Palakka was a prosperous kingdom, ruled by Arung (King) Palakka. He was a wise and just king. All people of Palakka always loved and praised their king. However, behind his greatness as Arung, there was something that worried him. He was getting old and he had no heir to his throne. The King had a daughter, We Tenri Lawi. She had married La Tompiwanua, a prince from Cinnotabi Kingdom, but she had no children yet. Every day, Arung Palakka incessantly prayed to the gods to grant him a grandson in this lifetime. He prayed for a direct male descendant to inherit the throne of Palakka Kingdom. The people of Palakka also shared their king’s worry. They sincerely prayed that a boy would be born in the palace.
