One day, King Kwakpa (Kokpa) of Khuman dynasty saw Irai Leima fishing and sporting in the Liwa river.

[4] One day, King Kwakpa got drunk with a juice of the roots of Tera plant (Bombax malabaricum) and went to meet Irai Leima, riding on a Hiyang boat.

Irai Leima was frightened seeing everything and ran away from her own father, passing through the Pakhra Ching, crossing through the Liwa river and hiding herself inside the granary storehouse of Lord Sarangthem Luwangba of Luwang dynasty.

When Lord Luwangba and his good lady Thoidingjam Chanu Amurei left the house for paddy fields, Irai Leima came out from her hideout and completed all the household works for them.

[4] Irai Leima came to the dream of Lord Sarangthem Luwangba and told him that she merged herself into the Luwang clan and spiritually became his daughter.

The Ningthouja King sent maibas and maibis, who performed investigations and finally verified that the strange lady was a goddess and she should be worshipped.

Still in present times, right from the reign of King Senbi Kiyamba (1467-1508 AD), the Sarangthem family members of Luwang clan annually organise a grand feast (Meitei: Chaklen Katpa) in honor of goddess Irai Leima.
