Continued... Bali now: an indigenous retrospect (pre-1906 to Post-1971) Distinguished birth is like a cipher: it has no power in itself lice wealth, or talent, or personal excellence, but it tells with all the power of a cipher, when added to either of the others. J.F. Boyes Descent was the
proof of legitimacy par excellence. The fewer the evidences of a right
of succession on the ground of heredity, the greater the effort which
had to be made to adduce supernatural proofs of the justice of claims.
And when claims based on heredity were (to say the least) dubious, the
historiographer made every effort to smooth out genealogical irregularities
(1957).

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 |
