Note 1 — Chapter XII · In Tewara and Sanaroa—Mythology of the Kula

Reading edition

This is the verbatim account of the story as it was told to me by To’uluwa himself, the chief of Omarakana, who at present ‘owns’ this Gumagabu dance, his ancestors having acquired it from the descendants of Tomakam by a laga payment.1 It is a commentary to the song, and begins only with the avenging expedition of Tomakam, which is also the theme of the song.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
