Translation. 
Now, at break of day, we have to go 
To offer Divine worship, taking with us the Scripture of 
the Buddhists. 
The music of the three villages will escort us. 
Then going up and ever up we arrived at Sharting,! 
And lodged for a night on the level land called TAbé.? 
Then proceeding again up and ever up, we reached the 
peak called Yangkhuk, 
Thence we hallooed down to say :— 
‘*O you nuns of Kénam, may you live in peace”? ; 
Among all the nuns there, 
Is a sister of ours! 
Then going up again, we reached the peak of Rinang, 
hence we see our native land 
In the meadows of Tanam.* 
There is our home, and there our family god deity called 
arshi, 
And Loktas Negi’s family deity is called Téssihombal or 
Tassihombar.*
