Summary
The giant Kalapracona wants to marry the heavenly fairy Supraba. When his request is denied, he decides to attack the heavens. Meanwhile, Bima's wife Arimbi has given birth to Jabang Tetuko. His umbilical cord is so strong that even the strongest metal cannot cut through it. The Gods offer the sheath of the magical sword, Kunta, to Bima in order to cut the umbilical cord. In exchange, the baby will need to fight the giants who are attacking the heavens. The baby is killed by the giants. The Gods revive him by throwing him into a volcanic crater together with powerful weapons. The baby reemerges as an almost indestructible child, who singlehandedly defeats the giants and kills Kalapracona.

16. These lines correspond to a fragment from the Asmaradana Gubahan song, written by Yasapidupra I. This fragment has been incorporated into several popular songs, such as Ladrang Asmaradana and Langgam Dadi Ati. The full fragment is gĕgaraning wong akrami, dudu banda dudu rupa, amung ati pawitané, luput pisan kĕna pisan, lamun gampang luwih gampang, yèn angèl angèl kĕlangkung, tan kĕna tinumbas arta, which means "that which keeps a household together is not a shape and it is not money, it is the heart which keeps it together, sometimes we will fail and sometimes we will succeed, that which is easy will feel even easier, and that which is hard will feel even harder, these things cannot be bought with money" YNM.
