Once there
was a king of evil from the kingdom of Iman Imantaka whose name is Niwata
Kawaca. He was a powerful and cruel king who had conquered many kingdoms. The
invincible king then had another ambition. He wanted to marry a beautiful angel
from the heaven of god whose name is Dewi Supraba. He came to god Indra to
propose for the beautiful angel. But the god refused. He thought that the king
was not a good husband for the angel. The king was so angry that he decided to
attack Kingdom of god Indra. The army of Niwata Kawaca proved to be very
strong. The army of god was easily defeated. Luckily the god managed to close
the gate. Then the god's palace was besieged by the army of Niwata Kawaca.
Then the god
Indra decided to ask for help of human being. His choice fell into Arjuna, the
third son of Pandu. At that time Arjuna was meditating in Mount Indrakila. He
was meditating there to pray and to search for spiritual power that he needed
to face the great war of Barata yudha (war of the Barata family). God Indra
wanted to test his spiritual power to know whether he was fit for the battle
with Niwata Kawaca. Indra sent seven beautiful angels to tease Arjuna. Two of
the most beautiful ones were Supraba and Tilottama. They used their beauty to
tease him but Arjuna was proved to be a true hero. He could resist their
temptation. Indra was sure that Arjuna was the right person to overcome the problem.

Meanwhile
King Niwata Kawaca realized that there was a hero who could be a threat to his
power. That's why he decided to eliminate the potential threat. He sent a
monster that could change himself into a wild boar. His name was Momong Murka.
Momong Murka came to the village where Arjuna was doing ascetics. As he got
there soon he changed himself into a giant wild bore and destroyed the village.
Arjuna did not let him do further damage so he fought back. The wild boar was
so strong that he was forced to use his new weapon. He attacked the wild boar
with an arrow and it was killed instantly. But as he came closer to take a look
at it he was very surprised to see another hero stood by it arrogantly.
Arjuna said
politely:
'Excuse me;
let me take a look at the wild boar. I just shot it with my arrow'
'Excuse me,
did you shoot it? Look this is my arrow', the hero said.
'Of course I
shot it. This is my arrow'
'But I shot
it first. You just followed me'
The quarrel
became so tense that they were both became very angry. The two heroes fought
fiercely but finally the other hero could beat Arjuna. As he sat in the ground
suddenly the hero changed into god Syiwa. Arjuna was shocked so he saluted the
god immediately.
'I beg your
pardon your holiness, I did not realized your presence'
'Arjuna, you
are truly a hero. You have reached a highest level of spirituality. That's why
I give you a special arrow called Pasopati. It was special because it had
extraordinary spiritual power. No one could resist it. Be careful'
Not long
after that Syiwa disappeared like smoke. Arjuna was then a very powerful hero.
Just as he was about to go home to Indraprasta, an emissary from Indra came to
see him. He asked Arjuna to help Indra fight King Niwata Kawaca. Arjuna agreed
to help because he realized that it was his duty as a hero to protect anyone
who needs his help.
In the heaven
of god Indra, a discussion was held to overcome the threat of King Niwata
Kawaca. Indra told Arjuna that Niwata Kawaca was unbeatable. He was very strong
and he could resist any kinds of weapon, even the most lethal ones. His victims
were countless. So they had to find out a strategy. Arjuna decided to find out
the secret of his weakness. He ordered Supraba, the most beautiful angel, to
surrender to King Niwata Kawaca. But it is only a trick to search for his
weakness. Arjuna would protect her from a distant. He had a spiritual mystical
power that could make him invisible.
Indra and
Supraba agreed to the plan. So one day Supraba came to kingdom of Iman Imantaka
to see King Niwata Kawaca. Arjuna who was invisible kept guarding her. The King
was very happy to welcome her.
'Your Majesty
King Niwata Kawaca. The Most Glorious king of Iman Imantaka. I am honored to be
your servant. Let me serve you with all of my heart'
'O, my dear
one. I have been waiting for this happy moment. But why you leave the heaven of
Indra?
'I do not
find happiness, your Majesty. I am sure I will find it here'
King Niwata
Kawaca had fallen in love to Supraba for a long time. He did not realize that
it was only a trick. Supraba kept praising him so Niwata Kawaca was flattered
and he lost control of his emotion. Then Supraba asked about his power.
'Your
Majesty, the most powerful king in the world. What makes you very powerful?'
'Supraba,
long time ago gods gave me a special power after I done ascetics. I became very
powerful and unbeatable. No weapon could do any harm to me. Except for one
thing'
'What is
that?'
'My only weakness
is my tongue. If it is hit, I will be killed instantly'
Arjuna who
stood by Supraba heard that. But he was invisible. Soon he went out of the
palace and destroyed the front gate of the palace. When the soldiers were busy
hunting for him Arjuna went back to the palace and saved Supraba. They fled to
the heaven of Indra.
King Niwata
Kawaca was very angry to hear that Supraba had escaped. He realized that god
Indra and Arjuna were behind the event. So he immediately prepared his army to
invade the heaven of Indra. He had a strong army of monsters.
As the army
arrived in the heaven of Indra they stormed it. The army of god was no match
for the mighty army of Iman Imantaka. King Niwata Kawaca who was very angry
shouted:
'Indra,
Arjuna, come out of you bedroom. Be a real man. Come on, fight me'
Then Arjuna
came to fight him. Niwata Kawaca who realized that his secret had revealed
fought very carefully although he was very angry. He never opened his mouth.
Consequently it was very difficult for Arjuna to beat him. Then Arjuna tried a
different strategy. When Niwata Kawaca hit him, he fell to the ground and
cried.
'Please have
mercy. I just followed order from my god. Let me live'
Niwata Kawaca
was very satisfied when he saw Arjuna fell and then sat helplessly on the
ground. He was sure that he won the fight.
'I thought
you are a real hero Arjuna. I thought you are a tough enemy. I never know that
you are a chicken'
Arjuna kept
on begging.
'I am just an
ordinary guy who searches for a living. I am not responsible for this. Please
let me go'
'On one
condition, do you endorse that I am your king?'
'Yes,
absolutely, your majesty, great king of Iman Imantaka'
Niwata Kawaca
was very satisfied. He laughed out loud.
'Ha, ha, ha,
little coward,.......'
He was just
about to finish his words when an arrow suddenly broke into his mouth. The
mighty Pasopati arrow from Arjuna went through his mouth and hit his tongue.
Niwata Kawaca was killed instantly. His army was shocked and soon they were
demoralized. They had no choice but to surrender to the army of god.
The god Indra
was very satisfied with Arjuna's contribution. So he gave him a great reward.
'Arjuna, Now
that a threat to human and god had disappeared. You really have a great
contribution to god and to all humanity. So I decided to give you a reward. You
will marry the seven angels'
Arjuna
married the most beautiful angels of heaven including Supraba and Tilottama.
After that he stayed in heaven for seven months. But then he had to leave
heaven. Finally he left them and returned to Indraprastha to serve for his
country and his family.

A long long
time ago in west Sumatra, Indonesia there was a fisherman and his wife who
lived in a village by the sea. They had
only one son. His name was Malin
Kundang. They lived a simple life
because as a fisherman the husband did not earn much money. Life got harder for Malin and his mother when
his father did not return from the sea.
Perhaps a storm had swollen his boat or maybe a big fish attacked him. Day by day
passed and they kept waiting for him.
But Malin’s father never returned.
So little Malin had to help her mother sold cookies in a local market.
One day there
was a big ship came to the beach of their village. It was a merchant ship. Everybody came to see it including
Malin. He was very impressed by what he
saw. Hoping to change his life he
applied for a job and he was lucky. He
was recruited by the ship owner. Then
Malin left his mother and his village.
Many years
gone by without any news from Malin.
Malin’s mother missed him so much.
Everyday she looked at the sea, hoping to see Malin came home. She always prayed to God that Malin become a
successful merchant. Then God heard her
pray.
On a
beautiful day there was a big ship came to the beach. Many people came there to see it. Malin’s mother was expectant. She was sure that it was Malin’s ship. So she hurriedly came to the beach. When she was there she asked someone that she
wanted to see the owner of the ship.
Then a lovely lady met her. She
wore a luxurious dress and jewellry. She
was Malin’s wife.
‘Is Malin
Kundang here?’
“Do you know
Malin?”
‘Yes, of
course I know him, he’s my son!’
‘But Malin
told me he had no mother. She passed
away a long time ago’.
Malin’s
mother was very surprised to hear her answer.
Then Malin came. Her wife asked
him.
‘This poor woman
said that you are his son’
Malin Kundang
who had became a rich merchant and had a wife from a rich family was ashame
with his mother who looked poor. He
denied his humble background. So when
her mother hugged him he repelled her.
‘Malin, my
son, I miss you so much’.
‘Who are you?
I am not your son’.
Malin’s
mother was was crying. She was really
irritated. Her heart was deeply
hurt. Then she prayed to God. And she cursed Malin.
Suddenly
there was a storm. The sea was
raging. Big wave came and Malin’s ship
was rushed ashore and destroyed. And
Malin suddenly changed into a stone statue.
Today people can see Malin’s statue in Teluk Bayur beach in west
Sumatra. When there is a storm or rain
people often hear someone’s crying. They
believe it is Malin’s cry.
