Explanation hy tht Ku'rahus 



When the spot, the sign of the ray, the messenger of our father tlie 

 Sun, has left the tops of tlie hills and i^assed from our sight, we sing 

 this verse as we make the fourth circuit of the lodge. 



We know that the ray which was sent to bring us strength has now 

 gone back to the place whence it came. We are thankful to our father 

 the Sun for that which he has sent us by his ray. 



At the west we lay the Hako down to rest and sing the songs which 

 belong to that action."
