Indonesian people, and in this case especially Java, and more specifically the Jogja people must have known the myths about the Parangtritis beach and the Jinn kingdom led by a queen named NYi Roro Kidol.
According to its history the origin of the naming of Parangtritis beach was when a fugitive from the Majapahit kingdom arrived at a large choppy sea area. He meditated in that place. A lot of water is "tumaritis" or dripping from "machetes" or rock crevices. He then named it as a machete, or means water that drips from a rock gap.
The myth then continued during the era of the kingdom of Mataram. Javanese kings are believed to have a special relationship with the ruler of the southern sea, Nyi Roro Kidul. That relationship is believed to last until now. Even if you read the article about Yogyakarta Palace Tourism, you will find that the construction of the palace is in harmony with the south coast.

A love relationship between the two and Nyi Roro Kidul then promised to help and keep in touch with the descendants of Panembahan Senopati.
