94 THE HISTORY OF PERAK FROM NATIVE SOURCES. 
TERAWIS, it was the morning, and he was dressed in red. Magar 
TErawis levelled his matchlock and fired, and his bullet struck Tay 
SaBan’s leg. The skin was hardly broken and the bullet fell to 
the ground at the chief's feet; but, on taking it up and reading 
the inscription, he knew that he had received his death-wound. 
He retired to his house, and, after ordering his flag to be hauled 
down, despatched a messenger to the opposite camp to call the 
warrior whose name he had read on the bullet. Inquiries for Macat 
TERAWIS were fruitless at first, for no one knew the name. At 
length he declared himself and went across the river with Tan 
SABAN’S messenger, who brought him into the presence of the 
dying man. The latter said to him, ‘Macat Trrawis, thou art 
my son in this world and the next, and my property is thine. I 
likewise give thee my daughter in marriage, and do thou serve 
the Raja faithfully in my place, and not be rebellious as I have 
been.’ Tan Sapan then sued for the Sultan’s pardon, which was 
eranted to him, and the marriage of his daughter with Maqat 
TERAWIS was permitted to take place. Then Tan Sapan died, and 
he was buried with all the honours due to a Malay chief.(1) Magar 
Trrawis was raised to the rank of a chief, and one account says 
that he became Bandahara.(?) , 
“Not long after this, the Sultan, taking Magar Terawis with 
him, ascended the Perak river to its source, in order to fix the 
boundary between Perak and Patani. At the foot of the moun- 
tain Titi Wangsa they found a great rock in the middle of the 
stream, from beneath which the water issued, and there was a 
wild cotton-tree upon the mountain, which bore both red and 
white flowers, the white flowers being on the side facing Perak, 
and the red ones on the side turned towards Patani. Then the 
(1) This legendary war of Tan Sapan with the second king of 
Perak owes its origin probably to mythological accounts of the 
wars of Salivahana and Vikramaditya, which Hindu settlers, not — 
improbably, brought to Malay countries. Saban is a natural cor- 
ruption of Salivahana. 
(2) Bandahara, treasurer. (Sansk. bhandagara, treasure), the 
highest title given to a subject in a Malay State.
