At the celebration of the Eka dasa Rudra [24] a more or less cubic, in any case rectangular piece
of masonry is made with a drawing of Yama Raja on it. This is the supreme ritual at which the
stutis in honor of Yama Raja are recited by the senior padanda Buddha, the only one to know
them and to use them in his ritual. But when we see a sculpture of Yama Raja in the puri,
baronial court of Kaba kaba, there is no question of Buddhism but here we have to do with the
Yama Raja of all Balinese (e). His front consists of three times three squares inscribed with
syllables, just like a drawing of Yama Raja is provided with five times five syllables. They are
the materials used to read the magic formulas in the form of Indian anustubh, four lines of eight
syllables, devised to destroy the enemy and safeguard the self [22].
