The spray of the sea flies up, 

 Revealing the side of the bkie rock 

 The wave which places the stone. 

 Then will my wind-form appear, 

 Kukeaoiki, Kukeaonui, 

 Kukeaoloa, Kukeaopoko, 

 Kukeaonuimihamihaikalani,''' 



The heaven is raging, the heaven is furious, 



The heaven is furious because of thee, 



Makaliinuikuakawaiea. 



Your land is routed in the morning, 



Makaliinuikuakawaiea, 



The whole of Kauai has become mine, the whole. 



When Makalii heard this chant by Kamapuaa, he repented within him, because of 

 his coming fate. He was made certain now that this person was none other than Kama- 

 puaa; so he humbly questioned Kamapitaa in a chant, saying: 



Are you then, Haunuu, 

 Haulani, the great shark, 

 Kaalokuloku, a question? 

 Is this your name ? Make answer. 



Kamapuaa then replied: "Yes, it is I, Kama." 



Makalii said to Kamapuaa: "Defeated, there is no way of escape; no place in the 

 uplands, no place in the lowlands, no place toward the east, no place underneath, not even 

 a bunch of grass for me to hide in. I am your captive, Kama." Kama made answer 

 "You will not be killeil if you are able to chant one of the meles in my honor." The rea- 

 son why Kama requested a mele was because he was angry at Makalii on account of the 

 hatighty expression used: "How handsomely you chant my name! If I kill Kaneiki this 

 day, I will save you." 



Makalii replied: "It is when a person is still in his mother's womb that he should 

 know how to chant a mele." Kamapuaa said with some heat: "Can't you think of one?" 



Because of this persistency, Lonoikiaweawealoha (one of Kamapuaa's deities) 

 took compassion on Makalii and taught him one of the chants in honor of Kamapuaa. 

 After learning the mele, Makalii chanted it to Kamapuaa, and at the conclusion Makalii 

 asked: "What of me?" Kamapuaa replied: "You shall not be saved because of this one 

 mele; you must chant another one." Makalii again chanted, giving all the meles of 

 Kamapuaa. at the conclusion of which Makalii was spared by Kamapuaa. By this re- 

 lease of Makalii he requested of Kamapuaa that he be given a piece of land for himself 

 and his people. Kamapuaa then said to him: "You must go to Kahiki and live with 

 Koea." Makalii replied, saying: "No, I will never live there, for I will have to cross so 

 many seas." "Go to Hawaii then and live with Pele." "I will not be able to live with 

 her." "Go to Oahu and live with Kekeleiaiku and Kamaunuaniho." "I will never be 

 able to live there." "Go up to the mountains then and live where the ti. the pala, the man, 

 and hapuu are plentiful." Makalii then replied: "Yes.'' He then proceeded to the 

 mountains and there he made his home and lived with all his people.
