The srimpi sangopati dance by Pakubuwono IX is actually a dance by Pakubuwono IV who ruled the Surakarta Hadiningrat Palace in 1788-1820 under the name Srimpi sangopati the word sangapati itself comes from the word "the apathy" a designation for the future king candidate. This dance symbolizes the provision for death (from the meaning of Sangopati) intended for the Dutch.
