Denuwara they reached Senkadagala (Kandy), and, dispelling all ills 

 there (53) stood upon the horn-pulling meadow (an-pitiya).

A meadow they decorated for pulling the horns, 

 And pulled horns for seven days, 

 Then sprinkled (the country) with Perahera pen* 

 By these means dispelling diseases. 



Thus were all evils driven to the great ocean (55).

Duly the horns are measured and tied ; 

 Daubing (their bodies) with lines of sandal wood unguent, 

 And putting tella and tana ornaments round their necks, 

 They marched through the village driving away diseases. 



57 



Ah ! delightful horn-pulling sport, fraught with blessing, 

 It is meet to pull horns guilelessly; 

 Goddess Sat-Pattini banished all ill ; 

 Henceforth will no sickness rage in the village.
