They are immune, can not hurt a weapon of any kind. Her aura radiates dignity of a warrior, and his eyes throb opponent.Narrated, Prabu Kian Santang have been traveling throughout the land Pasundan. But all his life he had never met anyone who is able to injure his body.Though this young man wanted to see his own blood. So one day, she begged her father to look for a great opponent.To meet the demand of his son, King Siliwangi collect the astrologers. He asked for help to them to show who and where the powerful are able to beat his son.Then came a grandfather who could show people who had been sought. According to the grandfather, warriors can beat Raden Kian Santang in the holy land of Mecca, his name Sayyidina Ali."I want to meet him," said Raden Kian Santang. "To be able to meet him, there are conditions that must be fulfilled raden," said the grandfather.The terms are to be meditated first in Ujung Kulon, or the west end Pasundan (at that time still an area Banten Sundanese).In addition Kian Santang should be renamed Galantrang Setra. Two conditions mentioned is not a barrier.Soon the name Raden Kian Santang Galantrang Setra. After that he immediately went to Ujung Kulon to meditate for 40 days.Furthermore Galantrang Setra go to Mecca. It is said that Kian Santang which has been renamed Setra Galantrang went to Mecca with his power of science so that it takes a long time to get there. Arriving in Arabic, he went straight to Sayyidina Ali."You know with Sayyidina Ali ?," asked Kian Santang at a burly man who happened to bump into her."Do you know all," he replied."Then can you take me there?"

Yes, as long as you want to get the wand."In order to meet with Ali, Kian Santang according to a stick stuck in the sand.But was surprised him when he tried to pull the stick does not work, even though he is exerting all his power and pores to sweat blood.Once you know Kian Santang could not revoke his stick, then went up to him while reading Bismillah stick wand that could easily be revoked.Kian Santang surprised to see that person simply pulled out the staff was himself can not pull it out."Mantra what you just read to you so easily pulled the wand? Can you spell teach it to me? ""Can not, because you are not Muslims."When he was dazed by the answer man, one who happened to pass in front of them greet; "Assalamu'alaikum Sayyidina Ali." Hearing the greeting that he now knew that Sayyidina Ali who he is looking for is a person who had been with him.Once I realized this, the desire to try his magic Kian Santang destroyed instantly. "How can I be able to beat him was raising his wand was I could not," he thought.Long story short Santang Kian finally converted to Islam. And after a few months of study Islamic religion she intends to return to Padjadjaran to persuade his father to also embrace Islam.Arriving in Pajajaran, he immediately to his father. He told his experience in the land of Mecca from the beginning to meet Sayyidina Ali to convert to Islam.Therefore, he hopes his father converted to Islam as well. But unfortunately Kian Santang solicitation is not intercepted and his father insisted on Hinduism from birth was followed.Kian Santang how disappointed upon hearing the answers his father who refused to follow his invitation.For that reason he decided to return to Mecca to deepen his Islam with the hope of getting smart as he preaches his father might be persuaded to convert to Islam as well.After 7 years living in Mecca, Kian Santang went back again to Pajajaran to try Islamicize father.

Kian Santang hear back Prabu Siliwangi which remains at its founding to remain Hindus it certainly was upset.Therefore, when Kian Santang was on his way to the palace, with his power Prabu Siliwangi conjure palace Padjadjaran into the jungle.Remarkably shocked Kian Santang after arriving in the territory of the palace Pajajaran palace did not find it and that looks even the wilderness, when he was sure and infallible, that's where Padjadjaran palace stood.And finally after searching him find his father and his bodyguards out of the woods.With all due respect, he asked his father, "O father, why father live in the woods? Though my father was a king. Is it appropriate for a king living in the woods? Better we go back to the palace. Ananda wanted to father converted to Islam. "Prabu Siliwangi not answer the question of his son, instead she asked, "O Ananda, then what is worth living in the forest?""Its worth staying in the forest is a tiger," said Kian Santang.That said, suddenly Prabu Siliwangi and his followers transformed into a tiger. Kiansantang regretted he had said to the tiger and his father transformed into a tiger.Therefore, despite having turned into a tiger, but Kian Santang still continue to persuade them to embrace Islam.But apparently the tigers would not heed his call. They fled to the southern area, which now enter the Garut region. Kian Santang trying to catch and block their escape.He would like once again to persuade them. Unfortunately his efforts failed. They are no longer willing to talk to and enter the cave that is now known as Sancang cave, which is located in Leuweung Sancang, in Garut.
