Summary
In English
Nawa Dewata Stuti is a series of mantras worshiping the Dewata Nawa Sangga commonly spoken by the dwijati pandita in Bali. These spells are contained in a sixteenth-century papyrus known as the Stuti Nawa Dewata. This ejection was not widely disseminated but was only passed on among the priests.
In this collection of mantras, there is worship of the Gods of Nawa Sangga, the nine gods who reside in various temples in Bali and guard the direction of the wind. Hinduism in Bali in the Middle Ages strongly emphasized the worship of Tri Murti, namely Brahma as the creator, Vishnu as the preserver and Shiva as the fuser. The Tri Murti concept was later adopted into the Gods of Nawa Sanga. Because Hinduism in Bali adheres to the concept of Shiva, the Gods of Nawa Sanga in Bali are also influenced by the concept of Shiva.

In Indonesian
Nawa Dewata Stuti adalah rangkaian mantra pemujaan terhadap Dewata Nawa Sangga yang biasa diucapkan oleh para pandita dwijati di Bali. Mantra-mantra ini termuat dalam sebuah lontar dari abad keenam belas yang dikenal sebagai Nawa Dewata Stuti. Lontar ini tidak disebarluaskan secara umum melainkan hanya diturunkan di kalangan pendeta saja.
Dalam kumpulan mantra ini, terdapat pemujaan kepada Dewata Nawa Sangga, yakni Sembilan dewata yang berstana di berbagai pura di Bali dan menjaga arah mata angin. Agama Hindu di Bali pada abad pertengahan sangat menekankan pemujaan kepada Tri Murti, yakni Brahma sebagai pencipta, Wisnu sebagai pemelihara dan Siwa sebagai pelebur. Konsep Tri Murti ini kemudian diadopsi ke dalam Dewata Nawa Sanga. Karena Hindu di Bali menganut konsep Siwa, maka Dewata Nawa Sanga di Bali juga dipengaruhi konsep Siwaisme.
