        <description><![CDATA[ Unlike Nunas Tirta Pemuket, where the request is for sacred water for spiritual purification, Nunas Jejaton Pemiyut involves requesting materials such as rice, padi, palawija (food crops other than rice), spices, and similar items in small quantities. These small quantities of the core element, which have spiritual power and purity, are then mixed with larger quantities of materials during the grand ceremony. The purpose of using this small quantity is to impart spiritual power, remove impurities, and spread purity throughout the larger quantities of ceremonial materials. As a result, these larger quantities gain the satwika quality—pure, harmonious, and benevolent spiritual attributes—making them ready for use in ritual and spiritual contexts. ]]></description>
