A prince of Jengggala who was vary fond of cathing dragonflies, one day was doing so near mount Kelud. Chasing after a golden dragon fly the prince disappeared in  dense forest near a erupting mountain. A few years later, emerged a frog believed to be the incarnation of the lost prince.
One day a frog encountered a princess of Daha whose beauty enchanted him. The frog fellin love with her but the princess would only marry him if he could transform himself back into a human being.
The frog then went into asceticism and by the grace of God Wisnu he became a handsome young man, resembling the lost prince of Jenggala.
Finally they were married and lived happily there after in the Kingdom of Kahuripan, a new name of Jenggala.
