Her brother spoke out<br />
“Now, you are ready to go<br />
you are prepared to go<br />
ri<strong>de</strong> on the Saduk 41 now<br />
Ri<strong>de</strong> on the Salimbal 42 ”<br />
that is what he said<br />
“Go now, visit Calm Realm<br />

She picked up her Saduk 41<br />
she fetched her Sulinda 43<br />
She was holding it<br />
she was grasping it<br />
She finally ro<strong>de</strong> on<br />
the glittering Sulinda<br />
She ro<strong>de</strong> on<br />
the glistening Saduk 41<br />
She said<br />
“My <strong>de</strong>ar brother I’ll go now<br />
My brother I’ll leave now<br />

From this well-protected quarter<br />
the hard thing is<br />
The difficult thing is<br />
if the resi<strong>de</strong>nts of the Peaceful Place<br />
Will make me a slave<br />
if the people of the Typhoon’s Path<br />
Will make me a slave.”<br />
Her brother laughed<br />
Her brother smiled<br />
“they’ll never make you a slave<br />
They will not enslave”<br />
that is what he said<br />
“For sure man from Calm Realm<br />
will take you as his wife<br />
A man from Typhoon’s Path<br />
will take you as his spouse<br />

She passed through<br />

she summoned her breeze<br />
She uttered<br />
“where is my <strong>de</strong>ar wind<br />

Na dinin en<br />
She was heard<br />
by her pet wind<br />
She was known to be calling<br />
by her <strong>de</strong>ar breeze<br />
The wind inquired<br />
“Why are you calling?<br />
The lady replied<br />
“Blow now,<br />

Ha dinin en na<br />
“Blow now<br />

Today<br />
I will visit Calm Realm<br />
This very day I will go to<br />

The strong wind<br />
started to blow<br />
The forceful breeze<br />
began to blow<br />
The glittering Sulinda<br />
the glistening Saduk<br />
It soared<br />
up the sky<br />
It soared up<br />
to heaven’s entrance<br />
It flew directly<br />
to heaven’s gate<br />
The Saduk 41 rested<br />
at heaven’s entrance<br />
The Sulinda 43 remained for a while<br />
at the sky’s entrance<br />
Then the lady’s brother looked up<br />
her brother stared up<br />
This is what he said

“In<strong>de</strong>ed my <strong>de</strong>ar sister<br />

At heaven’s gate<br />

Very pretty<br />

At the sky’s entrance”<br />
that is what he said<br />
The Sulinda she was riding<br />
went on its journey<br />
The Saduk 41 continued travelling<br />
at the plains of the sky<br />
At the plains of heaven<br />
The wind finally said<br />
The breeze uttered<br />
“Hold tight to the brim<br />
Of this glittering Sulinda 43<br />
hold tight to the edge<br />
Of this glistening Saduk 41<br />
for I will blow now<br />
I will blow now.”<br />
The lady answered<br />
The woman replied<br />
“I will not be thrown away<br />
I’ll not be cast away<br />
because I am familiar<br />
With the wind that blows<br />
I am well acquainted with<br />
The breeze that will blow it<br />

At the plains of the sky<br />
I'll only feel sorry<br />
If I get lost<br />

The name of Yumuganud Ku Bagyu in the epic<br />
are the following: If he was staying in<br />
Yandang or in Manengneng he was called<br />
Yumuganud Ku Bagyu or Tumulin Ku<br />
Kayamag. But if he goes to wage war he was<br />
called Bunuanen Kagwasen or Laenan<br />
Salagyaen. But if he goes to the kingdom of<br />
heaven and visit the ladies there to cure his<br />
loneliness he was called Lumalayag Hanginen<br />
or Nangatlaw Kayamagen. Those many names<br />
refer to one person, to Yumuganud. Like for<br />

My beloved sister<br />
listen carefully<br />

(This part is narrated)<br />
You see, some of the epic heroes took their<br />
power from a blacksmith, that is the reason<br />
why they were not vulnerable to a spear.<br />
Dalagya Mananalsal or Datu Mamagimbaay<br />
was the one who gave them power. When<br />
Lagebaan could not settle the conflict, then<br />
Dalagya was called to mediate in settling it.<br />
Accordingly, Lagebaan would say "You should<br />
be the one to settle it because their power<br />
might be taken from you." Because Dalagya<br />
uses a stone when he settles a conflict. He<br />
took a stone from Lumagwas and murmured a<br />
prayer over it saying "You the stone as I<br />
release you now in between the men fighting<br />
you'll become a high cliff in between them.<br />
No one of the men fighting in the seashore can<br />
pass through you." The stone released by<br />
Dalagya became a cliff that reached the sky.<br />
Lumagwas is a river located in the sky. There<br />
are two rivers found in heaven, Lumagwas and<br />
Panganuran. There are two rivers there. The<br />
river Lumagwas is the river of epic characters.<br />
The river Panganuran is the one of Bataay and<br />
his clan. The guardian spirits who gave<br />
mankind this magical stone took it from the<br />
river Panganuran. Because the river<br />
Lumagwas belongs to the epic heroes,<br />
Ulagingen.

forest. Ayawen Latabatan was the beloved one<br />
of Calm Realm. He was also called by other<br />

Palalang, Datu Tiyalahan. He was the jolliest<br />
person among them. He was talkative and<br />

No one was left behind<br />

A proof that young men of<br />
Peaceful Place were numerous<br />
A sign that young warriors of<br />
Typhoon's Path were thousands<br />
Because when they set off<br />
When they left<br />
The large house<br />

He was asking for a quid at the<br />

At the sky kingdom<br />
at the kingdom of the sky<br />
He was not there in<br />
Peaceful Place<br />
Because he left to cure<br />
the loneliness he felt<br />
He left to entertain himself<br />
he said<br />
He commented<br />
"The heaven is shaking<br />
The sky is like a cradle<br />
war is possibly broke out<br />
Maybe there's a battle occurred<br />
I will listen to the wind<br />
I would rather hear the wind<br />

He walked at the sky's plain<br />

He was waving<br />

It did not take him long<br />
it was not quite long<br />
He reached the entrance<br />
he arrived at heaven's gate<br />
He looked below<br />
at the roaring shores<br />
Downward he cast his eyesight<br />
to the rumbling shores<br />
How could his eyes missed<br />
the people of Calm Realm<br />
How could he failed to recognize<br />
the men from Typhoon's Path<br />
He focused his eyes below<br />
He stared down<br />
They were fighting a lone man<br />
they're battling a single foe<br />
They were charging him at seacoast<br />
attacking him at seashore<br />
But they could not <strong>de</strong>feat him<br />
they could not trap him<br />

(This part is narrated):<br />
He had the head of a witch but he did not eat<br />
human. He is the brother-in-law of Great Man.<br />
Because during the time that they were about<br />
to be immortalized, his sister died of hunger.<br />
They just kept her <strong>de</strong>ad body in a safe place.<br />
But the girl was revived and married to a<br />
dweller of a Balite tree. So she was left<br />
behind. When enemies attacked them and they<br />
were almost <strong>de</strong>feated, then this brother-in-law<br />
of Great Man supported them. This is the<br />
reason why they were not <strong>de</strong>feated by enemies<br />
because they have a witch as a brother-in-law.<br />
