The young boy told various events, to Phraya Chao Müang (the ruler of the city). Before his departure, Phraya Chao Müang gave him a Sali Kanchai Kaeo sword (two or four-edged dagger) completed with weapons in order to find the daughter. Then he said goodbye and traveled to various countries. He built a boat to cross the river, calling on the princess and asked different people. In that way he went in the direction and found a cage that imprisoned people. There are two people in that cage awaiting the giant serpent to eat. When the young child, Bodhisatta saw he went to help and requested to go into the cage that held both. Although both of them forbid the little child had no fear.
