Story of Bali, Indonesia "If you can
jump over my. mighty panjar," said the King, throwing out his chest
and looking very fierce, "then I will give you half of the kingdom." Then there was great excitement, with all the citizens and many visitors coming together to see the performance. But easily the boy jumped over the panjar and the King, true to his promise, divided the kingdom equally between them. A few weeks later, the other two brothers were walking around in a different village, and they saw there preparations being made for the cremation of the old King. He had been a very popular King and they were building an enormous black bull to hold the body. The biggest black bull ever seen. While all the people were busy working, the second brother said in a loud voice: "Come, let us not waste time here. This must be some very small cremation. Just look at the miserable little bull, will you Did you ever see such a small one And no wonder - look at the blunt knife they are using." Now, the head of the workers heard this, and he strode up to the second brother, shook his knife in his face, and demanded angrily: "What You say this is a blunt knife"

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. Everything Bali Indonesia |
