Now, then! Thou art a boy, no doubt. 



Yonder in the Night Land, Fhnt hast arisen this instant. 



He is behaving frightfully as he is coming hither; his paths lie 

 stretched hither; he is coming hither, (behaving) frightfully. 



Come out at once, thou boy! Let us run quickly to over yonder 

 (out of reach of FUnt). Let us pass (to the direction) of the Sun 

 Land, sharply! 



Now, then! Thou art a girl then, no doubt. (From) yonder in the 

 Night Land Flint (is coming) this instant. He frightens (everybody) 

 as he is coming hither. He raises his red walking sticks threateningly. 

 Come out this instant, thou girl. Let us quickly run to over yonder. 

 Let us pass (to the direction) of the Sun Land, ha! sharply! 



Now, then! Ha, now thou hast come to Usten, thou White Man 

 from the Sun Land, thou powerful wizard. He is of such-and-such 

 a clan. The little human being is thine, be sure of it. Now thou hast 

 come to get him; he has failed to (come out) by himself. Carry him 

 to the Sun Land, and do not withdraw thy hand from him. Thou 

 hast come to put him on his feet, his soul will ascend (to happiness 

 and prosperity) as he walks along the path (of life). He will place 

 his feet on white cloth as he walks along. His soul has ascended to 

 the supreme seventh upper world . Sharply !

 scription and the ceremony are the same, and but Uttle additional 

 explanation is required.
