Daeng Parani became personally embroiled in the politics of the Sultanates of Johor, Riau, Lingga and Pahang in the early 18th century.

==Early life== Daeng Parani was the eldest among five sons of Daeng Rilaka and Opu Tenribong;<ref name="Bastin-Winks94">Bastin, Winks, ''Malaysia: Selected Historical Readings'', pg 94</ref> his four other brothers being Daeng Menambun, Daeng Marewah, Daeng Chelak and Daeng Kemasi.<ref>Ali, Hooker, Andaya, ''The Precious Gift: Tuhfat Al-nafis, Oxford University Press'', pg 44</ref> As a youth, Daeng Parani was said to have had sex with a concubine of the Raja of Bone, during which he killed a Macassar prince, forcing his entire family to resettle in Riau.<ref name="Bastin-Winks94"/>

==Involvement in Johor== Daeng Parani agreed to assist a Minangkabau prince, Raja Kecil, in overthrowing Johor<ref>{{Cite book |last=Winstedt |first=R.O. |url=http://archive.org/details/dli.ernet.240629 |title=Journal Of The Malayan Branch Of The Royal Asiatic Society |date= |publisher=The Malayan Branch Of The Royal Asiatic Society |year=1993 |location=Singapore |pages=3 |language=en}}</ref> and its sultan Abdul Jalil IV, the Bendahara (viceroy) who had taken power after the death of Sultan Mahmud Shah II without an official heir. Kecil claimed to be Mahmud's posthumous son. In 1717, however, Kecil attacked Riau without Daeng Parani, and claimed the throne. Abdul Jalil IV's son, Sulaiman Badrul Alam Shah, then sought the help of Daeng Parani and his Bugis warriors. They joined with Sulaiman and defeated Kecil in 1722. Sulaiman installed Daeng Parani's brother, Daeng Merewah, as Yam Tuan Muda (crown prince); under this arrangement, the Bugis were the actual power behind the throne of Johor.

==Death== In 1726 while leading a battle against the forces of Raja Kecil in Kedah, when his Bugis warship sailed passed Raja Kecil's fort, he was shot and killed on the ship's gunwale. Enraged by his death, the Bugis stormed the fort and killed every Kedah and Siak people they encountered there.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Winstedt |first=Richard |date=1936 |title=Notes on the History of Kedah |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41559857 |journal=Journal of the Malayan Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society |volume=14 |issue=3 (126) |pages=155–189 |issn=2304-7550}}</ref>
