- The first is Batára Gúru.
- The second Batára Bráma, emblematical of fire.
- The third Batára Wísnu, emblematical of water.
- The fourth Batára Séwa, emblematical of air.
Besides these they have several other deities, not however termed Batára, as:
Déwa Géde Segara, the deity of the sea.
Déwa Géde Dálam, emblematical of death.
Déwa Géde Báli Agung, the deity in whose temple (which is near the kadaton of the Raja), the common people on particular days pay worship.
Déwa Géde Gúnung Agung, a deity still more generally worshipped, and to whom all the Rajas and people of Báli pay adoration.
The deity Mahadéwa is known and mentioned in the religious books, but is not an object of worship.
Batára Gúru is considered as the highest object of worship below the divinity. Sang yang Túng'gal (the Lord who is one).
I shall close this account of the religion of Báli with the following literal translation of an account of the Hindu religion, furnished to me by an intelligent Mahomedan, a native of the island.
"The religion of Búdh, as it exists on Báli, is divided into Sakálan and Niskálan. The first regards all worldly concerns, such as the orders of the prince, the laws of the land, &c., including the common affairs and transactions of life; the second comprehends all the duties and ceremonies of religion, the conducting of which is in the hands of the Maperwíta, or learned Brahmins called Padénda.
