hulus in the government of his own country, nor did he impose 

 any taxes, reserving- only certain dues to himself as suzerain. 

 He directed that in the event of any war or disturbances the 

 Penghulu should refer to him. 



Raja Male wa then returned to Penajih in Rembau, and when 

 he had arrived there the Penghulus and the Bandar met (again) 

 in conference, and elected Raja Malewa to be their Raja with 

 the title of " Yam Tuan.'' They invited him as Tam Tuan to 

 live at Sri Menanti, and Rembau became known as the " Tanah 

 Karaja'an" ( the Raja's country ), while Sri Menanti was the 

 " Tanah Mengandong " (the Raja's abode). 



When the Klana Rumah Bertatah had returned to the Mercy 

 of God Most High, he w^as. succeeded by Klana Badur in the Ban- 

 darship of Bandar Bangkit. In course of time Raja Malewa 

 returned to Menangkabau, and in his stead came Raja Lenggang 

 to dwell in the Istaua of Yam Tuan Raja Malewa. The four 

 Penghulus met and elected Raja Lenggang to the Yam Tuauship

Raja Lenggang married, and the name of his son was Raja 

 Radin. And^when Raja Lenggang died the four Penghulus assem-

 Yam Tuan. Now Raja Radin having become Yam Tuan, another 

 Raja named Sati came from Menangkabau in order to t^ucceed 

 Raja Lenggang as Yam Tuan. The four Penghulus refused to

 Raja stock of Menangkabau. Ihen Raja Sati was wroth and 

 had recourse to arms. In the fighting that ensued he v^as de- 

 feated and tied, and the son of Raja Lenggang was estallibhed 

 in the Yam Tuanship. Since that time there has been no other 

 Raja from Menangkabau. 



Bandar Bangkit died and was succeeded by Bandar Mogah. 

 Now the Yam luan Rajah Radin paid fiequent visits to JSungei 

 Ujong, and used to halt for the night at Parui in bungei Ujong. 

 He was displeased that there was no one there to provide him 

 with lodging and food and drink, so the Klana and the Bandar 

 consulted together to apoint a Penghulu Bagang for Parui who 

 should attend to the wants of the Yam Tuan in his journeys to 

 and fro. Having consulted they appointed as Penghulu Bagang
