•In the battle, Rangda put a spell on Airlangga’s army that made them want to kill themselves with their own kris daggers.
•You will recall from our previous session that the kris is a sacred instrument often used in rituals which is believed to embody supernatural power.
•In this drama, Barong himself cast a spell that made the soldiers’ bodies resistant to their krises. This enabled Airlangga’s side to defeat Rangda, who fled, thereby bringing restoring balance in the cosmos.
