The Legend Of Mount “Tangkuban Perahu”
Once upon a time in west Java, Indonesia lived
a wise king who had a beautiful daughter.
Her name was Dayang Sumbi. She
liked weaving very much. Once she was
weaving a cloth when one of her tool fell to the ground. She was very tired at the time so she was too
lazy to take it. Then she just shouted
outloud.
‘Anybody there? Bring me my tool. I will give you special present. If you are female, I will consider you as my
sister. If you are male, I will marry
you’
Suddenly a male dog, its name was Tumang,
came. He brought her the falling
tool. Dayang Sumbi was very
surprised. She regretted her words but
she could not deny it. So she had to
marry Tumang and leave her father. Then
they lived in a small village. Several
months later they had a son. His name
was Sangkuriang. He was a handsome and
healthy boy.
Sangkuriang liked hunting very much. He often went hunting to the wood using his
arrow. When he went hunting Tumang
always with him. In the past there were
many deer in Java so Sangkuriang often hunted for deer.
One day
Dayang Sumbi wanted to have deer’s heart so she asked Sangkuriang to
hunt for a deer. Then Sangkuriang went
to the wood with his arrow and his faithful dog Tumang. But after several days in the wood
Sangkuriang could not find any deer.
They were all disappeared.
Sangkuriang was exhausted and desperate.
He did not want to disappoint her mother so he killed Tumang. He did not know that Tumang was his
father. At home he gave Tumang’s heart
to her mother.
But Dayang Sumbi knew that it was Tumang’s
heart. She was so angry that she could
not control her emotion. She hit
Sangkuriang at his head. Sangkuriang was
wounded. There was a scar in his
head. She also repelled her son. Sangkuriang left her mother in sadness.
Many years passed and Sangkuriang became a
strong young man. He wandered everywhere. One day he arrived at his own
village but he did not realized it.
There he met Dayang Sumbi. At the
time Dayang Sumbi was given an eternal beauty by God so she stayed young
forever. Both of them did not know each
other. So they fell in love and then
they decided to marry.
But then Dayang Sumbi recognized a scar on his
Sangkuriang’s head. She knew that
Sangkuriang was his son. It was
impossible for them to marry. She told
him but he did not believe her. He
wished that they marry soon. So Dayang
Sumbi gave a very difficult condition.
She wanted Sangkuriang to build a lake and a boat in one night! She said she needed that for honeymoon.
Sangkuriang agreed. With the help of genie and spirits
Sangkuriang tried to build them. By
midnight he had finished the lake by
building a dam in Citarum river. Then he
started building the boat. It was almost
dawn when he nearly finished it.
Meanwhile Dayang Sumbi kept watching on them. She was very worried when she knew this. So she made lights in the east. Then the spirits thought that it was already
dawn. It was time for them to leave. They left Sangkuriang alone. Without their help he could not finish the
boat.
Sangkuriang
was very angry. He kicked the boat. Then the boat turned out to be Mount
Tangkuban Perahu. It means boat upside
down. From a distant it looks like a
boat upside down.
