Betung story from Aceh

Once in Aceh and Hikayat Raja - raja Pasai, the origins of which lowers the glory and greatness of the reign of Sultan Iskandar Muda in Aceh Darussalam and the kings of the ocean Pase ( North Aceh ) is derived from the uterus fairy princess named Betung. About saga Betung Daughter, Once he was the son of King Mohammed nymphs were found in the woods. Then the King appointed him as the child who later married to Meurah Elephant, which is the king's son Ahmad, elder brother of King Mohammed. Another version says Hikayat Aceh, marriage Betung with Red Elephant Princess gave birth to two children, men and women, each named Sultan Ibrahim Shah and Princess Sapiah. While the version of the Hikayat Raja - raja Pasai Betung stated that the Princess gave birth to two sons hereinafter named Meurah Silu As title of Sultan Malik Salih, the founder of the kingdom of Samudra Pase, and Meurah Hanum.
Betung daughter's story to be interesting because in addition to having symbol as Noble Womb, which mediates the birth of the great kings, also has a disability. Typically, a woman whose daughter was a beautiful girl pictured, with a perfect body, and behavior worth. However, according to the Hikayat Aceh, on the right side of the princess's chin covered with a white long hair and striking. So that her husband, who holds a Meurah elephant Raja Muhammad Shah, less happy and feel embarrassed to "imperfections" in the body of his wife.
Therefore, one day the king asked that his wife pull out "foreign hair" in the body. But the king's request is rejected by the princess. The princess reasoned, if the hair is "weird" was lifted from his body, then certainly there will be a divorce between them. Necessarily hear the reasons Betung daughter, the king remained silent, but silence does not mean that the king would listen to reason the princess, but the king is being schemed how to make hair "strange" that remains to be revoked, so that all means and efforts be made to seek Betung the princess inadvertence.
One day the king comes true intentions, then he saw his wife sleeping soundly, then the revocation mengendapendap "foreign hair" was from the body of the princess. After the king took "foreign hair" was from the body of the princess, not long after it happens remarkable oddity. From chin goddess, that of the former canal was scraped weird hair, flowing white blood three points, finally Betung daughter died shortly thereafter. The incident makes King Mohammed, father daughter Betung angry. Then immediately sent troops to invade King Mohammed Shah, in the battle of King Muhammad Shah finally killed. When he heard the king was killed, Raja Ahmad was angry, and sent troops to invade King Mohammed. The two brothers had fought so named in the saga that the two kingdoms were eventually destroyed.
Of the saga of the uterus is also described that Betung daughter was born kings, empires are uniquely recognized by Aceh Darussalam and Ocean Pase. Both empires that compete for Betung daughter, who comes from the world of the supernatural or the supernatural, to legitimize his greatness. Whether accidental, the story is similar to Princess Betung story Mataram kings who always told married Ratu Kidul. That is, keadiluhungan a king master because the two worlds, supernatural and natural. While Meurah Elephants, which decreases as the father of the great kings, its origin unknown.
