King Phommathat ruled Bharanasi City. He had a son named Phurithat who was also his viceroy. One day, the king suspected that his son wanted to overthrow him to take his thrown. Thus, the king sent his son far away. He could return home only after his father died. Then Phurithat became an ascetic and lived near Yumana River. There was a divorced Nagi named Manavika who lived nearby all by herself. When they met they fell in love with each other. Later they married and had one son and one daughter named Sakhòn Phomma-that and Samutthasa respectively.
