310 THE HISTORY OF PERAK FROM NATIVE SOURCES. 



Mansur Shah Khalifat-irrahim Iskandar Muda. Raja 

 BaDdahara Ckolan became Raja Muda, Raja Inu became 

 Bandahara and Raja Kechik Bongsu became Sultan Muda. * 

 Raja Muda Cholan had three children, namely two daughters 

 by his principal wife (gahara ?) and one son by another wife 

 of a lower class (orang ka-luar-an) . His daughters were 

 called Raja Long Irang and Raja Chu, and his son was called 

 Raja Kasim. The mother of the latter was Inche Mek 

 Anjong ; she was the daughter of the Sri Maharaja Lela, Toh 

 Osniau. of Kota Lama. 



The Bandahara, Raja Inu, married a sister of Raja Muda 

 Cholan, whose title was Raja Che Puan Tengah ; she bore him 

 two sons and one daughter, namely : — 



1. — Raja Abdurrahim, who married Raja Long Irang, 

 the daughter of Raja Muda Cholan. 



2. — Raja Radin, who married Raja Chu, younger 

 sister of Raja Long Irang. 



3. — Raja Itam. 

 When Raja Muda Cholan died, he became known among the 

 people as Marhum Pulau Juwar. f Raja Kasim was then still 

 very young, and his sister Raja Long Irang brought him up. 

 B,aja Long Irang and her husband and child all died about the 

 same time, the latter being quite young. Raja Bandahara 

 Inu died soon afterwards and became known to posterity 

 as Marhum Tengah. Raja Radin then became Bandahara. 



"When Sultan Ala-eddin died, Sultan Muda Raja Kechik 

 Bongsu became Yang-di-per-tuan under the title of Sultan 

 Ahamadin Shah. The Bandahara, Raja Radin, then became 



* A. D. 1777 probably. Suitan Ala eddin Mansur Shah is the last ruler 

 mentioned in the Misa Malayu (Journal No. 2, p. 193). The original Perak 

 Salslla only carries the history as far as the previous reign (Journal 

 No. 9. p. 107). All therefore that now follows is new. 



f .Raja Cholan (Marlium Pulau Juwar) is famous in Perak as the author 

 of the historical work Misa Malayu, which has been described in No. 2 of 

 this Journal, p. 187, and extracts from which will be found in No. 10, p.p. 

 258, 263, I take this opportunity of correcting a mistake committed in the 

 papers quoted, where Misal is written for Misa. There is a Javanese 

 romance which has been translated into Malay and is very popular in Perak. 

 It is called Haliayat Misa Perlujaya, or simply Misa Jama. Raja Cholan's 

 work has been compared by its admirers to the romance in question and has 

 thus come to be called Misa Malayu. (The Malay Misa) in contradistinction 

 to the Misa Jawa.
