350 The other Water-cress spring, 



Dripping spring, 



Bending grass, 



Aslies spring. 



Cat tail spring, 

 355 Rainbow spring, 



Ca'Ialco place. 



Snow hanging, 



Rock wedge. 



Painted rock, 

 360 Poison weed spring, 



Mesa wall spring, 



Toloknana, 



EvU smelling water. 



Sack of flour hanging, 

 365 Bluebird place. 



Where ants go in. 



White rocks sitting, 



Where the masked dancers come 

 out. 



Sulphur spring, otherwise called 

 hepatina, 



(At all these places), 

 370 We passed our fathers on their 

 roads. 



Wherever their rain-filled door- 

 ways open outward, 



Where their roads come out, 



Four times we gave them prayer 

 meal. 



Yonder toward all directions we 

 looked. 



Hither, toward Halona Itiwana, 



Our daylight fathers' fourfold road 



380 And now, at last, it seems. 



Here we shall take our road, 



Thus we said to one another. 



Along the middle road four times 

 sprinkling prayer meal before us 



Hither we took our way. 

 385 Our daylight fathers' 



Our daylight mothers' watery 

 roads coming out. 



We saw. 



Sprinkling prayer meal 



Where come forth the watery roads 



Of our daylight fathers, 



We sat down in the doorway, '= 



Four times rising 



We came in.

" The mask, borne aloft on a pole, with embroidered blankets held out by hoops concealing the bearer, 

 is set down outside, while the two impersonators bless the house. When they are finished the mask is 

 brought in and set down beside the altar while the prayer is chanted.
