as Jaba.
They(Sudra/Jaba) are not involved in aristocratic society. They are said to be outside the palaces. In the fields. They didn't even own the land back then, all land belonged to the King & was worked by Jaba/Sudra. Similar to medieval Europe with surfs & that. Jaba in Balinese means outside.
Like your house is the Puri
The patio is Jaba
By the way, Bule caste is number 1, don't let them tell you otherwise ; )
