When viewed in terms of language, "sedulur papat limo pancer" means four brothers and becomes 5 as the center. From the term, the concept of Java is a term that is so extraordinary and indicates that we have a brother that God has created.
Four brothers, are considered as a symbol of protection by protecting ourselves from the four corners of the wind direction. So one in the north, one in the south, one in the west, one in the east so that with four figures you can be your protector from various dangers.
