Commentary
Titi Surti Nastiti reads biŋba and in her translation indicates “Bingba (= Arca)”, which implies that she sees a connection with the Sanskrit word bimba “image”. This raises questions both about the meaning of liṅga, and about the history of usage of the panyecek, which would thus stand for /m/ (rather than usual /ŋ/). It is interesting to note the meanings of hyaṁ “ancestor” and biṁba “image” in Kawali 4 and Kawali 5. One may wonder whether the difference between ancestors and ‘Hindu’ gods is relevant here, in which case each liṅga would have been used for worship of a specific type of deity.
