They slept through this night, and in the morning, the day of Kulu, no canoe was to appear this day. Today pigs were killed for the king, and at night there was great praying, which was called kaihaanalu. Oe was another prayer performed this night. In the morning they went to the temple where they performed all temple work all through the day. They undressed the new year deities, ceased their temple work, the priest going on the outside of the temple to release the restrictions of the anniversary. This prayer was called kuikuipapa. They being all free this day of Laau52 (the years grew as forests), the canoes were then free to come in. At the close of this ceremony by the priest the king went to his place. Five days afterwards the king returned to restrict the temple. This service was called kaloakamakamaka. When he arrived at the temple, together with the high priest and many of his people, in the evening they were under restriction, the day being Ole-kukahi. And the people were arranged in rows. The priest stood up, then sat down and prayed.
