SANGKURIANG
Once upon a time, a beautiful lady named Dayang Sumbi gave birth to a
boy which she named Sangkuriang. When Sangkuriang was old enough to
hunt, he took his mother’s dog Tumang (which according to this legend is
an incarnation of a god and also Sangkuriang’s father) and ordered
Tumang to chase after a boar. When Tumang did not follow Sangkuriang’s
order, Sangkuriang became very angry and he killed Tumang. He carved out
Tumang’s heart and brought it back to his mother.
Dayang Sumbi took the heart, cooked it and ate it. When she discovered
that the heart belonged to Tumang, her husband, she was overcome with
wrath. She sent her son away, but not before she hit him with a spoon
and left a deep scar on his head.
Sangkuriang travelled around the world. After a long while, he arrived
back in his village again without recognizing it. He saw a beautiful
lady and fell in love with her. Little did he know that she was his own
mother. He asked for her hand in marriage and she agreed.
Dayang Sumbi later realized that Sangkuriang was her son, as she
recognized the scar that she had inflicted. She tried to tell him and
break off the wedding, but he didn’t believe her and insisted to go on
with the wedding. Dayang Sumbi then set an impossible condition that
Sangkuriang has to fulfill in order to marry her: he should build her a
big boat and a lake by damming Citarum river, all within one night, and
it shall be finished by dawn. Sangkuriang agreed to the condition.
He built a boat from a large tree, and with the help of spirits, he
dammed the Citarum river with landslides. The water eventually rose and
filled the plain, turning it into a lake. When dawn was near, he was
almost ready. Dayang Sumbi realized this, so she prayed for divine
intervention. As an answer to her prayers, the eastern horizon lit up.
Deceived by the lights, cocks crowed and farmers rose for the new day,
thinking that dawn has broken
Sangkuriang was also deceived. He thought his endeavor has failed.
Angrily, he kicked the boat so that it toppled over. This boat became
Tangkuban Parahu mountain (tangkuban means upside down, and parahu means
boat). The pile of leftover woods became Mt. Burangrang, and the rest
of the big tree became Mt. Bukit Tunggul. The lake became lake Bandung
