A long time ago, there lived an old man
in the Penanggungan Mountain. His name was Kiai Gede Penanggungan. He had
supernatural power. Kiai Gede Penanggungan had a beautiful daughter named Dewi
Walangangin who was not married yet. Kiai Gede Penanggungan prayed days and
nights for her daughter to have a husband. One day, a young handsome man
came to his place. The name of the man was Jaka Pandelengan. He wanted to be
Kiai Gede Penanggungan's student. Kiai Gede agreed to have Jaka as his student
with one condition that he would marry her daughter. Jaka Pandelengan and Dewi
Walangangin soon got married. Kiai Gede Penanggungan taught Jaka many things.
After several years, now it was time
for the couple to live separately from Kiai Gede Penanggungan. They would move
to another village. Kiai Gede gave some seeds of pari or paddy to the couple.
He asked the couple to plant the seeds. He also warned the couple not to be
arrogant when they were rich. He wanted the couple to help poor people. The
couple started a new life. They planted the seed. Soon, the seeds grew and
became a lot of rice. Now the couple became very rich. The poor neighbours came
to the couple to ask for some pari seeds, but the couple refused to help them.
Kiai Gede heard about the couple's bad
behavior. Soon he visited the couple. He met them when the couple was working
in the field. Kiai Gede talked to the couple. He reminded the couple not to be
arrogant, but the couple ignored him. They said nothing to Kiai Gede. Kiai Gede
got very angry. Then he said, "You two are like temples. You do not listen
to me". Right after he said those words, an incredible thing happened.
Slowly, Jaka and Dewi turned into temples. Because the temples stood among the
pari, people then named them as Pari Temples.
