He shall come to this place to count, 

 It is he whom I have chosen for you. 



The words of Song 6 are so disguised that it is scarcely possible to 

 make an intelligible translation. Sho"'-ge-ino°-i° made no reply to 

 the question as to what the song refers to. However, some of the 

 words that are clear indicate that the song is an expression of approval 

 by the two great divisions of the recoimt made by the warrior.
