The Legend of Selat Bali



The Legend Of Selat Bali
Once upon a time in Daha kingdom there lived a Brahmin named Sidi Mantra who was very famous. Guru Sanghyang Widya gave him gifts and presented him a beautiful wife. After many years of marriage, they had a son who they named Manik Angkeran. Although Manik Angkeran was handsome and intelligent young man but he had bed behavior, he liked gambling. He often lost, so he had staked his parents’ wealth, even in debt to someone else. Because they could not pay the debt, Manik Angkeran’s father asking for help to do something.
Sidi Mantra prayed to the God. Suddenly he heard a voice, “Hi, Sidi Mantra, in the crater of Mount Agung there is a treasure guarded by a dragon, the Dragon named Basuki. Go there and ask that he would give a little fortune”. Sidi Mantra went to Mount Agung to overcome all of the problems. Arriving at the edge of Mount Agung, he sat cross-legged. As he rang the genta and called the name of Naga Basuki. In a few moments the Naga Basuki was out. After hearing the purpose of Sidi Mantra, Naga Basuki gave him gold and diamonds. After saying thank you, Sidi Mantra went home. He gave all of the gold and diamonds to Manik Angkeran in hopes he would not gamble anymore. Of course not long after, the treasure was gone for a bet. Manik Angkeran once again enlist the help of his father. Sidi Mantra of course refused to help his son.
Manik Angkeran heard from his friends that the gold and diamonds was obtained from Mount Agung. Manik Angkeran knew to get there he had to cast a spell, but he never learned about prayer and mantra. So, he just took the genta that was stolen from his father while he slept. As he arrived at the crater of Mount Agung, Manik Angkeran rang his “genta”. What a fright he saw Naga Basuki. Having heard the purpose of Manik Angkeran, he said, “I will give you treasures that asked for, but you must promise to change your behavior. Do not gamble anymore. Remember the law of karma”. Manik Angkeran stunned to see the gold, diamonds, and jewels in front of him. Suddenly there was malice in his heart that arised. Because he want to get more possessions, he cut the nail of Naga Basuki when he returned to the hive. Manik Angkeran immediately ran away and not overtaken by the Dragon. But because the miracle of the Dragon, Manik Angkeran burned to ashes during the dragon licked his tracks.
As he heard the death of his son, Sidi Mantra was grief and speechless. Soon he visited Naga Basuki and begged his son to be revived. The Dragon accepted it, otherwise, its tail origin can return to normal. With his power, Sidi Mantra could restore the dragon’s tail. After Manik Angkeran turned a life, he apologized and promised to be a good person. Sidi Mantra knew that his son had repented, but he also understood that they were no longer able to live together. “You have to start a new life but not here,” he said. In the blink of an eye he was gone. In the place where he stood there was a water source that grew larger that it became the ocean. With his cane, Sidi Mantra made a line that separated him with his son. Now the place is known as the line which is separating Java and Bali islands.
