Fa-Koli volunteers to perform the magic ritual for destroying Sumamuru learned by Kulunkan. He does so and also uses magic darts to draw out the Susu forces, who are defeated by Son-Jara and his generals. The victors makes Sumamuru's son, Mansa Saman , carry Doka the Cat on his shoulders both as honor to Doka the Cat and as humiliation to Mansa Saman. One general, Tura Magan , is so disappointed he digs his grave and gets in it. The epic ends with the kingdom united.
Islamic beliefs are of lesser importance in the epic.
The editors of your textbook say that The Epic of Son-Jara is a fusion of three distinct generic layers. Compare Susu Mountain Sumamuru with Son-Jara. All rights reserved.
