When the body is deposited in the coffin,

respectively, a water-jug (kandzl), a set of sireh vessels 
(chirana), a flower-bowl, and a censer (perasapan),

10. Four men scatter alms (sédékah) and beat gongs 
(chanang). 
The performance of these eight duties completes the tale 
of the 3 2 prescribed ceremonies outside the house. 
A procession to the tomb is then formed and the coffin 
is borne over a path spread with white cloth : 
On arrival at the tomb, all chiefs seat themselves on the 
ground and receive the alms (sédékah) to which their 
status entitles them, viz: 
to the VIII tribal chiefs (lembaga yang d’lapan), 
to the V tribal chiefs in the lowland district, 
to the IV tribal chiefs in the up-land district, 
to the four members of the privy council of the Undang, 
whether present or not, 18 cents apiece ; 
or, if their wives be present, 36 cents apiece. 
to tribal officers (halu-balang) 12 cents apiece ; 
or if their wives be present, 24 cents apiece. 
No payment is made to the wives of chiefs unless present 
at the ceremony.
