The mantra is in the form of expressions or words can bring magic power. The power aims to provide strength for human in performing various activities. The forms can be praises to something to be considered as sacred such as gods, spirits, animals, or God usually uttered by sanro (shaman) and pinati (one who has magic power to perform something). The mantra tends to be free in terms of syllables, lines, and rhymes. The unity of the mantra text is more dominated by irregular rhyme and alteration.
