Malay Believe: Father Sky and Mother Earth

The Malay Medicine
The Mantra, a proto-Malay tribe, claim to be descended from Mertang, the first magician, who was the child of two persons called Drop of Water and Clod of Earth. In the Mollucas the earth is a female deity, who in the west monsoon is impregnated by Lord Sun heaven. The Trojas in Celebes believed in two supreme powers, the Man and the Maiden, that is, the sun and the earth. The Dayaks of Borneo hold that the sun and the earth created the world, ‘Father Sky and Mother Earth’, occur also in a mixture of Sanskrit and the vernacular Bali.

In Malay they are addressed not only by the shaman but by the master of the shadow play, before the drama of Rama and Sita is enacted: but then the player is an incarnation of Vishnu, of whom Rama was an avatar.
