The fourth narrative of the origin of the Ahom kings:     

The beginning of the fourth narrative of the origin of the Ahom kings is different from the previous narratives. It says that after the destruction of the earth by the great flood, the Creator Brahma wanted to create man three times. Every time he failed, he planted a gourd creeper. In time, the trees sprouted and people came out of the fruits. Those people were not civilized. They behaved like animals. Indra, the king of the gods, sent the god Mars or  Mangal to teach the people about civilization. The god Mars taught the people various lessons. That was the Satya Yuga , the first or golden age . There was harmony among the people. Everyone eats on the same plate or maihang. They were all like children of the same mother. That is how the Satya Yuga passed. Even in the Treta-Yuga, the second or silver age of the Hindus,  people lived in peace and harmony. As the Dwapara-Yuga, the third of the four yugas comprising 8,64,000 years, entered, there were quarrels among the people. The strong began to oppress the weak.

 In such circumstances, they all began to pray to Indra, the king of the gods. The god Indra, also thinking of the welfare of mankind, asked Indra's son Thenkham to come to the plains of the earth with the creature of the gods, Kaichengmung, with dhak or drum, swords, policies, staffs, umbrellas, leathers, stone chisel, stool , gold and silver mat. Thenkham did not want to come himself and begged Indra to send his two sons Khunlung and Khunlai. Indra later sent Khunlung and Khunlai down from heaven with golden ladders to rule the people of the plains. Khunlung and Khunlai landed at a place called Murimangram from heaven. The Ahom kings of Assam descended from Khunlung and Khunlai, grandsons of that Indra.
