Sri Rajahmura Lumaya, known in his shortened name Sri Lumay, was the first Rajah and the founder of the Indianized kingdom of Cebu. According to the epic Aginid, Bayok sa atong Tawarik,[1] a Bisayan epic story, Sri Lumay was a half-Tamil and half Malay from Sumatra. Sri Lumay was the grandfather of Rajah Humabon. He may be called a semi-legendary figure, since no other written records mentions about Sri Lumay, other than in oral traditions in the Visayan epic story of Aginid.
