The Bajang Child Swinging the Moon (146)

From a distance, Prabu Arjunasasrabahu saw how the sea became deadly, swallowing them up and leaving no trace of life at all.

Patih Suroto shouted to wake Sang Prabu (the king). But his screams echoed back, deafening his ears. If he were to climb onto the king's body and trample on him, he would have been only like an ant crawling up a mountain. Neither would he have given any strokes of a sword to the body of his lord.

Patih Suroto became desperate and did not know who to turn to for help. When he was about to give up, with a feeling of resignation he approached Prabu Arjunasasrabahu's ear and whispered in a weak voice, "Sang Prabu, Raden Sumantri has died." Patih Suroto was surprised to see Prabu Arjunasasrabahu suddenly squirming after hearing the name of Sumantri despite being mentioned so faintly.
