Byatta nevertheless, escaped and could flee to Bagan, where he served King Anawrahta, who later appointed him as his 'flower officer' for his superhuman strength. He rode his steed daily to get to Mount Popa over 30 miles south of Bagan, gather and offer flowers to the king when returned. He and a girl named Me Wunna on the mountain (legend says she is a floral ogress living on the mountain) fell in love with each other and begot two sons, known as the Shwe Hpyin Brothers.
