…Baraya, baraya, agabaraya…
…The heart is a candle, so burn this place…
These were prayers that had been handed down since ancient times.
As monks chanted Amitabha, the Demonic cultists chanted Baraya.
…Baraya, baraya, agabaraya…
…The heart is a candle, so burn this place…
No one knew what ‘baraya’ meant. So Baek-hyang also didn’t know. The old man who brought So Baek-hyang to the Demonic Cult didn’t know. They memorized it without understanding.
For So Baek-hyang, Baraya was a song of the people. It was a scream. Screams originally have no meaning. So, wasn’t it natural that the song of the commoners also had no meaning?
One could memorize it without understanding.
