The story tells of King Sangkassa seeking for a man to become a partner of his daughter. The king’s daughter was named Princess Suganda Rajakaumari. When she was sixteen years old, she was immensely beautiful. At the time, no man in the city was suitable for her partner. Therefore, the king organized a festival and invited all one hundred and one kings to join in in order to see them. Even if the king could find any king suitable for his daughter, he would marry him with his daughter and also give him his royal property as well.
