Pandeling are used legally as well as economically to refer the activities that provided some guarantee of someone to another as a duty to get something. This transaction was one of economic interactions that based on social ties and traditions. Pandeling is a trade commodity in business and monetary transaction among the traders and capital investors. Pandeling came into the system without prediction to be transferred and even had to separate from his family, if the new owner came from far away. According the formal regulation on this transaction, pandeling had to subordinate except he could pay off his debt with all rents.
