Described as a Javanese story. It tells of two divine brothers Sang Dermadewa and Dewa Kisna Indra. The latter became a hermit on the mountain Puspagiri and the former became king of Kuripan. Dermadewa's sons became the kings of Kuripan, Daha, Gegelang, and Wirabumi. His daughter Candra Dewi became a hermit.
