Sri Putri World has apparently wedded to the progenitor of a son who was named the Master, who later became king in Muara Takus offspring is PAMUNCAK RAJA Datuk DUBALAI. Muara Takus in the last king is RAJA BICAU. Perhaps city Muara Takus mouth very wide so that if a cat goes exploring city roof of a house takes time for three months until the new come back again.
Pongkai is the name of a village that is located on the downstream stem Kampar approximately 8 km from the village of Muara Takus. According to local folklore bricks used to build the temple in the Muara Takus, made this didesa Pongkai.
