The birds chirped happily, welcoming the sun. The breeze swayed the yellowing paddy stalks on the field. Water flowed from the spring in the mountains, following every bend of the
rivers. That was how it was in the beautiful land of Sunda, a land surrounded by mountains. In the land of Sunda, with its cool air and beautiful mountainous scenery, there was a kingdom called Galuh Kingdom. It was famous for its fertile land and its wise and benevolent king.
