EITE OF VIGIL — FKEE TRANSLATION. 



273 



The words of the third song are, in general, treated in the same 

 manner. Those of the first hne, Hi-a wi tha dse, I go forth; wa-do ha 

 tha, to offer supphcations; and those of the secontl line, Mi wa-da 

 lii°-da, supplications to the sim, make it clear that the song refers to 

 the vigils of the leader of a war party.

The meaning of the fom-th song is suggested by the word ki°-da, 

 to fight. When the leader of a war party has taken the rite of vigil 

 he goes forth with his men and when he finds the enemy a fight takes , 

 place. It is these circumstances to which the song refers.
