There is a hill called Gujibong in the area where the Nakdonggang River flows in Gyeongsangnam-do.
One day, people gathered there and sang a song to the sky to ask them to drop the king for themselves.
Then a red line came down from the sky. The line was hung with a gold box wrapped in red cloth.
When people opened the box, there were six eggs in it. A few days later, the eggs hatched and six children were born. The first child among them was Kim Suro. He became the most powerful king of Gaya in the Gaya Confederacy. The other five children also became kings of the Dae Gaya, Ara Gaya, So Gaya, Seongsan Gaya and Goryeong Gaya respectively.
Over time, when Kim Suro became an adult, a woman suddenly came to Geumgwan Gaya by boat.
She was a princess in Ayuttha, India. Her name was Heo Hwang-ok. A god appeared in the dream of the king and queen of Ayutth kingdom and told her to marry King Suro of Geumgwan Gaya, so she was sent to Geumgwan Gaya.
King Suro Kim accepted God's will and married her. Currently, Koreans with the family name Heo in Gimhae are descendants of Princess Ayutta.
