4. _Betanam pentik_ (“planting a _pentik_”): A _pentik_ is a roughly carved wooden representation of a man. The _manang_ rushes through the house three times with this figure, and then plants it in the ground at the foot of the ladder of the house, and near it is put a winnowing-basket, a cooking-pot, and the piece of wood used in weaving to press the threads together. The figure is planted in the ground in the evening. If it remain till the morning in an upright position, recovery is certain; but if it be inclined either to the right or left, it is an omen of death. 5. _Bepancha_ (“making a _pancha_”): A _pancha_ is a swing erected on the tanju, or open-air platform, of the house. In this swing the _manang_ sits, and by the movement of his feet “kicks away” the disease. While seated in this swing he “catches the soul” of the patient. 6. _Ngelembayan_ (“taking a long sight”): A number of planks are laid about in the public veranda, and the _manangs_ walk upon them, chanting their incantations. Then one of their number pretends to swoon, and is supposed to sail over rivers and seas to find the soul and bring it back. 7. _Bebayak_ (“making a _bayak_, or iguana”): Some cooked rice is moulded into the shape of an iguana, and is covered over with cloths. This figure is supposed to eat up the evil spirits which cause the disease. 8. _Nemuai Ka Sabayan_ (“making a journey to Hades”): The _manangs_, with hats on their heads, march up and down the house singing their incantations. While their bodies are doing this, their souls are supposed to speed away to Hades and bring back all manner of medicinal charms and talismans, as well as the wandering soul of the sick man. 9. _Betiang garong_ (“making a post for departed souls”): A piece of bamboo is hung up to the roof-ridge, and an offering is put on the ridge. A swing is erected up there for the _manang_, and he makes his incantations and “catches the soul.” 10. _Begiling lantai_ (“rolled up in the flooring”): In this ceremony, when the _manang_ feigns to swoon, his body is rolled up in part of the flooring, and certain miniature articles are put by his side, just as a dead man’s possessions are put by his body, and the _manang_ is taken out of the house as if to be buried. 11. _Beburong raia_ (“making or acting the adjutant bird”): The _manangs_ walk up and down the house seven times, imitating the actions of the adjutant bird. They are covered with native sheets, put over their bodies like cloaks, and they pretend to personate the bird. 12. _Bebaju besi_ (“wearing an iron coat”): Each _manang_ fastens two choppers on his back and two in front, and carries one in each hand. Thus equipped, they walk round and “catch the soul.” 13. _Bebandong Api_ (“displaying fire”): The patient is laid out in the public part of the house, and several small fires are made round him. The _manangs_ pretend to dissect his body, and fan the flames towards him to drive away the sickness.
