Purrukuparli taught his son, Jinani, to hunt on land and sea. This is carried on today between father and son. One day Jinani became sick and died. Purrukuparli's brother, Japarra, said he would take Jinani away for three days and return him alive. Purrukuparli does not believe him, saying, 'All die, never come back'. John Patrick Kelantumama
