The Origin of Mount Tangkuban Perahu

Once upon a time, in a kingdom, there lived a stunningly beautiful princess named Dayang Sumbi. Because of her beauty, kings, princes, and nobles fought each other over her.


Orientation
Knowing the chaos, Dayang Sumbi asked her father's permission to go into exile. For the sake of peace, King Sungging Perbangkara allowed his daughter to live alone in the forest, accompanied by a dog named Tumang.





Evaluation

One day, while Dayang Sumbi was weaving, one of her tools fell. Reluctant to retrieve it, she swore that whoever picked up her tool would be her husband, and if she was a woman, would be her sister.


Evaluation
Tumang retrieved her tool, and obligated to keep her oath, she married him and bore him a son named Sangkuriang. However, Tumang was actually a very handsome god, but he was banished from heaven and turned into a dog due to a mistake.



Evaluation
One day, Sangkuriang was asked by his mother to bring her a deer's liver. After hunting for a long time and not finding a single deer, Sangkuriang spotted a wild boar and immediately ordered Tumang to chase it.



Evaluation
However, Tumang recognized the boar as Sangkuriang's own grandmother, Wayung Hyang, a goddess who had also been banished from heaven, so Tumang disobeyed Sangkuriang's orders. Furious, Sangkuriang killed Tumang and took his liver to give to his mother to cook and eat.





Evaluation
After Dayang Sumbi learned that her son had taken the liver of Tumang, her own husband, she was furious and struck her son on the head with a ladle, injuring him.




Complication

Because of this, Sangkuriang left home and went wandering, learning from powerful figures. Regretful of her actions, Dayang Sumbi begged the gods for forgiveness and continued to meditate, thus becoming eternally young.
