A traditional Khmer song to Mchas Teuk, Mchas Dei
We always show respect to all of the spirits, because all of them look after and take care of us. And whenever misfortune, danger, or any calamity is about to befall the house owner, the spirits will warn them through dreams beforehand. Within Buddhism itself, the Lord Buddha did not reject the practice of honouring these spirits either — such as the matter of making offerings to request permission from the master of water, master of land, which people call Tevata Pali — whenever there is some undertaking or ceremony to be performed, one should remember to inform all of the spirits as well, because this group of spirits is one that is said to possess divine sight and divine insight, able to know things that we human beings cannot know.
