** In the story, the Sun God fell in love with the girl of Pyazuh at first sight and bestowed her a child. Though the girl was chased away from her house by her eldest brother for being pregnant out of wedlock without even knowing who's the father, her second eldest brother supported her and built a house for her and her unborn child to live in. After the child was born, gifts were bestowed to the mother and son for a year until the child's first birthday, which a beautiful horse was sent instead. The horse took the child to the heaven to meet the Sun God for a year, before the child was returned to the mother. By this time, the second eldest brother who supported her had passed away, leaving the mother with grief as she had no other family member left, so she rode the horse with her son to the heaven to meet the Sun God, who revealed to that he's the father of her child. The Sun God then granted the Irabu Island to the mother and son, who became the patron gods that protected the island. | ** In the story, the Sun God fell in love with the girl of Pyazuh at first sight and bestowed her a child.
