| description | The pau-paunna Indale Patara is a Bugis literary work about the
vicissitudes and quest of a young prince, written in free prose style with
beautiful language. The story is based on the well-known Malay hikayat
Inderaputera, itself derived from an earlier Indian work, but was adapted
and transformed by the Bugis in order to make it meaningful to their own
society. In this article, I discuss various cultural concepts that the Bugis
introduced and embedded within the story and manifest in the character of
the hero, Indale Patara. In the story, these concepts interact with the
mystical form of Islam that the South Sulawesi rulers converted to at the
beginning of the 17th century. In particular, Ibn al-Arabi's concept of the
"perfect man." I demonstrate the Sufi aspects of the story and show that only
by combining Islamic and Bugis qualities and characteristics could Indale
Patara become the perfect man. |
