Satuba (when his wife and children died) ran off to the woods, and there he met an orang kramat, who gave him this charm against cholera:—
Ya kayun Muhammad baka kallah
Ka hatal Makah.
The charm is called Satuba’s charm, or the charm against “Prince ‘Lick-up-the-men-of-war-ships’” (Raja Jilat juak kapal prang). The wife’s name in Arabic was Adayatu’llah, and the children’s, Hidayatu’llah and Ayatu’llah respectively.

Idu puteh, penawar puteh,
Turun deri gunong puteh,
Bertijak dengan pinggan puteh,
Bergantong di langit puteh
