A tribe called the Munda, specifically seven brothers, decided to address this issue. They successfully shot arrows and killed six of the suns. However, the seventh sun hid behind a hill. The absence of the suns led to widespread darkness, causing chaos among the animals as predators could not find prey and other creatures encountered obstacles. To find a solution, the animals convened a meeting. A rabbit informed them about the surviving sun hiding behind the hill. The lion, asserting his role as king of the forest, volunteered to call out to the sun, imploring it to return and shine upon them. Despite the lion's plea, the sun did not respond.
