SANGKURIANG

Narrator: Long ago, in a time shrouded in enchantment, there lived a woman of

extraordinary beauty, known as Dayang Sumbi.

Narrator: One day, as she quilted peacefully, fate intervened. Her quilt slipped away
from her abode. In a moment of divine invocation, she uttered a prayer to the Gods.

Dayang Sumbi: (Prayed) "If a man retrieves my quilt, he shall be my husband. If a

woman, she will be my sister."

Narrator: Unexpectedly, a male dog named Tumang discovered the fallen quilt.

Tumang: “Now that I have fulfilled your vow, will you marry me.”

Narrator: True to her vow, Dayang Sumbi upheld her promise and married the faithful
Tumang.

Narrator: Their union brought forth a child named Sangkuriang. However, the identity
of his father remained a secret concealed in the folds of silence.

Narrator: One fateful day, as Sangkuriang and Tumang ventured into the forest for a
hunt, fortune eluded them. Blaming Tumang for their misfortune, Sangkuriang, in a fit of
rage, ended the loyal dog's life and brought its hearts to his mother.

Narrator: Discovering this heart-wrenching act, Dayang Sumbi, in sorrow and anger,
struck Sangkuriang's head with a heavy spoon and, with a heavy heart, bade him to leave.

Narrator: Many years later, Sangkuriang stumbled upon a house in the heart of the
forest, unknowingly entering the presence of his own mother, Dayang Sumbi.

Narrator: Unaware of their true relationship, Sangkuriang found himself captivated by

the beauty of the woman within. Driven by a love unknown to him, he pressed her to
marry him.

Narrator: However, the truth surfaced, revealing the unthinkable—mother and son were
entwined in this unintended love story.

Dayang Sumbi: (Crafty) To marry me, you must accomplish an impossible task. Build a
grand boat overnight, completed by the break of dawn.

Sangkuriang: (Determined) I accepted your challenge.

Narrator: With the aid of spirits, Sangkuriang toiled to fulfill the impossible request.

Narrator: As the boat neared completion, Dayang Sumbi, fearing the consequences of
this forbidden love, devised a cunning plan.

Narrator: She urged the women nearby to mimic the sounds of grains being hit, creating
a false dawn. The spirits, deceived, fled, leaving Sangkuriang with an unfinished boat.

Narrator: Enraged and heartbroken, Sangkuriang kicked the boat, and in a twist of fate,
it transformed into the mountain now known as Tangkuban Perahu. A silent testament to a
tale of love, loss, and the enduring power of the mystical.
