marriage, they had a son who they named Manik Angkeran.
Although Manik Angkeran was handsome and intelligent young man
but he had bed behavior, he like gambling. He often lost, so he had

Sidi Mantra prayed to the God. Suddenly he heard a voice, “Hi, Sidi
Mantra, in the crater of Mount Agung there is a treasure guarded by a
dragon, the Dragon named Basuki. Go there and ask that he would
give a little fortune”. Sidi Mantra went to Mount Agung to overcome
all of the problems. Arriving at the edge of Mount Agung, he sat
cross-legged. As he rang the genta and called the name of Naga
Basuki. In a few moments the Naga Basuki was out. After hearing
the purpose of Sidi Mantra, Naga Basuki gave him gold and
diamonds. After saying thank you, Sidi Mantra went home. He gave
all of the gold and diamonds to Manik Angkeran in hopes he would
not gamble anymore. Of course not long after, the treasure was gone
for a bet. Manik Angkeran once again enlist the help of his father.
Sidi Mantra of course refused to help his son.
Manik Angkeran heard from his friends that the gold and diamonds
was obtained from Mount Agung. Manik Angkeran knew to get there
he had to cast a spell, but he never learned about prayer and mantra.
So, he just took the genta that was stolen from his father while he
slept. As he arrived at the crater of Mount Agung, Manik Angkeran
rang his “genta”. What a fright he saw Naga Basuki. Having heard
the purpose of Manik Angkeran, he said, “I will give you treasures
that asked for, but you must promise to change your behavior. Do not
gamble anymore. Remember the law of karma”. Manik Angkeran
stunned to see the gold, diamonds, and jewels in front of him.
Suddenly there was malice in his heart that arised. Because he want
to get more possessions, he cut the nail of Naga Basuki when he
returned to the hive. Manik Angkeran immediately ran away and not
overtaken by the Dragon. But because the miracle of the Dragon,
Complication Manik Angkeran burned to ashes during the dragon licked his tracks.

As he heard the death of his son, Sidi Mantra was grief and
speechless. Soon he visited Naga Basuki and begged his son to be
revived. The Dragon accepted it, otherwise, its tail origin can return
to normal. With his power, Sidi Mantra could restore the dragon’s
tail. After Manik Angkeran turned a life, he apologized and promised
to be a good person. Sidi Mantra knew that his son had repented, but
he also understood that they were no longer able to live together.
“You have to start a new life but not here,” he said. In the blink of an
eye he was gone. In the place where he stood there was a water
source that grew larger that it became the ocean. With his cane, Sidi
Mantra made a line that separated him with his son. Now the place is
Resolution known as the line which is separating Java and Bali islands.
