Abstract
I feel uncertain about how to express myself, whether to say: the sources on cosmogony and creation are plentiful but contradictory in details, or perhaps: our sources are sufficiently numerous, sometimes they mutually eliminate scribes’ errors, sometimes they complement one another, but sometimes also they are mutually contradictory, not to mention that sometimes they are lacking in lucidity. Finally, since we are in the habit of speaking of textures and patterns in the field of human traditions, it seemed plausible to present this section of Balinese tradition, consisting of Indian and Indonesian threads, in its different aspects and to try to unravel these threads.
