Contoh Mitos Dalam Bahasa Inggris

Quite a long time ago, Batara Guru charged every one of the divine beings and goddesses to
contribute their energy with a specific end goal to manufacture another royal residence. Anyone
who defied this instruction were viewed as languid and would lose their arms and legs.

Listening to the Batara Gurus decree, Naga god was exceptionally restless on the grounds that
he didnt have arms or legs. He may not be capable carry out the employment. So he asked
exhortation from Batara Narada who was the more youthful sibling of Batara Guru. Tragically
Narada was likewise befuddled. The Naga god turned out to be extremely disturbed.

While the Naga god was weeping for his misfortune, three teardrops fell on the ground. Not long
after that, those teardrops got to be three lovely sparkling eggs which looked like gems. At that
point Batara Narada exhorted him to offer those sparkling eggs to Batara Guru.

With the three eggs in his mouth, the Naga god went to the Batara Gurus royal residence. In
transit, a falcon made an inquiry. Clearly Naga god couldnt answer the inquiry on the grounds
that he was holding the eggs in his mouth. Seeing that, the feathered creature felt that Naga god
was self-important and the fowl assaulted him.

Being assaulted, one egg tumbled to earth. At that point Naga god was stowing away in the
brambles yet the flying creature was sitting tight for him. The feathered creature assaulted for the
second time and one egg fell once more. So Naga god just had one egg in his mouth. He
continued moving to Batara Gurus castle.

At long last Naga god touched base at the royal residence. He offered the egg to the Batara Guru.
Whats more, marvelously the egg incubated turned into an exceptionally lovely child young
lady. Naga god gave the infant young lady to the Batara Guru. The child grew up into a
wonderful young lady and later known for Dewi Sri.

Mitos Dewi Sri

Mitos Dewi Sri berhubungan dengan kesuburan tanaman padi

Zaman dahulu kala, Batara Guru memerintahkan semua dewa dan dewi untuk membantunya
dalam rangka membangun sebuah istana baru . Siapapun yang tidak mematuhi perintah ini
dianggap malas dan akan kehilangan lengan dan kakinya.

Mendengar perintah Batara Guru tersebut, dewa Naga sangat cemas karena ia tidak memiliki
lengan atau kaki . Dia mungkin tidak dapat melakukan pekerjaan itu. Maka dia meminta saran
dari Batara Narada yang merupakan adik dari Batara Guru . Sayangnya Batara Narada juga
merasa bingung . Dewa Naga pun menjadi sangat sedih .

ketika dewa Naga menangis meratapi nasib buruknya , tiga air mata jatuh ke tanah . Tidak lama
setelah itu , air mata itu berubah menjadi tiga telur yang bersinar indah yang tampak seperti
permata . Lalu Batara Narada menyarankan dia untuk menawarkan telur-telur itu kepada Batara
Guru .

Dengan tiga telur dalam mulutnya, dewa Naga pergi ke istana Batara Guru . Dalam perjalanan,
seekor elang bertanya kepadanya. Tentunya Naga Dewa tidak bisa menjawab pertanyaan itu
karena dia membawa telur dalam mulutnya . Melihat hal itu, burung itu berpikir bahwa Naga
dewa adalah dewa yang sombong. Burung itu lalu menyerangnya.

Karena diserang oleh elang itu, satu telur terjatuh ke bumi . Kemudian Naga dewa bersembunyi
di semak-semak tapi burung tetap menunggunya. Burung itu menyerang untuk kedua kalinya dan
satu telur lagi terjatuh. Sehingga dewa Naga hanya memiliki satu telur dalam mulutnya . Dia
terus bergerak menuju istana Batara Guru.

Akhirnya dewa Naga tiba di istana . Dia menawarkan teluritu ke Batara Guru . Dan ajaibnya
telur itu menetas dan menjadi bayi perempuan yang sangat cantik . Dewa Naga memberikan bayi
perempuan itu kepada Batara Guru. Bayi itu tumbuh menjadi gadis yang cantik dan kemudian
