Zabur [138] Hijau is your name, O Incense, Zabur Bajang the name of your Mother, Zabur Puteh the name of your Fumes, Scales from the person of God's Apostle [139] were your Origin. May you fumigate the Seven Tiers of the Earth, May you fumigate the Seven Tiers of the Sky, And serve as a summons to all Spirits, to those which have magic powers, and those which have become Saints of God, The Spirits of God's elect, who dwell in the Halo of the Sun, And whose resort is the "Ka`bah" of God, At even and morn, by night and day; And serve as a summons to the Elect of God, Who dwell at the Gate of the Spaces of Heaven, And whose resort is the White Diamond In the Interior of Egypt, at morn and eve, Who know (how) to make the dead branch live, And the withered blossom unfold its petals, And to perform the word of God; By the grace of (the creed) "There is no god but God," etc. The direction taken by the fumes of the incense is observed and noted for the purpose of divination; this feature of the rite will be noticed under the heading of Medicine. [140] Another form of sacrifice consists in the scattering of rice. The sacrificial rice (Oryza sativa) used in the ceremonies is always of the following kinds: firstly, parched rice (b'ras bertih); secondly, washed rice (b'ras basoh); thirdly, saffron-stained rice (b'ras kunyit, i.e. rice stained with turmeric); [141] and, finally, a special kind of glutinous rice called pulut (Oryza glutinosa), which is also very generally used for sacrificial banquets. Of these, the parched rice is generally used for strewing the bottom of the sacrificial tray (anchak) when the framework has been covered with banana leaves, but the offerings have not yet been deposited within it. The washed and saffron rice are generally used for scattering either over the persons to be benefited by the ceremony, or else upon the ground or house-floor. With reference to the selection of rice for this purpose, it has been suggested that the rice is intended to attract what may be called the "bird-soul" (i.e. the soul of man conceived as a bird) to the spot, or to keep it from straying at a particularly dangerous moment in the life of its owner. The pulut or glutinous rice is the kind of rice generally used for sacrificial banquets, e.g. for banquets at "high places," etc. Lustration is generally accomplished either by means of fire or of water. The best examples of the former are perhaps the fumigation of infants, and the api saleian or purificatory fire, over which women are half-roasted when a birth has taken place, but these being special and distinctive ceremonies, will be described with others of the same nature in Chapter VI.
