strike. Go to the left. Go to the right. I east out the ghost, quake. 
The elephant murmurs. The elephant wallows on the opposite side 
of the lake. The pot boils, the pan boils, on the opposite side of the 
point. Go to the left, go to the right, go to the water vessel, ghost 
of grand father,* I let loose the lingers of my hand. 
(11) My grandfather’s to me, mine to my grandfather; my smell, 
smell of water; my smell, smell of leaf; my smell, smell of earth ; my 
smell, smell of grandfather; my smell, smell of mud ; eating pinang 
mixture, I shut grandfather’s nose; hind foot do not raise, hind foot is 
heavy; fore foot do not raise, fore foot is heavy as if there was hung 
a split stone, as if a water jar were hung'; move stone, with it move 
fore feet of grandfather *, move together; move entrails ; receive the 
fingers and hand of grandchild, grandfather. 
(12) Rambong perrango’on batong; the elephant gathers in, the 
elephant wallowing, wallowing on the opposite side of the sea; go to 
the right, go to the left ; I break the hurricane. 
(13) Go to the left, go to the right, ail my enemies, opponents 
and assailants. May your regards be cast aside from me. May 1 
walk alone. 
* The elephant 3 to wit.
