The noble rulers of the island were less interested in administering the lives of the Balinese than in dramatizing their rank and hence political superiority through large public rituals and ceremonies.
Bangsawan penguasa pulau tersebut kurang tertarik untuk mengelola kehidupan rakyat Bali daripada mendramatisasi pangkat mereka dan karenanya mereka memiliki superioritas politik melalui ritual dan upacara besar di masyarakat.
