Singpho

Mankind was once destroyed because they had neglected the proper sacrifices as the slaughter of buffaloes and pigs. Two men, Khun litang and Chu liyang, survived with their wives and, dwelling on Singrabhum hill, became humanity's ancestors.

Frazer, 1919, 198.

In early times, a great flood came which killed all the wicked people of the lowlands. Modoi and his family, seven people in all, survived atop a high hill. Eight ages of a man's life passed, and in the ninth age, the nats Chirun and Woisin dried the flood with their thick, long hair.
