As for us—that part of the 
open verandah that is j ust 
below the e a v e s—y o u 
cannot blame us, Oh 
Grand-mother Endu, thou 
that showest prolonged 
indications o f satiety 
after meals—when you 
recall to mind those who 
died ; we are only aware 
that you betitled us the 
woman that takes pains 
and quickly finishes the 
woven cloth with its 
fringe of thread. 
As for us—the middle part 
of the open verandah- - 
you cannot blame us Oh 
G rand - mo the r Bujang 
Bungah, when you recall 
to mind those who fell: 
we are only aware that 
you betitled us the place 
where the pole of slang- 
king kijang wood is set 
up for the Feast. 
As for us—the upper part 
of the open verandah— 
thou canst not blame us, 
Oh thou that callest with 
a loud voice, when thou 
dost recall to mind those 
who are lost; we are only 
aware that thou betitled 
us the one who spreads 
the mats that have the 
woof crossing the warp. 
As for us—the extremity 
of the open verandah— 
you cannot blame us, Oh 
Grand-mother Jelu Ren¬ 
gayong with the sweetest 
of voices, when you recall 
to mind those who were 
cut off long long ago; 
we are only aware that 
you betitled us, the one 
who makes offerings to 
the winged birds.
