ABSTRACT
This section of the Djanggawul Cycle is the smallest, and consists largely of repetition. The Djanggawul reach Duwalgidjboi, and proceed to make a well: most of the songs symbolize the removal of rangga folk from the ngainmara, the placing of djuda and rangga in the sacred well, and the rising flood waters which result. That is to say, the Djanggawul travel through the country, performing actions which are essentially the same as those they have performed elsewhere. They are making the country, creating sacred sites, erecting nara shades, and not only leaving human beings, but also putting into the wells sacred rangga objects which may be used to-day in dua moiety nara ritual. All their actions are associated with past events; their epic sea journey from Bralgu is recalled again and again. They themselves, by their presence and by their actions, are ensuring the general fertility of the land; they are simply fulfilling their major function as Creative Beings.
