After dreaming that she swallowed the moon and becoming pregnant, the unmarried Princess Doro Gung was condemned to death by her furious father. After failing in his attempt to execute her, the minister Ke Poleng realizes her innocence and sets her adrift on the sea. The princess comes ashore on a deserted island (later to become Madura) and gives birth to the hero Radin Sagara. With Ke Poleng's guidance, Radin Sagara grows to become a well-known and powerful warrior. However, when he learns that he has no father, his shame is so great that he and his mother disappear from the Earth. As told by Pak Moh. Hasan Sasra
