Summary

After an encounter with another god, two eggs fell, one hatching a rat and the other, later presented to Butter Guru, hatching into a beautiful girl named Louis Sri. Jealous goddesses conspired against her, leading to her demise and burial, from which a plant grew. Recognizing the plant as a goddess, Butter Guru instructed humans to protect it, as it symbolized prosperity.
