49— 1 “Kami ninga utai be- 
dendam di punggang 
jamban ; 
Ninga utai begagai di 
pala pantai; 
Ninga utai beduru di 
blakang munggu!” 
50— “Baik me kita namu 
lari, uchu— 
Ti bemunyi di pung¬ 
gang titi, nya enda 
Antu Wi, nanggam 
mertang ? 
Ti bedendam di pala 
jamban, nya enda 
Antu Temeran ti ka 
nanggam nanchang?” 
51 — “Oh, enti pia pansut 
me kitai ka ruai; 
Kebu ka pintu beanak 
orang, 
Rambus nunda sedudol 
landak lubang.” 
52—“Kerembai ka t i k a i 
pakan pelintang ; te- 
leng'a ka k 1 asah 
belanggah punggang; 
telenga ka sana tasak 
Raja Nudang.” 
53—“Anjong kandi sarang 
pinang ; 
Anjong tambok dilalin 
kantok demarn penge- 
rang.” 
“We heard a mysterious 
noise at the middle of the 
bridge; 
“We heard something 
chasing something else on 
the top of the bank ; 
“We heard a rushing 
sound behind the hill!” ‘ 
“Well was it, grand¬ 
children, that ye knew 
how to run away— 
“That (mysterious) sound 
at the end of the bridge, 
was it not the Spirit Wi 
who secures and binds? 
“That mysterious sound at 
the bridge-head, was it 
not the Spirit Temeran 
who securely b i n d s 
people"?” 
“Oh, if that is the case, 
let us all go out to the 
reception room ; 
“Fling open the door that 
is ornamented with the 
representation of a hu¬ 
man figure, 
“Let us all go out like 
the quills of the earth¬ 
dwelling porcupine. 
“Spread the woven mats. 
Open the klasah mats 
that shew their plaited 
edges; and open the 
sana mats that were once 
prepared by being soaked 
in hot water by Raja 
Nudang.” 
“Bring the case containing 
the chewing ingredients; 
“Bring the bag decorated 
with the young demam 
fern-shoot pattern.” 
50 —Spirit Wi, the spirit of the rotan. 
Spirit Temeran, the spirit cf the temeran tree.
