"Golden Carp" is the Buddha's natal story and a beautiful narrative novel.

A poor couple gave birth to a golden carp and had been kept in a water tank for ten years. One day, a merchant exchanged a piece of cloth for the golden carp and gave it to King Merula. The golden carp turns into a beauty at night and appears in front of the king, who falls in love with her at first sight. The vicious queen, Nawali, instructed the palace maid to kill the golden carp, but the golden carp was rescued by Payaying and lived happily in the palace in the forest. After hardships, the king recovered the golden carp and made her the queen.

The Queen of Golden Carp gave birth to Prince Suwana Wensha. When the prince was fifteen years old, he dived into the sea to chase a dragon and drifted in a foreign land because he was lost. He learned profound magic in a stone cave under the sea and obtained the treasure to defeat the enemy. Prince Suwana Wengsha passed by two demon kings one after another, married the daughters of the two demon kings, and defeated the enemy with the divine ring and vajra many times. The prince returned to his hometown and inherited the throne. Everyone accompanied the Queen Mother Golden Carp to his distant hometown to visit the Queen Mother's elderly and poor parents, and took the old man back to the palace to enjoy his old age. King Suwanna Wengsha was extremely filial, willing to give, adhered to the precepts, governed the country well, and eventually crossed the world and headed towards Nirvana.
