The second song pictirres the Do-do" '-ho"-ga still standing with 

 eyes intently fixed upon the sun as it slowly rises from behind the 

 eastern horizon. When the sun has fully risen he sees within it, one 

 after the other, his little pipe and all the things that had been con- 

 stantly upon his mind. This vision he takes as an answer to his 

 petitions. 



This song has eight stanzas each with seven lines. The translation 

 of the first and third lines of each stanza will be sufficient for the 

 understanding of the song, as the other lines are repetitions of those 

 given.
