Origin of Constellation

Patrěm is a type of keris-shaped (dagger) weapon that is smaller than a keris in general. In Nusantara era (before being Indonesia, which still ruled by kings from various kingdom), this tool was usually owned by women and knights who usually served as "telik sandi" or spies (now intelligence or investigators).

For Balinese people, the keris is considered sacred. Keris is a symbol of Linggayoni, as a Shiva shrine, Sang Hyang Tiga Sakti. Keris can be used as a tool of worship, preceded by a sacred ceremony called the Pasupati Ceremony. The Balinese people consider keris tayuhan (pajenengan) as a sacred heritage because most of the religious rituals are conducted involving Keris as the medium.

Keris is symbol of the power of ancestors and the universe that must be maintained and conserved. Irol, steel and parmor are the basic material of keris pajenengan symbolizing Tri Sakti, with wijaksara AUM. The black steel is the stana of Hyang Wisnu with wijaksara U. The red steel is the stana of Brahma with wijaksara A, white nickel is the stana of Hyang Iswara with wijaksara M.

Keris is believed to have three blades. The right blade of Keris is a symbol of Brahma’s power, who has the power of Sidha (talent). The left side of the blade is Wisnu’s power, who has the power of Sidhi (blessing/prosperity). The top blade of Keris is a symbol of Iswara’s strength that has a Sadu power (the eternal truth).

Keris was viewed as the ultimate weapon on the battlefield. The dagger symbolized resistance to evil spirits through the protection of the gods. Keris was often associated with the mystical power of the Balinese in ancient times. Among others, there is a belief that the keris has its own spirit. Historically, keris bali is a legacy of the Majapahit Kingdom. It is said that the cultural influence of the Majapahit Kingdom was so strong that war tools such as the dagger were adopted by Bali’s governments.

The existence of keris has been proved by the founding of inscriptions during the seventh to ninth centuries, namely: Humanding inscription (Krapyak, Yogyakarta, Central Java, 797 Saka / 875 CE), Tukmas inscription (Lebak Village, Magelang, Central Java, 748 Saka / 842 CE), Rukam inscription (Petarongan Village, Temanggung, Central Java, 829 Saka / 907 CE), Sukawana inscription (Sukawana village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency, Bali, 804 Saka / 882 CE), and Bulian A inscription (Bulian village, 1130 Saka / 1181 CE)

Philosophically, the Balinese dagger is seen as emblematic of the values of the life of the Hindu religion. In fact, they had a special day of prayer when they would keep the purity of their heirloom dagger. Keris is also regarded as an object of aesthetic value in the lives of the people there. Until now, the dagger is still regarded as a symbol of power and a symbol of power. Usually, Hindus who keep the Balinese heirloom decide to cleanse based on the lunar rotation of the Earth. While the day’s ritual of purification is in keeping the ancient Balinese Hindu tradition. Even the treatment of the dagger is sacred. Understandably, the keris is considered to have magical power. They believe that the dagger is a manifestation of the spirit of the ancestors. Usually, such a dagger is called Tay Tayuhuan, whose making is more important than its beauty, its choice of iron, and its prestige. Such crystals are usually wingit, haunted, radiant, and sometimes scary. Because of this, some Balinese people are willing to work and to earn a lucky dagger.

Many people think that Javanese keris and Balinese keris are the same. However, Javanese keris tend to have a smaller shape than Balinese keris. In addition, the handle on Balinese keris is designed more complexly than Javanese keris.

Mythology

There are various stories about the origin of the keris circulating in society. One popular story is that the keris was first created by the gods or great kings who had supernatural powers. In some myths, the keris is considered a gift or blessing from the gods, who have magical powers and can provide protection or even control nature.

The keris is believed to have a living soul or spirit, which can respond to requests or commands from its owner. Some keris are even seen as having the ability to cure diseases, bring good luck, or give extraordinary powers to its owner.

In many areas in Indonesia, the keris can be passed down from generation to generation, and each keris carries the legacy of the spirit or soul of its previous owner. The inherited keris is believed to have greater power because it has gone through various events and experiences from its previous owner. It is said that a keris that has been used for a long time can "live" and have the power to protect the owner's family or descendants.

The keris is considered to be able to "speak" or give instructions to its owner through dreams or certain signs. In some beliefs, there are also those who say that keris can be used to communicate with spirits or supernatural beings. Many people perform certain rituals or ceremonies to summon these spirits to provide strength or guidance through keris.

So that, each keris has a different origin that is believed by the indigenous local.
