One
day, Dayang Sumbi asked her son to go hunting in the nearest jungle and she
wanted some deer liver or venison. So Sangkuriang went hunting with his lovely
dog, Tumang, to please his mother. After hunting all day with empty-handed,
Sangkuriang began desperate and worried. Think shortly, Sangkuriang took his
arrow and shot his dog. Then he took the dog liver or flesh and carried home.
He gave
dog liver or flesh to his mother. Soon Dayang Sumbi fine out that Sangkuriang
lied to her. She knew Sangkuriang had killed Tumang. So, She angry and hit
Sangkuriang head. Sangkuriang got wounded and scar. Sangkuriang cast away from
their home.
Years
go bye, Sangkuriang had travel many places and on one day, he arrived at a
village which is used to be his home. He met a beautiful woman whom actually
his mother and felt in love with her.
Their
love grew naturally and one day, when they were discussing their wedding plans,
Dayang Sumbi suddenly realised that the profile of Sangkuriang's head matched
that of her only son's who had left twenty years earlier. How could she marry
her own son? But she did not wish to dissapointed him by canceling the wedding.
So, although she agreed to marry Sangkuriang, she would do so only on the
condition that he provide her with a lake and a boat with which they could sail
on the dawn of their wedding day.
Sangkuriang
accepted this condition and built a lake by damming the Citarum river. With a
dawn just moment away and the boat almost complete, Dayang Sumbi realised that
Sangkuriang would fulfill the condition she had set. With a wave of her
supernatural shawl, she lit up the eastern horizon with flashes of light.
Deceived by false dawn, the cock crowed and farmers rose for the new day.
