Chanting mantra while forging
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			Hello, 
 
The "old man" is a Empu Totok and he is chating mantra's while forging to enclose the spirit of the mantra into the iron while closing the iron (folding and forging). So the spirit of the mantra is kept in the iron (in the Keris). 
 
Best regards,
