If any man touch my spirits, whom I have brought from my home in the sun in a fiery ship, before I bid him to-morrow, overturn his canoe, and drown him in lagoon or spring or ocean.

If any woman go near them without Tu-Kila-Kila's leave, bind her hand and foot with ropes of porpoise hide, and cast her out into the surf, and dash her with your waves, and pummel her to pieces." The King of Water bent his head a second time.

"I am a great god," he answered, "before all others save you: but for you, Tu-Kila-Kila, I haste to do your bidding.

If any man disobey you, my billows shall rise and overwhelm him in the sea.

I am a great god.
