Kalau datang satu hal
Bergrak-lah dalam kelebu yang suchi!
[clxxxiv] Tilek Penyakit
Another method of “water-gazing,” by looking into a cup containing saliva produced by chewing betel
The directions for this ceremony run as follows:—
Get (preferably) a woman (or failing a woman, a man), to chew up for you three “chews” of betel-leaf (betel-leaf with meeting leaf-ribs (sirih bertĕmu urat) is the best). Receive the saliva in a cup and cover it over with a betel-leaf. Fumigate it with incense and then remove the covering, and “gaze” at it (tilek) intently. The following are the signs which you must look for:—
(1) If it looks yellowish it shows that the patient has been affected by rain in the heat of the day.
(Kalau rĕchak-rechak kuning rupa chahia-nya, kena hujan panas.)
(2) If it is pitted (with hollows) it shows that the patient has been affected by a stopped-up well or buffalo-wallow.
(Kalau rupa berlubok-lubok, kena prigi buta atau kubangan.)
