Fallen is the Chief. 



403 



O thou chief! spread abroad, increase the 

 people : 



Assemble the people for Puna, for Kukii, 

 600. These are all Kamehameha's people. 



The kapu of Lono is at an end. 



The chief is engaged in religious thoughts 

 and deeds, 



At Wahaula [temple] is his engagement, 



There indeed will end the passing year ; 

 605. The chief will begin a new year in Puna. 



Hoolaha kanaka e ka lani :

Canto XIII. 



In years the chief united the districts. 



Stood and defended the reports of the land 



[Which,] rising north, swept south in his 

 island. 



[He] established the sacred temple of Lono 

 610. And published relief for the distressed, 



Removing the defilement of his land, 



Thus obliterating the distress of his land. 



The time of restless wandering is past, . 



The fears are displaced by universal peace ; 

 615. Purifying the land, the living is in comfort. 



Tranquility pervades the masses. 



Silence prevails. 



The chief changes ; what is the chief 

 doing ? 



What indeed is the chief doing in front?
