The [[Javanese language|Javanese]] ''[[Pararaton|Book of Kings]]'' (''Pustaka Raja'') records that in the year 338 [[Shalivahana era|Saka]] (416 AD)
{{Cquote|A thundering sound was heard from the mountain BumatraBatuwara ... a similar noise from KabumpiKapi ... The whole world was greatly shaken and violent thundering, accompanied by heavy rain and storms took place, but not only did not this heavy rain extinguish the eruption of the fire of the mountain Kapi, but augmented the fire; the noise was fearful, at last the mountain Kapi with a tremendous roar burst into pieces and sank into the deepest of the earth. The water of the sea rose and inundated the land, the country to the east of the mountain Batuwara, to the mountain RabumaRaja BumaBasa, was inundated by the sea; the inhabitants of the northern part of the Sunda country to the mountain Raja Basa were drowned and swept away with all property <ref>[http://webpages.charter.net/anthropogene/arc_vol1_is7.html webpages.charter.net]</ref> ... The water subsided but the land on which Kapi stood became sea, and Java and Sumatra were divided into two parts.
