different places in bali.
The
first son lived in mount agung, his name was batara agung . He enjoyed taking care
of his cattle. There was goats, chickens, pigs, cows, horses, and any other
animals in his barn.
The

He could spend hours looking at the fish in the sea.
And
the youngest son was batara batur. He enjoyed farming. There were many kinds of
trees in his fields.
All
the three sons lived peacefully and happily. The people in bali were so happy
to have them as the kings.
However
, the peaceful life was disturbed. There was an incident. Batara agung's cattle
went to batara batur's fields . The animals ate the fruits, leaves and left the
fields in a mess.
Batara
batur was angry , when he knew that his farm was in a terrible condition. He
ordered his soldiers to kill the animals. He did not know that those were
batara agung's casttle.
Batara
agung was also angry when he knew his animals were murdered. He went to batara
batur's palace.
''Why
did you kill my cattle? You can just ask them to leave! And why don't you put
fences around your fields?" said batara agung.
"I
did not know that they were your cattle. By the way, why don't you feed them
properly? They were hungry then they went to my fields!''
Batara
agung knew it was part of his mistake too. However he did not want to admit it.
Instead , he cursed it. '' I hope those dead animals will rot and produce bad
smell!''
It
happened! The dead animals in batara batur's field rotted and the smell was
terrible. People could not stand it.
''We
have to throw them away to the sea!'' ordered batara batur.
The
sea was polluted by the dead animals. The seawater smelled so bad. The dead
animals produced poison and that killed the fish!
Batara
andakasa was angry. When he knew that the sea was polluted by the dead animals
thrown by batara batur, he went to batara batur's palace.
''
You should have buried the dead animals !'' said batara andakasa
He
was so angry , he then cursed the dead animals.
''
I hope those dead animals will change into pests and destroyed the farms!''
Unfortunately
it happened! The dead animals in the sea changed into pests. They all destroyed
the trees in the fields .
Batara
siwa heard about the problem. He advised his sons live peacetully and help one
another.

problem , batara siwa asked batara batur to apologize to batara andakasa.

UPACARA NANGLUK MERANA
Sekali
waktu di Jawa, ada seorang raja yang bijaksana namanya Batara Siwa. Ia memiliki
tiga anak. Mereka adalah raja di tempat yang berbeda di Bali.
Anak
pertama tinggal di Gunung Agung, namanya Batara Agung. Ia menikmati mengurus
ternaknya. Ada kambing, ayam, babi, sapi, kuda, dan hewan lainnya di gudangnya.
Putra
kedua hidup di laut. Namanya Batara Andakasa. Ia mencintai ikan sangat banyak.
Dia bisa menghabiskan berjam-jam melihat ikan di laut.
Dan
anak bungsu adalah Batara Batur. Ia menikmati pertanian. Ada banyak jenis pohon
di ladang.
Semua
tiga anak hidup damai dan bahagia. Orang-orang di Bali sangat senang memiliki
mereka sebagai raja.
Namun,
kehidupan damai terganggu. Ada kecelakaan. Ternak batara Agung ini pergi ke
ladang Batara Batur ini. Binatang makan buah, daun dan meninggalkan ladang
berantakan.
Batara
Batur marah, ketika ia tahu bahwa pertanian berada dalam kondisi yang
mengerikan. Ia memerintahkan prajuritnya untuk membunuh binatang. Dia tidak
tahu bahwa mereka adalah ternak Batara Agung.
Batara
Agung juga marah ketika ia tahu hewan itu dibunuh. Ia pergi ke istana Batara
Batur.
''
Kenapa kau membunuh sapi saya? Anda hanya dapat meminta mereka untuk
meninggalkan! Dan kenapa tidak anda menempatkan pagar di sekitar ladang?
"kata Batara Agung.
"Aku
tidak tahu bahwa mereka ternak anda. Omong-omong, kenapa tidak anda memberi
mereka makan dengan benar? Mereka lapar maka mereka pergi ke ladang saya! ''
Batara
Agung tahu itu adalah bagian dari kesalahannya juga. Namun ia tidak mau
mengakuinya.
Sebaliknya,
dia mengutuk itu. '' Saya berharap mereka hewan yang mati akan membusuk dan
menghasilkan bau! ''
Itu
terjadi! Hewan yang mati di lapangan batara batur yang membusuk dan bau
mengerikan. Orang tidak tahan.
''
Kita harus membuangnya ke laut! '' Memerintahkan Batara Batur.
Laut
itu tercemar oleh hewan mati. Air laut yang berbau begitu buruk. Hewan mati
yang diproduksi racun dan yang membunuh ikan!
Batara
Andakasa marah. Ketika ia tahu bahwa laut itu tercemar oleh hewan mati yang dilemparkan
oleh batara Batur, ia pergi ke istana Batara Batur.
''
Anda harus mengubur hewan mati! '' Kata batara andakasa
Ia
sangat marah, ia kemudian mengutuk hewan mati.
''
Saya berharap mereka binatang mati akan berubah menjadi hama dan menghancurkan
peternakan! ''
Sayangnya
itu terjadi! Hewan mati di laut berubah menjadi hama. Mereka semua hancur
pohon-pohon di ladang.
Batara
Siwa mendengar tentang masalah. Ia menyarankan anak-anaknya hidup damai dan
membantu satu sama lain.
Namun
hama sudah dikalikan dan mereka menyerang ladang lainnya. Untuk memecahkan
masalah, Batara Siwa meminta Batara Batur meminta maaf Kepada Batara Andakasa.
Ia
meminta Batara Batur untuk pergi ke laut membawa beberapa persembahan.
Batara
Batur melakukannya. Ia berharap Batara Andakasa akan memaafkannya dan
pohon-pohon akan tumbuh dengan baik. Batara Andakasa memaafkannya. Namun ia
meminta Batara Batur untuk secara tetap membawa persembahan ke laut.
Kebiasaan
masih terjadi sampai sekarang. Orang menamai itu sebagai Upacara Nangluk Merana.
Itu diadakan dalam rangka untuk mencegah pertanian dari hama.
