RECORDS OF MALAY MAGIC. 27 
Assalam aleikum mambang tali harus yang dudok di tali 
harus 
Assalam aleikum Jin Itam, yang dudok permata’an telok 
Assalam aleikum Jin Puteh, yang dudok di-ujong tanjong, 
Janganlah angkau ber- kachau-kachau. 
The next day, and until the bait is taken, the Pawang goes 
to look at the fowl. The very next morning, perhaps, he finds 
it gone, and at low tide he makes search up and down the river 
until he sees the end of the long rattan line sticking up some- 
where among the mangrove roots. This he hauls in, hand over 
hand, until the crocodile which swallowed the fowl appears on 
the scene, when he dispatches the brute as best he » may. If the 
crocodile, we are told, shows a disposition to fight the repetition 
of the following charm will be found efficacious. 
Pasu jantan, pasu renchana 
Tutop pasu, penolak pasu, 
Kau mementang kapada aku, terjantang mata-kau, 
_Jantong kau sudah ’ku gantong 
Hati-kau sudah ’ku rantei 
Si Pulut namanya usar, 
Berdreilah daun salasih, 
Aku tutop hati yang besar 
Aku gantong lidab yang fasik 
Jantong-kau sudah ku gantong 
-. Hati-kau sudah ku rantei 
Rantei Allah, rantei Mohamad 
Rantei Baginda Rasulallah. 
Lanchang charms. 
The most complete, and at the same time most beautiful, 
description of the Lanchang that is known to me is the one in the 
invocation addressed to the Tiger spirit already ¢ given. A brief- 
er Lanchang charm runs as follows :— | 
“Hei Datoh ka- -sang jambu agai,* 
-Trimakan ini menganter-kan katelok 
Si (Anu) yang membrikan ei 
Serkong ¢ (Si Rekong) namanya telok 
Serking (?'Si Reking) namanya tanjong 
Si Abas anak tokong pulau
