Amatunding married Gayang, the sister of Qudrat, and begot Anta, Nagu, and Umbun and the daughters Pindaw, Dawa-dawa, Bayu, Sayib, and Umang. Umang was the grandmother of the sultan of Ramitan. Nagu was the grandfather of the sultan of Tubuk. Anta was the grandfather of the Sultan Sarip Ulu of Dissan. Umbun was the grandfather of Makakuyung, the sultan of Tapurug. Umbun begot Burwa. Burwa begot Mama and Nanak. Nanak begot Bnul, who married Baya Wata of Kabuntalan. Bnul left Baya Wata and went to Unayan with an understanding that unless he returned in forty days their marriage would be null. Bnul did not return, so Baya Wata married Timbang Sulug, and soon after gave birth to Damda, whom she conceived by Bnul. Mana, the brother of Nanak, married the daughter of the sister of the sultan of Sulug and begot Datu Milbahar, Bantilan, and Datu Adana. MANUSCRIPT NO. VI THE HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF MAGINDANAO PROPER INTRODUCTION This manuscript is a copy of the original which is in the possession of Datu Mastura, the best-informed datu of Magindanao, and the son of Sultan Qudrat Jamalu-l-A'lam Untung, the greatest of the late sultans of Magindanao. Datu Mastura has the best collection of Magindanao books and records and owns the most reliable of the royal documents that have been preserved. This copy is one of the best specimens of Magindanao literature extant. It is principally genealogy and speaks briefly of the early history of Magindanao and the rise of its sultanate, its main purpose being to preserve the record of descent and determine the right of succession to the sultanate. The first page describes the birth of Putri Tunina and her relation to Tabunaway, the ruler of Magindanao. The second page describes the coming of Sharif Kabungsuwan to Magindanao, his conversion of Mindanao to Islam, and his marriage to Putri Tunina. The third page gives an account of Kabungsuwan's marriage to a princess from Malabang and his descendants from her. The rest of the manuscript is a detailed account of births and descendants down to the birth of the great grandfather of the present sultan, which must have occurred shortly before the beginning of the nineteenth century. It is the most complete and the most nearly correct copy that exists. It is written at a later period than that of No. V, and covers two later generations. The history and genealogy of the nineteenth century were obtained by personal investigation and inquiry from the oldest and most reliable datus and other persons living. Diagrams Nos. 3 and 4 show the descent of the rulers of Magindanao from Kabungsuwan to the present time. The full names and titles of the sultans in the order of their succession are as follows:
