The story of the Origin of the Name of the Kingdom of Samudra Pase

Every area has itsThe story of the Origin of the Name of the Kingdom of Samudra Pase own origins of its own name which sometimes becomes a legend in the life of the community. I have previously told some of the stories of the origin of the name of the region in Aceh (read:), so this time I will try to tell how the origin of the name Pase or pasee ocean kingdom.

pase is one of the royal names located on the banks of the Geudong river (currently one of the sub-districts of North Aceh) that had stood before Islam came to Aceh. the most famous king of the time was a silhouette that after the coming of Islam was renamed by Malikussaleh (his name was crowned the name of the university in north aceh today). the name of the kingdom is the oceanic kingdom pase which in the sekhtar sekhah mentioned as the kingdomIslam first in the archipelago.Well, where is the name of the name of the Pase, this is what is listed in previous documents that may not be correct and may be correct. in a land of sob / gayo is told that there is a dog that is so faithful to his master so as to keep his fallen master and can not get out of the old well in the jungle which then the name of the dog in the patch into the area.

the dog is named Si Si Pase obtained from tambak land sob / gayo. In the history of Malay, rihlah ibnu batuthah and shaykh al-Khalili mentioned ocean pase was originally named Salasari. That is the name of one of the herbs that was searched by merchants at that time. while Prof. Dr. RA hussin jajaningrat explains that the change of name salasari country into ocean pase can not be separated from the influence of the ocean kingdom gupta.

in the story narrated by M Yunus Jamil king of the king peureulak sultan machdum malik ibrahim syah johan sovereign has a brother named meurah meursa bin Machdum malik ishak which is usually called the ancestor of mersa or Tu meursa. he has seven children named meurah jernang, meurah bacang, meurah itam, meurah puteh, meurah silu, meurah pupook and meurahu meugeu.

Told that one day his seven children went hunting into the forest with the Pase (pet pet king mentioned above). in the hunt meugeu meurahu plunged into an old well covered with bushes in the geugadieng area not so far from kute rajang / sob. The six brothers did not help meuge meuge and they went home. until it was overwhelmed by the pase to wail to give the king a sign but it was not understood by the king. The pase runs back and forth from the house to the well where meuge meugeu fell.

ultimately it makes the king suspicious of the behavior of the pase, especially when it is known that one child did not go home. Tu mersa followed the dog until the greedy meugeu meuryu fell. finally meurahu meurahu helped and since then the story of the loyalty of the pase became the subject of much talk so that according to the story of the dog's name became the name of pasee ocean kingdom.
