IN THE NAME OF GOD THE COMPASSIONATE AND THE MERCIFUL

This chapter speaks of the story of the prophet of God, Adam. Adam and Sitti Kawa (Eve) begot first the twins Abdu-l-Lāh and Amata-l-Lāh. They also begot Abdu-r-Rakmān and Amatu-r-Rakmān, other twins. They also begot Hābil (Abel) and Kalīma, who were twins also. They again begot Kābil (Cain) and Aklayma, his sister; these also were twins.

Introduction

PRAISE BE TO GOD. I HAVE FULL SATISFACTION THAT GOD IS MY WITNESS

Sarīp Kabungsuwan anchored at Natúbakan, at the mouth of the Rio Grande. Tabunaway and Mamālu directed some people of Magindanao to carry their net for them and went down to the mouth of the river. There they met Sarīp Kabungsuwan, and Tabunaway sent Mamālu up the river to bring down all the men of Magindanao. After the arrival of the men Tabunaway invited Kabungsuwan to accompany him to Magindanao. Kabungsuwan refused to accompany them unless they became Moslems. Tabunaway and Mamālu then repeated their invitation and all of them promised to become Moslems. Kabungsuwan insisted that he would not land at all unless they came together then and there and were washed and became Mohammedans. This they did, and on account of the bathing at that place they changed its name to Paygwān.

Kabungsuwan then accompanied Tabunaway and Mamālu, and the men towed them up all the way from Tinundan to Magindanao. Thus Kabungsuwan converted to Islam all the people of Magindanao, Matampay, Slangan, Simway, and Katitwān.

Soon after his arrival in Magindanao Sarīp Kabungsuwan married Putri Tunīna, whom Mamālu found inside a stalk of bamboo. This occurred at the time Tabunaway and Mamālu were cutting bamboo to build their fish corral. As Mamālu, who was felling the bamboo tree returned, Tabunaway inquired whether all the tree was felled or not. Mamālu answered that all the tree was felled except one young stalk. Tabunaway then said, “Finish it all, because it omens ill to our fish corral to leave that one alone.” Mamālu struck it and it fell down, and there came out of it a child who was called Putri Tunīna. Her little finger was wounded, for the bolo had cut through the bamboo.

Some time later Sarīp Kabungsuwan and Putri Tunīna begot three children—Putri Māmūr, Putri Mīlagandi, and Bay Batūla. Putri Māmūr married Mālang-sa-Ingŭd, the datu of Bwayan. Mālang-sa-Ingŭd died later, and Pulwa, his brother, came down to Magindanao and married the widow of his elder brother, Putri Māmūr.

Mālang-sa-Ingŭd and Pulwa were the children of Budtul. Budtul was the son of Mamū, the first datu of Bwayan.

Pulwa and Putri Māmūr begot Raja Sirūngan, who was the first raja of Bwayan. Raja Sirūngan begot Datu Mapūti, Tambingag, Tangkwag, and the daughters Kdaw, Banītik, Malilŭmbŭn, Duni, and Lību.

Sabaraba begot Datu Mapūti and Mālang, who was Raja Bwayan, in Bwayan. Mālang begot Sakandar, who was sultan of Rakūngan.

Tambingag begot Burhān and the daughters Kalīma, Tambil, and Sīnal. Sīnal married Jamālu-l-Ālam, who was treacherously murdered. She bore Banswīl and Kŭning. Kŭning was married to Sahīd Wapāt and begot Pakīh Mawlāna and Panglū, who was Mupāt Hidāyat, and the daughters Salīlang, entitled Baya-lābi, and Gindulūngan, who was the mother of Baya-lābi of Lakūngan.

Tangkwag begot Mukarna and Buntang, who was the son of a concubine.

Kdaw was married to Makadūlū and begot Baratamay and Bāni. Makadūlū begot also Undung and Nawang by a concubine.

Baratamay married Gimbulānan and begot Lalanū, entitled Baya Budtung, who married Sultan Barahamān and died without offspring; she was overshadowed by Panabwan, a lady of Tajiman.

Baratamay and Bāni were both born of a princess; so one day Baratamay said to Bāni, “You rule Bwayan, for I am going away and shall be absent,” and Baratamay left for Sūlug. There he married a lady of Sūlug and begot Pangyan Ampay. Some time after that Baratamay returned to the land of Bwayan and went up as far as Bagu Ingŭd. There he married a lady of Bagu Ingŭd and begot Munāwal and Gangga. Munāwal married Mupāt Batwa and begot Manuk, Raja Bwayan in Bagu Ingŭd. Manuk begot Manman, Tapūdi, and Raja Mūda of Matingawan. Manman was sultan of Bagu Ingŭd.

Baratamay begot also Tuntū, who begot Dungkŭlang, a datu of Kabulūkan, and Ambuludtu, and Ugu Nīga; also Pandalīgŭn, Anib, Kābaw, Manabū, Talibūbū, Dānaw, and the daughters Gāyang and Tŭndwan. These were all the children of Baratamay—in all, fourteen.

[The End]

This manuscript is copied from a scroll written for the sultan of Kudarangan by Twan Kali, a noted Moro judge who was in the service of the sultan. It was obtained through the favor of Sharif Afdal, the son-in-law of the late sultan.

The second part gives the descendants of Pulwa and the genealogy of the rajas of Bwayan. This is, however, incomplete and deficient. It stops at the seventh generation, which is practically midway, and does not distinctly state who were the rajas of Bwayan.

It is fuller than Manuscript No. II in giving the descendants of all the sons of Raja Sirūngan, but it does not proceed in the main line of descent as far and as fully as Manuscript No. II. The original scroll from which this copy was taken is evidently older than Datu Mastūra’s copy.

Literal translation of Manuscript No. III

This manuscript is a correct copy of the original which is in the possession of Datu Kali Adam of Kalangnan, one of the principal present representatives of the dumātūs. The dumātūs are a distinct class of the Moros of Magindanao who trace their origin back to the former chiefs of the country who reigned before the introduction of Mohammedanism. The original was written by Datu Kali Adam himself, copied from a previous manuscript handed down to him from his father, who was a prominent judge, with some later additions of his own. It was neither neat nor well kept. It abounds with grammatical mistakes and has several errors in the text. Its style is mixed; Ranao words, pronouns, and terminations occur; still, in general it is a fair specimen of the literature of the Magindanao dialect. It is the best authority on its subject, and is greatly valued by the people. It is the oldest manuscript known on this subject.

The ruler of Magindanao at the time of Kabungsuwan’s arrival was Tabunaway. Tabunaway was not a datu; he was a timuway. The word timuway or timway means chief or leader, and is still generally used by the Tirurays and Manobos and other hill tribes. Kabungsuwan evidently conquered Magindanao, and its sovereignty passed over from Tabunaway to him, and to his descendants after him. The Moros greatly regard and respect every Mohammedan who is related to the Prophet, and look upon every Arabian as of noble birth and equal in rank to their datu class. Descent from Kabungsuwan constitutes all their claim to nobility and their right to the datuship.

The descendants of Tabunaway are naturally jealous. They claim to have come from an Arabian ancestor who is descended from the Prophet, and take great pride in the fact. They assert that the datus omitted this part of the history from their books intentionally in order to give more importance to Kabungsuwan and to their own descent.

For these reasons the dumātūs keep their own records of the history of their country, and the genealogy of their line.

Sambŭg, who is mentioned here, is stated to be the son of Tabunaway. Manuscript No. III states that Kabungsuwan had a son named Sambgan, who was born in Juhūr. Whether these two are one and the same name or not it is very difficult to say. Probably they are two different names.

The land of paradise was brought by the angels from the west (Arabia) to Mindanao. Later the angels moved paradise to Madinat, but the earth did not balance and tipped on the side of Mindanao. They then measured the earth to find its center, but it had none. Then the angels took paradise and carried it to Mecca, but a part of it remained in Mindanao.

Afterwards there came from Juhūr Sharif Hasan and Sharif Maraja, who were brothers. Sharif Hasan came to Sulu, and from him descended all the datus of Sulu. Sharif Maraja had two sons, Sharif Bidayan and Sharif Timbangan. He or one of his sons lived at Basilan. Sharif Hasan and Sharif Maraja were followed by Sharif Kabungsuwan, a nephew of Sharif Maraja. Sharif Maraja was the first Mohammedan who came to Bawangin, which is Mindanao. He first came to Slangan (the western part of Cotabato), where he saw Burak (an animal intermediate between a bird and a horse) light on a bamboo tree. Burak slipped and let fall his load, which was the lady, Paramisúli. Sharif Maraja dived into the river and brought up Paramisúli; later he married her and begot several children. The oldest of his children was Tabunaway, the youngest Mamālu. The daughters were Sarabānun and Pindaw.

Some time after that Sharif Kabungsuwan came from Juhūr and anchored at Tinundan (a stream or estuary very near the mouth of the Rio Grande of Mindanao). There was nobody there then; but the sharif saw a taro plant and a cornstalk floating down, and said, “There must be some people at the head of this river; let us wait until they come down.” Later there came down the river Manúmbali, the datu of Slangan, with seven men, to fish at Tinundan. They saw Sharif Kabungsuwan. The sharif called them, but they could not understand him. He beckoned to them, but one of them died on that account, and they were frightened and returned. Later the people of Katittwan, having heard of this, came down the river to see the sharif, but they also could not understand him, and one of their men died of the same cause. They again returned and told Tabunaway, who came down the river and saw Sharif Kabungsuwan. The sharif called to Tabunaway and Mamālu, who both understood him and came into his boat. Tabunaway saw the ring of Sharif Kabungsuwan, and the sharif observed the ring of Tabunaway. The sharif then asked Tabunaway how he had become possessed of this ring, and if he had bought or inherited it. Tabunaway replied that he had not bought the ring, but that he had inherited it. “Then,” said the sharif, “you must be a descendant of my uncle.” He then informed Tabunaway of his relation to him, and they became acquainted with each other. They then went up the river together in the boat of Sharif Kabungsuwan and came to Magindanao (which is Cotabato). There Kabungsuwan met Sarabānun, the sister of Tabunaway, and asked to marry her. Tabunaway consented and the sharif married Sarabānun, but she died before her child was born.

After the death of his father Tabunaway became datu of Magindanao.

Sambŭg, the son of Tabunaway, married and begot Dagansina. Dagansina begot Ampan; Ampan begot Alang; Alang begot Dumāya, who married Duyuttanan, who is from Liyámin in Balabagan. Dumāya begot Lawana and Mandawa and Taluwa. Lawana begot Bansara. Bansara begot Iput and Ibrāhīm and Jubayr and the following daughters: Lamyuna, Kalīma, and Malubay, the mother of Sultan Izra of Ramītan. From Lamyuna descended Mohammed, whose children are Gayag and Sakandar and Undang. Kalīma bore Antim. Antim begot Jayra and Tunug.

Iput begot Karija. Ibrāhīm begot Ugu. Ugu begot Mintal and Umar, one of whom was a judge (kali). The judge begot Ruranŭn and Gansing and Mamālu and a daughter called Mandi. Kali Ruranŭn begot Nyaw and Tarawya and Mangilay. Mamālu begot Kudarat and Dawuntánan and Mantag. Nyaw begot Jamarun and Kawali. Tarawya begot Anggrīs and Sayd. Mangilay begot Abbas and Payag and Dadaw. Mandi begot Gawi and Mindang and Inding. Gawi begot Lambway and Bkaran and Gandayra. Mindang begot Rakman. Inding begot Dindaw.

This manuscript is a copy of the original which is in the possession of Datu Kali Adam of Kalangnan mentioned in the previous manuscript (No. IV). It is written partly in the Mindanao dialect and partly in Malay. It refers to three subjects and comprises three distinct parts.

The second part is much more interesting. It is the oldest record on hand referring to the genealogy of Magindanao proper with distinct information as to the source from which it was obtained. It is all in Malay, but it is so poorly written and composed that its translation is a very difficult task. Pakīr Mawlāna, the authority this book claims, was one of the most intelligent sultans Magindanao had. The substance of this text was transmitted in Malay by Pakīr Mawlāna himself to Capt. Thomas Forest in the year 1775. It appears that there have always been in Mindanao natives who could converse and write in Malay. The statement of Captain Forest would lead one to infer that the book from which Pakīr Mawlāna translated was written in the native dialect, and not in Malay. Probably the text of this manuscript is not identical with that of Pakīr Mawlāna’s copy, but derived from the same source and written in Malay instead of Magindanao. Its text is by no means as reliable as that of Manuscript No. VI, but it gives some very interesting information which is not mentioned in the other copies. Sultan Barahamān, to whom the principal source and authority of the tarsila is referred, was the fifth grandson of Sarīp Kabungsuwan and the first grandson of Sultan Qudrat, the famous Corralat of Combés. He had several children who figured prominently in the history of the country, four of whom are quoted here as authorities, and who are surnamed Sahīd Wapāt, Wapāt Batwa, Jarnīk, and Sumannap. Their full and exact titles were Sultan Jāpar Sādik Manāmir, Sultan Dipatwān Anwār, Gūgū Jarnīk, and Datu Ma-as Sumannap. Manāmir was assassinated by his nephew, Malīnug, and is always referred to as Sahīd Wapāt, which means, in Arabic, “Dead Martyr.” Jamālu-l-Ālam, the brother of Barahamān, is Sultan Mohammed Kahāru-d-Dīn Kuda, who usurped the sultanate after the death of his brother. Pakīh Mawlāna Amiru Dīn was the eldest son of Sahīd Wapāt, and his correct full title was Sultan Pakīr Mawlāna Mohammed Kayru-d-Dīn Kamza. He is generally referred to as Pakīr Mawlāna, and is sometimes called Pakīh instead of Pakīr.

Though the text of this manuscript varies from that of No. VI, it very often mentions facts and names that are lacking in the latter and which help to complete the sense and the subject-matter of the tarsila. The first two words of the address Paduk Sari Sultan do not belong to the Mindanao dialect, but are Malay. This tarsila ends with the children of Barahamān and Jamālu-l-Ālam, and evidently belongs to the period prior to the death of Pakīr Mawlāna, or his name and those of his brothers would otherwise have been mentioned.

Being mainly written in Malay, this manuscript is of no literary value at all. That part of it written in the Magindanao dialect shows a slight admixture of the Iranun dialect. Both its composition and style are poor, and mistakes in spelling and writing abound.

Literal translation of Manuscript No. V

This manuscript is a copy of the original which is in the possession of Datu Mastūra, the best-informed datu of Magindanao, and the son of Sultan Qudrat Jamālu-l-A’lam Untung, the greatest of the late sultans of Magindanao. Datu Mastūra has the best collection of Magindanao books and records and owns the most reliable of the royal documents that have been preserved. This copy is one of the best specimens of Magindanao literature extant. It is principally genealogy and speaks briefly of the early history of Magindanao and the rise of its sultanate, its main purpose being to preserve the record of descent and determine the right of succession to the sultanate.

The first page describes the birth of Putri Tunīna and her relation to Tabunaway, the ruler of Magindanao. The second page describes the coming of Sharif Kabungsuwan to Magindanao, his conversion of Mindanao to Islam, and his marriage to Putri Tunīna. The third page gives an account of Kabungsuwan’s marriage to a princess from Malabang and his descendants from her. The rest of the manuscript is a detailed account of births and descendants down to the birth of the great grandfather of the present sultan, which must have occurred shortly before the beginning of the nineteenth century. It is the most complete and the most nearly correct copy that exists. It is written at a later period than that of No. V, and covers two later generations. The history and genealogy of the nineteenth century were obtained by personal investigation and inquiry from the oldest and most reliable datus and other persons living. Diagrams Nos. 3 and 4 show the descent of the rulers of Magindanao from Kabungsuwan to the present time.

The full names and titles of the sultans in the order of their succession are as follows:

• 1. Sharif Kabungsuwan
• 2. Sharif Maka-alang
• 3. Datu Bangkāya
• 4. Datu Dimasangkay
• 5. Datu Gūgu Sarikūla
• 6. Datu Kapitan Lāwut Bwīsan
• 7. Sultan Dipatwān Qudrat (Corralat)
• 8. Sultan Dundang Tidulay
• 9. Sultan Barahamān
• 10. Sultan Kahāru-d-Dīn Jamālu-l-Ālam Kuda
• 11. Sultan Mohammed Jāpar Sādik Manāmir, generally known as Sahīd Mupāt or Wapāt
• 12. Sultan Dipatwān Anwār, also known as Wapāt Batwa
• 13. Sultan Mohammed Tāhiru-d-Dīn Malīnug
• 14. Sultan Pakīr Mawlāna Mohammed Kayru-d-Dīn Kamza, generally known as Pakīr Mawlāna or Pakīh Mawlāna
• 15. Sultan Pakaru-d-Din
• 16. Sultan Mohammed Amīru-l-Umara Alīmu-d-Dīn Kibād Sahriyāl
• 17. Sultan Kawāsa Anwāru-d-Dīn
• 18. Sultan Qudrata-l-Lāh Jamālu-l-A’lam Untung
• 19. Sultan Mohammed Makakwa
• 20. Sultan Mohammed Jalālu-d-Din Pablu, sometimes called Sultan Wata
• 21. Sultan Mangigīn

IN THE NAME OF GOD THE COMPASSIONATE AND MERCIFUL. PRAISE BE TO GOD THE LORD OF THE UNIVERSE. I HAVE FULL SATISFACTION THAT GOD IS MY WITNESS

This book speaks of the origin of the rulers of Magindanao. The first known rulers were Tabunaway and his brother Mamālu. One day they were cutting bamboo to build a fish corral. Mamālu cut down all the trees except one small stalk that was left standing alone. Tabunaway then called to Mamālu, “Finish it up, because it omens ill to our fish corral.” Mamālu therefore cut it and found in it a girl whose little finger was slightly cut by a slip of the bolo. He carried the girl to Tabunaway, but Tabunaway told him to keep her and adopt her as his child. This girl was named by Tabunaway Putri Tunīna.

On the other hand, there came out from Mecca Sharif Ali Zayna-l-Abidīn, who proceeded to Bawangin (Malaysia) and settled at Juhūr. Here he married the daughter of Sultan Iskandar Thul-Qarnayn of Juhūr, whose name was Jūsul Āsiqin, and begot Sharif Kabungsuwan. Sharif Kabungsuwan came to Magindanao to the mouth of the Tinundan. There he met Tabunaway and accompanied him to the town of Magindanao. This is Sharif Kabungsuwan, who converted to Islam all the people of Magindanao, Slangan, Matampay, Lusud, Katittwān, and Simway, and who was followed by all those who accepted Islam in the land of Magindanao.

And it came to pass that Tabunaway married Sharif Kabungsuwan to the girl that was found inside the bamboo stalk, whose name was Putri Tunīna. To them were born three daughters—Putri Māmūr, who married Mālang-sa-Ingŭd, an older brother of Pulwa; Putri Mīlagandi, who married Pulwa, the datu of Bwayan; and Putri Bay Batūla, who had no children.

The present sultan, Abu-Bakar, lives at Bagumbayan proper, which is located on the right bank of the southern Rio Grande about 3 miles below Tambao or the fork. He is still addressed, at times, as the sultan of Talakūkū, which was the proper address of his father, named after the older name of the capital. The word Bagumbayan means “newly built,” and has lately been applied to the sultanate on account of the late change of the residence of the sultan. Talakūkū is the word that appears in all Spanish records and histories. Kabuntalan is still older and is more used by the Moros themselves. The old site of Kabuntalan was on the left bank of the main river just above the fork. It has been completely abandoned.

Nagtangan is the oldest name and the one which appears first in this manuscript.

This manuscript is copied from the original, which is in the possession of the sultan himself. It was obtained through the favor of Datu Balabadan, who is a relative of the sultan and who belongs to the same family or an allied branch of the same.

The original is a very old copy and many of the leaves and margins are torn and have fallen into pieces. The handwriting is fair and plain, but the composition and grammar are very poor. The orthographical errors committed in writing Moro names in Arabic characters are very numerous and greatly change the expression of the words. It is evident that the original author was a poor writer, and did not have the usual practical knowledge in writing in Arabic characters that other Moro authors had.

The dialect is strictly that of Magindanao. The titles of the datus are similar to those used in Magindanao. Two new titles, Jukulānu and Jīwana, appear often, and in all probability are applied to subdatus of the same rank as Gūgū, Umar Maya, Marāja Layla, etc.

IN THE NAME OF GOD THE COMPASSIONATE AND MERCIFUL.

The first datu of Bwayan was Budtul, who married a woman from Magindanao and begot Mālang-sa-Ingŭd and Pulwa. Putri Māmūr was married first to Mālang-sa-Ingŭd, but after his death she married Pulwa. Pulwa married also Budang of Tijaman, and begot Dikāya.

The two greatest powers that figured prominently in the Rio Grande Valley are the sultan of Magindanao and the raja of Bwayan. These rulers have at all times been considered as greater in power and higher in rank than any other ruler in the valley. In the latter part of the eighteenth century and during the main part of the nineteenth century the sultan of Kabuntalan also figured prominently and held a very intimate relation and a close position to both of the other sultans, which position he still holds at the present time.

It appears that the first ruler of Kabuntalan was Dikāya, the son of a raja Bwayan, who simply held the honorary title of datu. His successor had no male heir, and one of his daughters, Babak, married Umar Maya Tubu-tubu of Magindanao, who became ruler of Kabuntalan and whose son was the first mentioned sultan there. This makes the line of descent of Kabuntalan related by Babak to the line of Bwayan and by Umar Maya to that of Magindanao. This relation to both Magindanao and Bwayan and the intermediate position Kabuntalan holds to both Saylud and Saraya have been very prominent factors in the history-making events of the valley, and have successively been taken advantage of by both Spanish and American authorities managing the affairs of the country.

• 1. Datu Dikāya
• 2. Datu Dŭka
• 3. Datu Umar Maya
• 4. Sultan Digra Alam
• 5. Sultan Mohammed Alīmu-d-Dīn
• 6. Sultan sa-Barahamān

• 8. Sultan Iskandar Sul-Karnayn
• 9. Sultan Idrīs
• 10. Sultan Abu Bakar

The diagram shows also the principal relations of Bagumbayan to Bwayan and to Magindanao.

Very little is known about the early history of Kabuntalan. Datu Kali Ibrahim, who is the chief judge of Bagumbayan, told the following story:

Soon after the arrival of Dikāya in Kabuntalan the chief people of the village took their new datu in a boat on a little excursion. When they had gone some distance from the village they engaged in a sham fight and one party attacked the datu. This affair was prearranged and planned to test the courage and power of their datu. They made their attack with krises and bamboo lances. Dikāya was frightened and ran away. The people lost respect for him and expelled him from the village. Some time later he won their friendship by his good behavior and was reinstated as datu of Kabuntalan.

The statement on page 47 that Dikāya was the son of Pulwa was taken from the Bwayan tarsila and is added on account of the relation it bears to the subject. The part of the tarsila of Bwayan which bears on this subject states that Dikāya was the son of Pulwa by a concubine, and that Dikāya begot Dŭka, who married Rantyan, a Malitigaw lady whose mother was Agŭb. The children of Dŭka and Rantyan were Bulus, Manalidtū, Puwi, and Miyandung.

As Pulwa must have lived about the year 1550, and as Digra Alam must have ruled about the year 1770, the statement that Dŭka married Ambun and begot Babak, the mother of Digra Alam, can not be accepted as true. Some links in the list are evidently missing, but the fact is that the right to rule Kabuntalan belonged to the descendants of Dŭka, and was principally derived from Bwayan.

The first ruler of Kabuntalan addressed as sultan was Digra Alam, the son of Umar Maya and Babak. Diagram No. 5 shows plainly that Digra Alam must have ruled about the same time as Sultan Pakīr Mawlāna Kanza of Mindanao, or his brother, Pakāru-d-Dīn, that is about the year A. D. 1770.

In a treaty between the Spanish Government and the sultan of Kabuntalan in the year 1857 the sultan is addressed as sultan of Tambao. He must be either Sultan Iskandar Sul-Karnayn or Sultan Idrīs, probably the latter.
