Selections from the Book of Namwaran

1Now this was the great prophecy of Namwaran. And behold after many years Namwaran did finish gathering the records of the Mahardika. And he had taken them to a secret cave and hidden them there. And the number of these records was great. And Namwaran had grown to a great age and had endured much hardship from the gathering of these records. For behold he had traveled the whole land round about to gather these records. And it was his intention to bring many of these records together and form a book which would go forth among the descendants of Suran in the last days. But behold Namwaran did pass away before he could begin the work. And he died in favor with God for he had brought to pass much righteousness and he was a righteous man.
