171—Bepaut di raras kayu 
blengkiang semetak 
guntor, langit, tege- 
pang, 
172— Tangkin menyangin 
mata pedang; 
Japai trabai lantang 
di tegelang. 
173— Tanggong lempaong 
sumpit tapang; 
San tenteran beban- 
ang punggang. 
174— Lalu nyungkah nun- 
da penyangah j e 1 u 
kijang; 
Merjok nunda silo k 
pi an dole tawang. 
175— N van d i kej a ng k a - 
leka lama truba nya-

Nyau d i k e j a n g k a

They pull toward them (as 
they start homewards) 
the branches of the bleng¬ 
kiang tree; the thunder 
crashes and the heavens 
are affrighted. 
They gird on their swords ; 
They grasp their shields 
with the roomy handles. 
They lift up the lempaong 
tapang blow-pipes; 
They shoulder their spear- 
shafts with the banded 
ends. 
They start off a b r u p 11 y 
like the kijang deer with 
its head up ; 
They leap like t a w a n g 
mouse-deer. 
They are leaving behind 
them the site of the house 
where mankind was first 
created ; 
They are leaving behind 
them the old site of the 
house planted up with 
temaga durian trees. 
Swift are they, as a bullet 
from a gun ; 
Speedy are they, as the 
dart from the straight- 
bored blow-pipe. 
They arrive at the main 
road where it branches 
off into seven roads, 
And they are at the 
country of Rajah Magoh. 
‘Here let us ask for some 
chunam from a widow 
the mother of chunam, 
the leavings of Pepayas 
who lives among the 
srang trees.”
