Explanation:

The story begins with the gods, who were once fond of humanity, deciding to punish them with a great flood.
A humble king named Zus Sudra is somehow warned about the impending disaster.
Zus Sudra takes decisive action and builds a large ark to save the animals, possibly including humans as well.
There's a surprising turn of events where the gods change their minds and spare humanity from destruction.
As a reward for his good deeds and preparedness, Zus Sudra is granted immortality and made the ruler of the eastern lands beyond a place called Dilman.
This story shares some similarities with flood myths from other cultures, like Noah's Ark in the Bible. It highlights the themes of divine judgment, human folly, and the importance of righteousness. The reward of Zus Sudra with immortality and rulership suggests that the gods still held some favor towards humanity and valued Zus Sudra's just actions.
