Explanation hi/ tlie Kit' rahus 



Once more, for the fourth time, we go around the lodge singing this 

 stanza four times. 



As we sing, the visions ascend to their dwelling place; they have 

 returned whence they came, to their abode in the sky. 



When we reach the west we lay the Hako down with the songs and 

 movements which accompany the act." Kawas rests in her nest. 



One by one the Children go to their homes, and the dreams brought 

 by the visions which attend the Hako go with them to make their 

 hearts glad.
