1.In the days of Chingkhu Telheiba, King of Moirang , Chingkhu Akhuba was the crown prince , who's the younger brother of the King. 2.The King had no child.The daughter of the crown prince was Thoibi Leima. And in those days Yoithongnai waa King of the Khumans and he had three sons, Haoramhal, Haoramyaima and Haoramtol Louthiba.

3.One day, it happened that Thoiba, the King's soothsayer, and his wife, Chaobi Nongnangmachak, went fishing in a lake at the foot of a hill whereupon there grew a Heibung tree.

4.As the soothsayer rested in the shade of the tree, he saw thereon & necklace of beads which he plucked down and gave to his master, the Khuman King, who set it on the neck of his son Haoramhal.
