Changes: Duranja

Latest revision as of 18:04, 14 July 2021

A duranja was a large ornate Bajoran prayer oil lamp. It was also called a "lamp for the dead" and was used, as the name implies, to pray for the deceased.

In the year 2371 Kira Nerys kept a duranja in her quarters to pray for Vedek Bareil Antos, who had died earlier that year. (DS9: "Shakaar")

Major Kira spoke the following prayer while kneeling in front of the duranja:

"raka-ja ut shala morala... ema bo roo kana... uranak... ralanon Bareil... propeh va nara ehsuk shala-kan vunek ..."

The script provided a translation for Kira's prayer: "do not let him walk alone... guide him on his journey... protect... the one named Bareil... take him into the gates of heaven..."
