SUMMARY
King Indarapatra asked for help from his brother Sulayman to kill those monsters

who were bringing disaster to the land of Mindanao. Sulayman killed three monsters,

but when he killed the third monster, the wings of that fell into him. That's why King

Indarapatra got alarmed and followed his brother. He cried when he found the body

of his brother, then saw a small jar of water and poured it on the body of his brother,

and Sulayman came to life again. He let Sulayman return home and Indarapatra

continued his journey to Mt. Gurayn, where he killed the seven-headed bird. After

this, he searched to see if some people were still alive, and while searching, he saw a

beautiful woman, but she disappeared through the hole. Then, after that, he saw an

old woman, and the old woman led him to the cave where he found the headman and

some of his people. The headman and the people were thankful to him. That's why

the headman gave his daughter to be married to Indarapatra.
