Folklore from South Sumatra

Raja Biku's tale takes place in a land at the foothills of Bukit Sulap, which continues to be a source of pride for the Lubuklinggau community. He was one of the "Delapan Dewa," or "Eight Gods," and was skilled in the magical knowledge that the eight gods possessed. Putri Ayu Selendang Kuning, a stunning fairy from the world of the gods and also the sister of Dewa Mantra Guru Sakti Tujuh, the god of mantra, was his wife. While the palace and the entire population worry about who will take the throne, the people of Ulak Lebar live in peace and prosperity despite having no descendants.

Raja Biku and Putri Ayu Selendang Kuning, after practicing asceticism at Bukit Alas Rimba, received good news about the birth of their children. King Biku's six children are miracles from the realm of the gods, born because of the sacredness of the seven flowers from heaven. The crown prince named Sebubur, Dayang Torek, Dayang Jeruju, Dayang Teriji, Dayang Ayu and Dayang Iring Manis, is known as the most beautiful king's daughter, and many kings and princes wanted to marry her. Sebubur is the only male brother in his family, and he acquired a lot of magical knowledge in preparation for inheriting the throne of the Ulak Lebar Kingdom. He traveled from one state to another, going through asceticism repeatedly to deepen his magical knowledge.

The Sultan of Palembang was a king who wanted to marry Dayang Torek. The betrothal procession coincided with Raja Biku's departure to the State of China and Sebubur's journey to catch up with his beloved father. After a long time, Sebubur returned to Ulak Lebar empty-handed due to the departure of King Biku. He decided to invite Dayang to Palembang and was able to bring her home with a baby, a descendant of Raja Pelambang. However, the tragic event of the death of the baby in Tangah Sebubur marked the end of Dayang's destiny. Sebur is powerless to prevent her destiny as outlined by the Dewa Mantra guru Seven long ago.

Sebubur, a magical traveler and crown prince of the Ulak Lebar Kingdom, is an important figure in the legend of Silampari. His role in the story marked the "silam," which means "disappearance," of all members of the palace family, including King Biku, Putri Ayu Selendang Kuning, and Sebubur's five sisters. The word silampari means "pari" or "fairy" who was "silam" or "disappeared." Sebubur and his entire family left the world and went back to the world of the gods. This is the interpretation that the Lubuklinggau inhabitants have to this day.
