The Pedanda plucked
a bow and arrow out of the air. (You doubt it He could pull a serpent
out of a well - why not a weapon from the air) and killed the dragon with
a magic arrow, thus saving the King.
"From this day on," declared the Pedanda, "as punishment
for trying to trick me, neither you nor your heirs will be able to get
into Paradise, unless a Pedanda first kills a dragon."
"So be it," said the King, humbly bowing his head.
But the King was a clever man, determined not to lose face, so he gathered
his ministers together and announced grandly:
"A great honour
has this day been granted me. The High Priest has decreed that before
my cremation a naga banda must be killed, so that its spirit may guide
my soul to Heaven"
Not unnaturally, when the other Kings heard of the wonderful favour bestowed,
they were livid.
"What The King of Klungkung to have his own special escort to Heaven
Unheard of"
If shooting a dragon could procure this, then each and every King resolved
to have his own private Pedanda shoot his own private dragon before his
cremation. No special treatment for the King of Klungkung
Thus was a penance converted to a privaledge, as it became customary for
Kings - and Kings only - to be "guided" to Heaven by the "Royal"
dragon.

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.
