Story of Bali, Indonesia
So it was - and his grandchildren still speak of this miracle
Not always, though, was a King's path easy.
Such a King once lived in Klungkung and, as the years passed, he began
-to suspect that his High Priest was neglecting him. (Anyone who did not
clock-in at the Palace at least twice a" day was a drop-out in the
King's opinion).
To punish this priest
(or Pedanda as he was called) the King had a servant catch one of his
geese, put it at the bottom of a deep well, replace the cover and send
the priest to him.
When the Pedanda arrived, a perfectly spine-chilling racket burst forth
from the well, as the goose frantically fought for its freedom.
Begging the Priest
be seated, the King then craftily asked: "Can you tell me what is
causing this hideous uproar.
The Pedanda clasped his ring hands, gravely put his head on one side,
listening, before replying:
your Majesty, only one thing could make such a noise. There must surely
be a giant serpent, a naga banda, in your well."
Well pleased, because he was about to make the High Priest look very small
potatoes indeed, the King threw back his head and laughed:
"No, you are wrong Take off the cover and see"
So the Pedanda stepped forward, swept the cover off the well and out rose
a giant serpent - the dreaded naga banda - and swiftly twined itself around
the King, imprisoning him in its coils.
Help " cried the King, frantically fighting for air. "Save me
and I will do whatever you wish."

we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between
two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists
of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided
in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The
former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still
considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely
purified ancestors who are considered as divine.
No contact is sought with the pirata, the dead who have not yet been cremated.
Oil the contrary they are dangerous, Offerings must however be made for the
redemption of their souls.
