The Goddess knew this, so She decided to save these couple only by destroying all others.

    The Almighty Goddess sent a messenger Musekha Sekhanama to Sodhung Lepmuhang in the form of a small fish of a stream. One day ,'' Sodhung Lepmuhang rose early and went to bathe in a nearby stream. There, he found a small fish that asked him to help by transferring him to a pond as a big fish was trying to swallow her. The fish also told him that he would save him from distress for this good act. Sodhung Lepmuhang picked her and put the fish into a pond. After sometime as he was passing by the pond he heard the voice of the same fish that request him to take her to a river as he was growing fast and the pond Would to be too-small for her, she was put into the river. Day rolled by, Sodhung Lepmuhang had forgotten the fish and the Work he did for her. One day as he was passing by the river, he heard the voice of the same fish that had grown very big. The fish again asked to put her into the sea as she was fast growing in size and the river would be too small for him. The fish further told him that she would come back In to help him a great deluge which is likely to come and destroy all men of the earth. She further instructed Sodhung Lepmuhang to build a big ship of many compartments where pair of animals, birds and other creatures should be kept. The food also should be collected and kept in the ship. The fish further told him that as all the earth would go down the water she should come near the ship along with his wife Laoti Phungphahangma. She would have a long horn where he should tie the top of the ship with a strong knot. The ship would not sink but, would follow her. Sodhung Lepmuhang heard the words of the fish and believed each word uttered by the fish. Sodhung Lepmuhang returned home and did everything as desired by the fish. A big ship was built having many compartments where pair of each animal, bird and other creatures were taken into the ship. The stock of food was also deposited inside the ship.
