The kris of Nurulla was broken into several pieces. Then Nurulla said to Jambangan: If I request something of you, will you give it?
Jambangan said: What do you want?
Said Nurulla: I ask you to let your life leave your body.
Jambangan said: If you are eager to have my life, I will give it to you. He then sat down and shouted into the air and called Nurulla to come near him, and his life was no more.
Jambangan was pitiful as he lay down [[strikethrough]] ajo [[/strikethrough]] on the grass; his body was so strong that it would not rot for 14 years. A bird flew over him and saw him, and then went to Sinaganbuhan and told her: Why do you not go to Jambangan? He is lying dead in the grass; he died because of you.
Sinaganbuhan went to get the body of Jambangan from the grass. When the body was in her house, she called together all of her relatives and said: What do you think of this Jambangan? He died because of you. She then went to the forest to cut trees for the coffin of J. As J. lay on the mattress, Sinagbuhan cried. 
Mohammad Jambangan was then bathed and wrapped in white silken cloth. His body was then taken to the cemetery. The body was placed inside the grave and Sinaganbuhan put a marker on his grave. When Sinaganbuhan arrived home she told her servant to close her house forever because from now on she must be considered a widow. She ordered her servant to tell the people that so long as Jambangan is under the care of God she will not leave her house.
When Jambangan had been dead for [[strikethrough]] years a [[/strikethrough]] months and years, Sinaganbulan became very thin because she still remembered Jambangan. She announced: Five days from now my maligai will fly into the ocean looking for Jambangan. After five days, her maligai flew into the ocean to look for Jambangan. The maligai met a [[strikethrough]] n [[/strikethrough]] turtle and asked it if it had seen Jambangan; the turtle said it had not seen him. They then met a whale and asked him if he had seen Jambangan. The whale said: Jambangan has not yet eaten, so come inside my stomach to look for him. Inside the whale's stomach, there were many pearls. They then left the whale's stomach.
Jati (the captain of the maligai) then asked the people in the next place they encountered: Who are those persons making noise.
The reply was: They are all cousins.
Then Jairatul Allah happened to meet Nurullah in that place; they were to be wedded in five days. Ninety-nine imams went to attend the wedding ceremony of Jairatul Allah [[strikethrough]] Nuru [[/strikethrough]] and Nurullah. Jairatul sent a message to Sinaganbuhan that she should attend her wedding. When Sinaganbuhan arrived at Jairatul's house, J. was surprised to see her so very thin.
S. said: I have been mourning because Jambangan was killed by Nurulla and Aminulla.
Jairatul Allah [[strikethrough]] : [[/strikethrough]] asked: Who took care of his burial and S said that she was the one. 
Then Jairatul Allah asked permission from Sinaganbuhan to visit the sacred grave of J; she was permitted to do so. When Jairatul arrived at about five fathoms from the grave of Jambangan, she began to cry because she pitied him so.
