KYAI GEDE PENANGGUNGAN
A long time ago, there lived an old man in the Penanggungan Mountain. His name was Kiai
Gede Penanggungan. He had supernatural
power. Kiai Gede Penanggungan had a beautiful daughter named Dewi
Walangangin who was not married
yet. Kiai Gede Penanggungan prayed
days and nights for her daughter to have a husband. One
day, a young handsome man came to his place.
The name of the man was Jaka Pandelengan. He wanted to be Kiai Gede
Penanggungan's student. Kiai Gede agreed
to have Jaka as his student with one condition
that he would marry his daughter. Jaka Pandelengan and Dewi Walangangin soon
got married. Kiai Gede Penanggungan taught
Jaka many things.
After
several years, it was time for
the couple to live separately
from Kiai Gede Penanggungan. They would move to another village. Kiai Gede gave some seeds of pari or paddy
to the couple. He asked the couple to plant the seeds. He also warned the
couple not to be arrogant when they were rich.
He wanted the couple to help poor
people. The couple started a new
life. They planted the seed. Soon, the seeds grew and became a lot of rice. Now the couple became very
rich. The poor neighbours came to the couple to ask for some pari seeds, but
the couple refused to help them.
Kiai Gede heard about the couple's bad behavior. Soon he visited the
couple. He met them when the couple was working in the field. Kiai Gede talked to the couple. He reminded the
couple not to be arrogant, but the couple ignored him. They said nothing to
Kiai Gede. Kiai Gede got very angry. Then he said, "You two are like
temples. You do not listen to me". Right after he said those words, an incredible thing happened.
Slowly, Jaka and Dewi turned into temples. Because the temples stood among the
pari, people then named them as Pari Temples.
