In English
In north Bali, Pagerwesi is a very special and busy holiday. Preparing for this holiday is almost equal to how people in south Bali prepare for Galungan day. On Pagerwesi day, the Hindus everywhere in Bali worship the Lord as the ultimate perceptor of the universe. The procession is similar to Galungan,—people come temples to pray, there are many fruits and cakes, and houses adorned with laughter and happiness of the homecoming relatives. The special thing is that Pagerwesi means to protect oneself from darkness of mind. Knowledge one accepts should be dedicated to rightheousness.
In Balinese
Ring Denbukit, Pagerwesi dados rahina sane banget pininget tur rame. Panyanggran rahina Pagerwesi ring Denbukit kirang langkung pateh ramene saking Galungan ring Bali kelod. Ring rahina Pagerwesi, krama Hindune mamuja Ida Hyang Widhi Wasa makadi Parama Guru, guruning jagat. Dudonan pangubhaktine kirang langkung pateh sakadi Galungan, kramane rauh tangkil ring pura, maaturan, wenten makudang-kudang woh-wohan lan sanganan, turmaning akeh jerone rame saantukan prati santanane rauh budal makasami. Cutetne, Pagerwesi mateges ngeraksa dewek ring peteng ning manah. Ajah-ajahan sane sampun katerima sapatutnyane kaanggen ngelaksanayang dharma.
In Indonesian
Di Bali utara, Pagerwesi adalah hari raya yang sangat spesial dan ramai. Persiapan untuk Pagerwesi di Bali utara nyaris sama sibuknya dengan Galungan di Bali bagian selatan. Pada hari raya ini, umat Hindu memuja Tuhan sebagai Parama Guru, atau guru alam semesta. Prosesinya hampir sama dengan perayaan Galungan,—orang-orang datang ke pura untuk bersembahyang, ada banyak buah dan kue, serta rumah yang ramai oleh sanak keluarga yang pulang kampung. Intinya, Pagerwesi memiliki makna melindungi diri dari kegelapan pikiran. Pengetahuan yang diterima seseorang hendaknya dipakai demi pengabdian kepada kebajikan.
