Note 88 — CONTENTS (continued 4)

At the conclusion of the chant by Kahikihonuakele, he approached Kamapuaa and laid in his presence.88 Kamapuaa then stood up and stepped on them all and proceeded on his way, for he was very angry with them all. At this Hina began to chant all the meles composed in honor of Kamapuaa, trying to please him and in that way save themselves; but all her meles and pleadings were in vain, for Kamapuaa would not listen. When Hina saw that all her efforts to appease the anger of Kamapuaa were in vain, she disrobed and went naked,89 following him. When Kamapuaa saw Hina following after him, entirely nude, he turned and abandoned his angry feelings, and said: “Your fisherman shall die, however, because of the words he spoke to me, that I must dive down into the sea to get my fish.” To this request Hina gave her consent. The hog then started in and in a very short time the fisherman was completely consumed.90 Kamapuaa then said to his parents: “Why did you two not recognize me?” The parents replied: “Because we knew that you had the form of a hog and did not have the form of a human being.” At this Kamapuaa showed them all his different forms; and after this he returned to Kahiki with Koea.
