Slowly the nine little candies burnt away, until only o remained alight. Carefully the priest leant over, unwrapped the twist of lontar leaf from its end, peered at the spidery writing, a announced . Ariaso".

The parents gasped and looked at each other. That was n the name they wanted.
"What will you do now" I asked, anticipating disappointment. "Use your own name anyway"
"Oh, no," Nyoman was horrified. "It is clear that the gods do
not wish her called Tjampaka. Maybe it is unlucky for her. Of course, we will use the name the gods have chosen."

The naming settled, the baby's head given a further dousing of holy water (this time sprinkled through a rice cooker) the christening party moved out of the kitchen to a courtyard beside the house.

in Bali 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.
