Note 73 — CONTENTS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
It is said that when a person dies his spirit journeys to Kekaa; if he has a friend there who had previously died, that one would drive it away when the spirit is nearing Kekaa. Sometimes the spirit of a person would return and re-enter the body, and cause it to come to life73 again; that is what has happened to those who are living again. Many souls came to this place, Kekaa. It is called the Leina-a-ka-uhane, the leaping place of the soul. Only the spirits of subjects go to Kekaa; the souls of farmers74 and the souls of chiefs go to the volcano when they die. If they have friends there some of them are driven back [whence they re-enter the body] and live again.
