Explanation htj the Ku'rahiis 



Later, when the sun is sinking in the west, the land is in shadow, 

 only on the top of the hills toward the east can the spot, the sign of 

 the raja's touch, be seen. Then we sing this stanza as w(> go around 

 the lodge the third t-ime. 



The ray of Father Sun, who breathes forth life, is standing on tlie 

 edge of the hills. We remember that in the morning it had stood on 

 the edge of the opening in the roof of the lodge over the fireplace; now ' 

 it stands on the edge of the hills that, like the walls of a lodge, inclose 

 the land where the people dwell. 



When the third circuit of the lodge is completed we again i)ause at 

 the west.
