“Are you Ki Ageng Mangir Wonoboyo, my Lord?

” Baru Klinting
asked as he bowed before him.

“Yes, I am Ki Ageng Mangir Wonoboyo,” Ki Ageng Mangir

Wonoboyo answered calmly.

“If so, then my Lord is the one I have been looking for all this
time. Pardon me, my name is Baru Klinting. I am the son of
Sarinem, your wife. Please, acknowledge me as your son, my
Lord,” Baru Klinting begged to Ki Ageng Mangir Wonoboyo.

However, Ki Ageng Mangir Wonoboyo could not accept it as

Baru Klinting had thrown many places in turmoil. Ki Ageng
Mangir Wonoboyo, nevertheless, still gave a chance to Baru
Klinting if he wanted recognition as his son.

“O, Baru Klinting, I am willing to accept you as my son, but there

are some conditions to meet!” demanded Ki Ageng Mangir
Wonoboyo.

“What are they, my Lord? Do tell!” Baru Klinting asked him

eagerly.

“There is only one condition, if your body is able to wholly

encircle the slopes of Mount Merapi, then I will be willing to
accept your prostration to me!” Ki Ageng Mangir Wonoboyo
described the condition.
