Once in Heaven, linked to Patara Guru (in the former Hindu Javanese with Shiva), the greatest god ordered all gods and goddesses to contribute to their ability to build a new palace. Anyone who has disobeyed this commandment is considered lazy and loses his arms and legs. Upon hearing the command of Goro Patara, one of the gods, Antabuga (Ananta Boga), the god Naga, was very anxious. He had no arms or legs and did not know how to do the job. Anta was a snake and could not work. He asked for advice from Patara Narada, the younger brother of Patara Guru. Unfortunately, Narda was also perplexed by his bad luck. Anta became very upset and wept.

As he cried, three tears fell to the ground. Miraculously, after touching the ground, these tears became three beautiful shiny eggs that looked like jewels or pearls. Patara Narada advised him to present these "gems" to the guitar of Patara in the hope that the gift would calm him down and that he would judge Ada's disability.

With three eggs in her mouth, Anta went to the Patara Guru Palace. On the way, an eagle approached him and asked him a question. Antia is silent and can not answer the question because he holds eggs in his mouth. But the bird thought that Anta was arrogant and became angry and then began the attack on Anta. As a result, an egg fell on the ground and was broken. Anta quickly tried to hide in the jungle but the bird was waiting for her. The second attack left Anta with only one egg to offer to Guru Patara. The broken brooks fell on the ground and turned into a pig like Clovis and Baudog Paso. Later, Kalabuat and Budu Basu were adopted by the Sapi Gumarang cow.
