Christology in Javanese mind [part III]

So, we have come to the end of the series of Christology in Javanese mind. Here is the third stanza of Ilir-ilir.

Dodotira, dodotira, kumitir bedhah ing pinggir, [the garment, your royal garment is tore in the side]
dondomana, jlumatana, kanggo seba mengko sore. [Knit and mend it as preparation to face your (king) this evening]
Mumpung gedhe rembulane, mumpung jembar kalangane, Ya surak-a surak yo.. [Since it is while in the Light of Bright Moon, still broad is its hello, [joyfully] keep the diligence with you].

(Stanza 3, line 1)

Dodotira, dodotira, kumitir bedhah ing pinggir, [the garment, your royal garment is tore in the side]
It is said that dodotira, your royal garment is tore in the side. And this can be associated with the fallen nature of mankind. Which once created in the very image of his Creator but because of sin become corrupted.

(Stanza 3, line 2)

dondomana, jlumatana, kanggo seba mengko sore. [Knit and mend it as preparation to face your (king) this evening]. This is our life in His grace, we should live in constant repentance, vigilance, humility, chastity and self-control; it is "that divine grace, which always heals that which is infirm and completes that which is lacking. " (Archpriest Theodoros of Antiochian Archdiocese of North America). And it reminds me to what once said by St. John of Kronstadt, that this life is the preparation for eternity, kanggo seba mengko sore. This is an invitation from the king, that is the King himself come, visit and call us into His House. The word"sore" which means evening (and even afternoon), means it will be very quick. If I relate this to St. Nektarios' book, I am reminded of the radiance of the Christian faith discussed there. With joy in the given time through out the history, the Virtuous Christian love their beloved Master as Mumpung gedhe rembulane, mumpung jembar kalangane, Ya surak-a surak yo.. [Since it is while in the Light of Bright Moon, still broad is its hello, [joyfully] keep the diligence with you].
