258 Loro kidul, generally called Nyai Loro kidul, the beautiful lady of the South. Is a fabulous personage to whom the Javanese attach much mysterious importance. She is the spirit of the mysterious Southern ocean whom the natives fancy they can consult on grand occassions of emergency. Her abode is supposed to be in the grotto of Manchingan in the territory of Jugyakarta. (She is also known at Bali, and is a form of the consort of Siva. Her abode being placed in the South is a token more of the Hindus, at least partly, settling first on the South coast of Java. Fr).
