetheart, will you?” asked Manik Angkeran immediately

help to his master to look for the eyes and the scale of the white dragon.
“Manik Angkeran, you have to prepare to sacrifice anything

wore white coat. Manik Angkeran promised to sacrifice all he had, the spirit
and the body.
“Good. I also dare to make a sacrifice for the sake of other
person that need some help,” said Manik Angkeran’s master.
“Nah, now see the real of me,” said Manik Angkeran’s master.
Suddenly, the master’s body changed into a white dragon.
Manik Angkeran was really shocked to see this. “this is my
original shape actually. A white dragon. Because of my serious prayer, I am
allowed by god to change my body into humankind. And I must be willing to give
the help to whoever need help. Moreover, with you as the pupil that I really
love,” said Manik Angkeran’s master that has changed the shape became a white
dragon.
The white dragon immediately pried up his two eyes by himself
and shook his body hard, so as the scales on his body fell into the ground.
“Now, please receive my two eyes and ten slivers of the scale
of my body. And give those immediately to your sweetheart Luh Candrasasi,” said
white dragon.
“Now, please receive my two eyes and ten slivers of the scale
of my body. And give those immediately to your sweetheart luh candrasasi,” said

“And remember my words, if in the future you will have the
male child, give him a name “Naga Rangsang”.
Whereas, if it is a daughter, it is up to you to give her
name. and now it’s time for me to see Hyang Maha Agung.
After saying this, the white dragon was disappeared. With the
sad feeling, Manik Angkeran immediately took two eyes and ten scales of the white
dragon. Then, he hurried to appear before Princess Luh Candrasasi.
After arriving in the palace, Manik Angkeran handed over two
eyeballs and the scale of the white dragon. Of course, Princess Luh Candrasasi was
happy. She had seen the person who filled the requirement that was determined.
Then, not so long afterwards princess Luh Candrasasi married Manik Angkeran.
Prabu Maha Sila was really relieving.
But, Manik Angkeran was sad. He often felt hopeless.
“My dear husband, why do you look sad? Anything you are
thinking of?” urged Princess Luh Candrasasi.
“There’s something you have to know, my wife. In fact, my age
was very short. When the sun begins to set, I must leave this world,” revealed
Manik Angkeran sadly.
It can’t be described how the pain that was experienced by Luh
Candrasasi. Suddenly he fainted and his soul left his body.
At the time, Luh Candrasasi saw his husband’s soul was lifted
by god; the soul of Luh Candrasasi immediately pursued him.
“It is not the time for you to die?! You will die if you gave
birth a son,” the God said.
“No! I want to follow my husband! “Answered the soul of Luh
Candrasasi.
“I am not possible to give birth to a son, if my husband dies
now. Then please give my husband back, let him to return to the world. I do not
want to be apart from my husband,” said the soul of Luh Candrasasi. Hearing the
request of Luh Candrasasi’s soul, god immediately granted her request.

Manik Angkeran that came from the common people. God immediately wiped off the
forehead of the two souls. A miracle happened. Manik Angkeran and Luh Candrasasi’s
body moved and rose slowly. They lived again. The husband and wife lived
happily ever after.
