Excerpt from The Gods Gave Rice
In the meantime, Kala Gumarang like the swine he had become maintained his pursuit of Devi Sri. In despair she appealed to the Gods to make her disappear. Her wish was granted. And, on the spot where she had vanished the same growths appeared as on the grave of Scintillating Jewel. With this difference however: the rice which grew from the body of Scintillating Jewel was rice grown on dry soil, that from the body of Devi Sri was Sawah rice, rice growing on flooded fields.
