Expla initio II In/ till- Ku' rahiis 



As we approach the lodge of the Son we pause and sing the follow- 

 ing song. It is the same that we sang when we halted on the border of 

 the village at the end of our journey (sixth ritual, part ii). Tlien we 

 were about to enter the village and go to the lodge which the Son had 

 prepared for us. Now we have been four days and nights in that lodge, 

 singing the songs and performing the rites of the ceremony and at 

 the dawn of this the fifth day we oiu-e more seek the lodge where the 

 Son and his family are dwelling, that we may carry these sacred 

 objects to his own fireplace and there touch with them one of his 

 children, that the promises we have l)rought may be fulfilled. So we 

 sinij; the first stanza as we lialt.
