1. Villages on Mount Merapi circumstances:

a. Sovereigns are crowned

Another version of the Tambo told, that in the cruise sons of King Iskandar Zulkarnain three brothers, when it was near the island of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) - the gold crown they fall into the sea. All the smart people have been ordered to take a dive makhkota gold. But makhkota was not achieved, because the crown is clad by a snake splint on the seabed. Tell Clever CATI call a clever goldfish. Mas builders were ordered to make a similar crown. After the crown was completed with the help of a tool they call "camin taruih" is made with a perfect imitation. Once completed, the carpenters that made it killed, so the secret is not revealed and should not be duplicated again. When Sri Maharaja Kings awoke, it was taken, and wearing a crown above his head. When the prince who woke up not playing together anymore heartache they saw the crown had been dominated by the youngest. Then there was an argument, so they eventually separate. Sri Maharaja Alif continue the voyage to the West. He landed in the land of Rum, then ruled until the French and British Land. Sri Maharaja Dipang turned to the East, ruled China and Japan to conquer the country.

Comments padusi ~ ~: either where this fairy tale is, in fact, we have encountered in traditional tambo tambo scattered in book publishing.

b. Nan Galundi Baselo

Sri Maharaja Kings fell slightly downward from the top of Mount Merapi, a place in Galundi Baselo Nan. More to the foothills again can not be pursued because the valleys were flooded, and the foot of hills covered by dense jungle forest. At first, made some fruit taratak. Later installments are gradually opening to be cultivating the land and fields. Hut-hut it was increasingly crowded, and then grow into hamlets, and Nan Galundi Baselo become crowded. Sri Maharaja Kings had to make wells for each wife to fetch water. There are wells that made the place a lot of Agam grow and the places overgrown with rushes, similar plants to make mats, bags, etc. kembut. There is also a place that is rather flat. During the middle of the area flowed a river called Trunk Bengkawas. Because the river valleys of Batang Bengkawas's become very fertile. Hundreds of years later after the Kings of Sri Maharaja's death, his descendants bertebaranlah everywhere, berombongan looking for new lands to be opened, because the water has been shrinking as well. In the tambo said to be "earth Tatkalo barambuang naiak, aia basintak down".

- Descendants of Sri Maharaja Kings with "The Tiger Campa" which bersumur overgrown Agam went to the plateau which was then named "Luhak Agam" (luhak = wells). There they opened the new lands. Huma-teruka teruka new and worked with a vengeance. Ports to irrigate rice fields treated with the best.

- Descent "Forest Sheep" opens new lands also in the areas of Mount Sago, who later named "Luhak 50 Koto" (Payakumbuh) from luhak a lot overgrown with rushes. Descendants of "Dog the First Officer" to Kubang Tigo Baleh (Solok).

- Descent "Siamese Cat" to Candung-lasi and children of the king and his descendants still live in the Son of Luhak Tanah Datar. Then start the construction of the universe cleared the forest thicket, open land, chop melateh, meneruka, making the fields, built hovel, built hamlet, koto and villages.

c. The arrival Sapurba

Tersebutlah story of a king named Sang Sapurba. In the tambo said "Come ruso from Lauik". Reportedly he is very rich in the title of King and Nathan Sang Sangkala Sita from the Hindu land. He has a gold crown-lobe dihiasai tufted with pearl, glittering jewels and jewel encrusted manikam quality. At first he came from the land of Hindus. He landed on the Mount Siguntang Maha Meru near Palembang. There he became king Lebar Daun-law. From her marriage in Kilkenny that he has had four children, two boys namely Sang Nila Utama, Sang Maniaka; two women are Goddess and Bilal Leaf souvenirs.

On one day the Sapurba want to sail occupied Indragiri River. After a long sail, take him to the ground, finally arrived at Nan Galundi Baselo. It was a ruling in Galundi Nan Baselo Dirajo Suri is a descendant of Sri Maharaja of Kings. Kings Empress tekenal with high knowledge, he abstain in the caves of Mount Merapi. Because of high science and knowledge in, he became king of the highly respected and loved by residents of Nan Galundi Baselo and in all regions. He is also the title of Kings of Sri Maharaja, a title that made his descent of the kings of Mount Merapi.

Son of the country was astonished at the arrival of a versatile Sapurba luxurious and splendid. The crowd menggelarinya "Golden Deer", as his crown branching. Therefore ingenuity Dirajo Suri, The Sapurba be related by marriage, is married to his sister called Indo Julito. Sapurba The Hindu. He worshiped the idols. Then held a place of worship in a place. This place is still called Pariangan (per-Hiyang's = where worship Hiyang / god). And there also there is a temple made of land where Hindus worship. Others say that place is a place of joy.

d. Only As a Symbol of Kings

The Sapurba then been observed by assuming the title of Kings of Sri Maharaja also. But the power of government remained in control Suri Dirajo as parents, whereas the Sapurba only as a symbol. To the king's palace with his queen made "Long hall" where he also reigned. This palace is reputedly said to made of: tonggaknya terrace nettles, roots lundang role, there are drum of sticky rice, sticky rice sticks and drum beats from the stem seleguri, getangnya bark louse, have a wordpress counter and corn, etc. hilalang leaf mats. Because more and more crowded Pariangan Sang Sapurba also moved to a new place in the Stone Tower. A commander who was ordered to see new lands a long sword. Many of the villagers who followed him. They headed toward the right side Pariangan. Terdapatlah good ground, then began cutting timber and opening new lands. During the work that the army commanders of the long sword resting on a large stone. Lots of people are moving to new places. They were living there, and the new village resting place of the long sword, until now still named "Padang Panjang." Padang Panjang Eventually it became very crowded. Thus Pariangan to become a city of Padang Panjang, the first country in seedaran Mount Merapi in the Trunk Bengkawas, namely the country Pariangan Padang Panjang.

For the smoothness of government appointed people who will rule under the king. Then the king with those bermufakatlah egghead. Planted two people for two people Pariangan and also to Padang Panjang. Each was given the rank of "prince" and the title "Datuk". • Dt. BANDARO Kayo and Dt. Series Maharajo to Pariangan • Dt. Maharajo Bases and Dt. Sutan Maharajo Bases for Padang Panjang. The four people who at first that once made the prince in the area. Custom made for a meeting hall. That was the first hall of origin before Pariangan called Minangkabau.

e. Muno Sikati

A bad guy who came from across the country also arrived in the area. Because of his large and tall like a giant dragon man he dubbed "Sikati Muno" which came out of the crater of Mount Merapi. People very didongengkan him and them, that the dragon was a big body and there are 60 fathoms long and hard skin. He brings an unspeakable catastrophe again by the residents. It acts of robbery and has destroyed the villages and hamlets. Rice and rice fields destroyed discharged. People have been many killed, men, women and girls sacrificed.

The four princes of Pariangan sent Suri Long-meadow overlooking the Sapurba Drajo in Batu Gedang about the chaos that ditimbuklan by Sikati Muno. To maintain its prestige as one related by marriage, then go fight the Sapurba Sikati Muno. Great battle ensued many days. Sword of the Sapurba cleft-palate as much as one hundred ninety. Finally Sikati Muno dragon is dead killed by the Sapurba with a keris. Keris is called "Keris Sikati Muno" magic dagger, no tip base hit, trace was stabbed to death as well. Since then amanlah Pariangan country-Padang Panjang, and growing increasingly crowded. Therefore the Sapurba ordered again to find new lands.

One day the king himself went out, to see areas that made the country better. He went along with the accompaniment-retinue. He arrived at a place of clear water spring out from under the tree TARAB. The Sapurba thought it would be fertile ground once and made the country better. Then diperintahkannyalah opening new lands to place it. Until now it was called the River Arrow Neutral soil. Then days so famous, the seat of "Koto Pamuncak Piliang" Dt. Bandaharo TARAB River.

Besides, the prince also met a bunch of lotus flowers in the area, flower idols for Hindus. The king had set up a palace on the spot. After the palace was ready, then move the throne of the king-Padang Panjang Pariangan to new places. The new place later named Bungo Satangkai country. G second country after Nagari Pariangan in Padang Panjang.

II. Ancient Minangkabau:

________________________________________

Difficult for us to call it as an ancient Minangkabau kingdom in this period. Based in Pariangan Nagari Padang Panjang - to say it was the beginning of the ancient minangkabu kehidupanan community. With the development of society at that time, the ancestors are created by an order of life is more well-mannered and cultured. Since this is created and confirmed Minangkabau customary rules, which we amalkan until now. Despite berarlih community life along with the changes of society, but at kenyataanyaa Minangkabau adat and culture remain unused. A traditional indigenous proverb says "No back by the heat, not decayed by hujan.Siapapun among the sons and daughters who deliberately violate Minangkabau customary rules, it will be marginalized within their own family life.

It is said that in the year 1127, Sri Sultan Maharaja married puti Kings Indo Jelita, ie, the younger brother of Datuk Suri Dirajo. After 14 years of marriage, they have not also got a descent. So the board agreed to the kingdom, Sultan Sri Maharaja Kings remarries Puti World Cinto. After two years of marriage with Puti World Cinto, there are also no signs of pregnancy such Puti. Then the Sultan married Sedayu Puti. Upon the grace of God, in 1147, was born consort of Sultan Paduko Bases of Indo Jelito Puti, who was later appointed as the King of the Minangkabau, the title Datuk Ketemanggungan. Also born that year Puti Cinto Warmandewa of the World, which was then titled Datuk Bandaharo Kayo. Year 1148, born again of Puti Reno Sedayu Shida, later styled Basa Datuk Maharajo. Thus, King had three sons, each of the three mothers.

Year 1149, the Sultan of Kings Sri Maharaja died and at that time the king's oldest son was 2 years old. Agreed upon the royal council, the Grand Empress Indo Jelito Puti, directly holding the reins of the kingdom of Minangkabau while waiting Sutan Paduko Basa become adults. Daily tasks performed by the three kings namely Datuk Suri companion Dirajo, Cetri Tell Clever and Tantejo Gurano. Because Datuk Suri Dirajo affection, then the Indo Jelito Puti which was widowed, then married to Cetri Tell Clever. From her marriage had given birth to five children:

1. Sutan Jatang Balun Datuk title Perpatih Sabatang Nan (born 1152)

2. World crazed title Datuk Suri Maharajo Banego nan-nego (born 1154)

3. Puti Reno Judah was born in 1157, then brought by Datuk Perpatih Nan Sabatang to Five People, where children and his nephew later was appointed as leader.

4. Puti Jamilan born in 1159, then taken to the River Datuk Ketemanggungan TARAB and a sprig of flowers for his descendants will become kings and princes

5. Sutan Mambang th birth in 1161, after a four-year-old Suri Dirajo title Datuk title substitute mamaknya (brother of Indo Jelito Puti)

6.

Mambang Sutan is the first nephew in Minangkabau who received degrees from mamaknya. Year 1165 ie when Sutan Paduko bases have been aged 18 years, he was appointed leader Datuk Ketumanggungan title. Although the Minangkabau royal throne, the successor to the king who has 16 years of her mother's mission to Indo Jelito Puti. In addition, all boys Sultan was crowned Kings of Sri Maharaja also be the leader.

Year 1174 - to expand the influence of the ancient Minangkabau adat and entry into the River Arrow Neutral, Lima Kaum and Padang Panjang. Each region was occupied by a prince - the son of the Sultan's three wives Maharaja Sri Kings.

LUHAK Nan Tigo:

Because of the growing population and population density areas Pariangan increasingly felt, the years 1186-1192 they held through the distribution of population movement Luhak Nan Tigo.

KELARASAN:

In each luhak formed several kelarasan. In kelarasan also formed several Tribes.

TRIBE:

The tribe of Minangkabau kingdom in the area governed by matrilineal descent. Whoever the father of a child or any rank of their father, but spare their children according to his mother's tribe.

Kinship systems:

To confirm the establishment of the tribe, then constructing kinship system in which women as a successor to the lineage on the basis of tribe. They maintain the property. From the legacy, bequeathed to the offspring of women. Customary rules, which is called matrilineal. Only two regions in the world who use the rules of matrilineal. One area the Indian hinterland, the home of his fathers before 2000 years BC. And another one growing in West Sumatra.

For women's inheritance is not for personal benefit, but for the collateral descendants of tribal life. In the year 1292, great-grandson of Puti Jamilan, named Princess Dara stakeholders Crown Princess of Orange, married to Mahisa Anabrang, Commander Singashari, the family of King Kartanegara.

Before she married first at-islamkan Mahisa. Year 1293 Puti Orange Dara was pregnant, left home to follow her husband who was summoned by the king Singhasari First Majapahit (Raden Wijaya). Princess Dara Orange brought with him the half brother of Dara Petak Puti for child caregivers who will be born. A few months dikerajaan Majapahi, Mahisa Anabrang - Singashari take it. Here's where Dara Orange - gave birth to her son who was named Adityawarman. Then brother Dara is Dara Petak Orange, was married to (Raden Wijaya) - The first King of Majapahit. Puti Dara Petak changed its name to Sri Tribuaneswari Diyan. Though she had become the wife of King of Majapahit, nurturing Puti Adityawarman Dara Petak remain in the kingdom of Majapahit.

Because Datuk Ketumanggungan was very old, the year 1295, Dara was called back to Minangkabau Orange to become King of the Minangkabau with Kanduang Bundo calls. Children Bundo Kanduang named Adityawarman stay dikerajaan Majapahit, because Puti Dara Petak not let go home, wanted to continue caring for her sister's child.

After Mother bladder becomes King of the Minangkabau, Datuk Ketumanggungan died at the age of 149 years and was followed by the death of Datuk Perparih Nan A stick in the age of 146 years. The Kambang Bendahari (main handmaidens of the Mother of bladder) in marriage to Happy Long Gobang (1292), which is a diplomatic envoy from the kingdom of China (khubilai Khan). Before the first marriage for at-Islamkan crest length. Marriage would give birth to a boy named Cindur Mato th 1294. Mato Cindur warfare nurtured by the thought of Mahisa Anabrangyang Adityawarman own child away in Majapahit. Besides martial arts Cindur Mato well educated by his biological father for Long crest. So menjadilah Cindur Mato a formidable warrior and Commander of the Minangkabau kingdom dizamannya unrivaled. Adityawarman own the Crown Prince of Minangkabau kingdom, taught science and science of war work by Majapahit. Adityawarman never be Wirdamatri which is a predicate, and commensurate with the Supreme Patih mpu Nala. Therefore one of the Tri Tunggal Adityawarman Majapahit Kingdom. After the adults returned Adityawarman meet Bundo bladder and mating with Puti Youngest (Rajo Mudo mamaknya children) from Ranah Sikalawi-Taluk Kuantan, before embracing Buddhism Adityawarman married, first in-Islamkan. In the year 1347 was crowned as king of Minangkabau Adityawarman surname Dang Tuanku (Sutan Rumandung). Adityawarman marriage with childbearing Youngest Puti named Ananggawarman. Mada Gahah Adityawarman never angry because they do not want to surrender to Majapahit. But Adityawarman not hesitate to Gajah Mada, because they sependidikan. Gajah Mada tried to attack the Minangkabau in th 1348, but failed, even Adityawarman had helped subdue Bali Majapahit. When Minangkabau Ananggawarman years 1375-1417 under the leadership of, the defense has been very strong Minangkabau kingdom. Patih Wikrawardhana dikerajaan Majapahit, still trying to attack the kingdom of Minangkabau in 1409, but still not successful. That is the last attack against the Minangkabau. If dizaman Ketumanggungan and Datuk Datuk Perpatih Sabatang Nan, famous Minangkabau kingdom with customary rules and filsafahnya, then dizaman Bundo Kanduang, Adityawarman and Ananggawarman Minangkabau kingdom famous for its expertise Cindur Mato as commander of the army. Ananggawarman not heard from again after the King of the Minangkabau, perhaps because the king and princes no longer make a change, either for the kingdom, nor for the people who had been perfectly set up by previous scholars. Thus perfect Minangkabau customary rules do very well assist in the implementation of customary rules, because the indigenous Minangkabau prepared jointed syarak (Islam) and jointed syarak Kitabullah.
