"Tulisan ini berfokus pada tarombo dan martarombo yang bertindak sebagai strategi adaptasi budaya bagi orang Batak Toba di Jakarta untuk mempertahankan nilai budaya dan sistem kekerabatan mereka, meskipun berada jauh dari bona ni pasogit. Tarombo dimaknai sebagai simbol pembawa makna yang berguna sebagai aturan main dalam menemukan posisi diri pada silsilah keturunan Batak Toba. Gagasan nilai tarombo kemudian diejawentahkan oleh para perantau Batak Toba di Jakarta melalui interaksi dalam praktik keseharian yang disebut dengan martarombo. Dalam praktiknya, terdapat pemaknaan yang berbeda-beda terhadap tarombo sehingga negosiasi makna antar beberapa generasi tidak dapat dihindari. Oleh karenanya, makna yang mereka pegang menjadi penting untuk mengetahui strategi adaptasi dari kompleksitas budaya Batak Toba yang mereka pertahankan ketika berada di Jakarta. Tulisan ini memanfaatkan pendekatan etnografi untuk menemukan makna mengenai tarombo dan martarombo secara lebih detail dan mendalam.

"This paper examines the ways in which God the Creator, the High God, is described in Toba Batak folk-tales. The sources for this investigation are stories recorded in pre-colonial (around 1850), colonial and post-colonial times (up to 2014). In different stories the High God can appear under various names, forms and gender, and resides in various places never inhabited by humans. Unlike a Deus otiosus, the Toba Batak High God is not "inactive" after creation,but continues to be involved in the life of mankind through local or supra-local manifestations. Although he rules the realm of death, he is nevertheless regarded as the source of life, fertility, health and prosperity. There are also stories about manifestations of God in which he shares the experience of suffering with human beings. The main Toba Batak community rituals in pre-colonial times were addressed to a manifestation of the High God."
