Incidentally:-
"Scabbard: not shown, mouthpiece elaborate sesrengatan form (javan. ladrangan), reserved for the spiritual and secular upper classes (brahmana, khsatrya)." Current opinion in Bali seems to be that the sesrengatan wrongko form is the Balinese equivalent of the Javanese ladrangan, that is, the dress form that is correct wear for formal and official occasions. I have never heard of it being the prerogative of Brahmana & K'satriya, additionally Neka's understanding seems to be the same as my own. |

Sid, this is the first time I have heard that name for these piercings at the blade base, but I like it, it is most appropriate.
If we take the entire wilah as Meru : Siwa and the sogokan as Lingga : Siwa, then those piercings as the eyes of Siwa seem to fit right in. |
