“The special power of the Gathu [i.e. gardeners] primarily derives from the divine sound they produce by the grace of Nāsadyaḥ, the god of music and dance. The Gathu are the only ones who by their music can set into motion the procession image of the reluctant god Pacalī Bhairava…”
(van den Hoek 2004, 84)
