Batara Guru (also called Bathara Guru and Debata Batara Guru) is the name of a supreme god in several Indonesian mythologies. His name appears to be derived from Sanskrit ''Bhattara'', which means "noble lord" and ''Guru'', epithet of Bṛhaspati, a Hindu god who is a regent and identified with the planet Jupiter. ==Batara Guru in Batak mythology== Batara Guru is one of the Debata na Tolu (trinity gods), that rule Banua Ginjang (upper world, the realm of the gods). He and his brothers - Debata Sori Pada and Debata Mangala Bulan - were born from three eggs hatched by a divine giant hen, Manuk Patia Raja, an avatar of Debata Asi Asi (Shiva). He married a goddess named Siboru Porti Bulan and has two sons (Mula Songta and Mula Songti) and two daughters (Siboru Sorba Jati and Siboru Deak Parujar). Later, Siboru Deak Parujar married Siraja Odap Odap and bore children who became the ancestors of the human beings that inhabit Banua Tonga (middle world, i.e. the Earth). The omnipotent god Mula Jadi na Bolon gave Batara Guru wisdom, juridical law, royal law, knowledge and the ability to control destiny and the fate of mortals. His realm stretched from Bukit Siunggas to Bukit Parsambilan, and included the seven floored heaven where the sacred tree Hari Ara grows. Batara Guru is depicted wearing a black robe and, on his head, a three colored big boat shaped turban called "Talungkup". He rides a black horse while in his hand he bears a scale called "Gantang Tarajuan". He has a black crow and Nanggar Jati bird. He also has the ability to give human beings life, and to open their ears so that they can distinguish good from bad words (source: (Mythology of Batak (Indonesian pages) )). According to the source above, the children of Batara Guru are listed as follows (beyond Dalihan na Tolu law): # Mula Songta married Nan Bauraja, daughter of Debata Sori Pada and Siboru Malimbim # Mula Songti married Narudang Ulubegu, daughter of Debata Sori Pada and Siboru Malimbim # Siboru Sorba Jati married Naga Padoha, son of Debata Mangala Bulan and Siboru Anggarana # Siboru Deak Parujar married Siraja Odap Odap, son of Debata Mangala Bulan and Siboru Anggarana 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Batara Guru」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
