This idealized third generation - with each brother passing a prestigious duty to his eldest son - signified that Marketside East was entrenched in the classical administration of Tabanan. Traditions then stress how many sons each brother bore and whether there were any patriparallel cousin-marriages, an auspicious union in a prospering group. The youngest of the three brothers fathered by First Secretary was sonless, and other Marketside East relatives settled in the south subhouse, but ideals of the descent-based ground plan persisted. Emphasis falls, however, on the eldest brother. He had two sons: the elder bore only one son, but the latter took ten wives (one a patriparallel cousin); the first six wives each begat one son. The third brother also advanced the group's demographic strength. He bore ten remembered sons - one of whom made Marketside East's first patricousin marriage - so many that he built a northern extension of the original central quarter. But by this time, elders note, the Dutch were conquering Tabanan. The last Marketside East first secretary died in 1908, but his descendants filled other important posts during the colonial administration. Furthermore, thanks to their fecundity, Marketside East's population surpassed five hundred by the early 1970s. But the population figure refers to one group only because enough power of internal diplomacy, and ancestral will, was marshalled to hold the successive generations practically and ideologically intact.

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 |
