PRAYERS AND CHANTS 



761 



166 His rain filled woodpile, 

 He sprinkled with meal. 



After him, 

 170 I sprinkled my prayer meal on it. 



This night 



The thoughts of aU my fathers, 



Whatever they wished 



When they appointed me with 

 their precious plume wand, 



I have fulfilled. 



The breath of my father, 



Sayataca, bow priest, 

 180 His life-giving breath 



His breath of old age 



His breath of waters. 



His breath of fecundity, 



His breath of seeds, 

 185 His breath of riches. 



His breath of power, 



His breath of strong spirit. 



His breath of all good fortune 

 whatsoever, — 



Asking for his breath, 

 190 And into my body 



Drawing his breath. 



I add to your breath now. 



And furthermore, the yello\\- cloth- 

 ing bundle of the priest of the 

 north, 



The blue clothing bundle of the 

 priest of the west, 

 195 The red clothing bundle of the 

 priest of the south. 



The white clothing bundle of the 

 priest of the east, 



The many colored clothing bundle 

 of the priest of the above. 



The dark colored clothing bundle 

 of the priest of the below. 



All kinds of good fortune whatso- 

 ever, — 

 200 Asking for the breath of these. 



And into my warm body 



Inhaling their breath, 



I add to your breath. 



To this end, my chUdren: 

 205 May you be blessed with lighi; 



May your roads be fulfilled; 



May you grow old; 



Yonder to where the road of your 

 sun father comes out,
