Note 82 — PREFACE. (continued 5)

If a person committed a very grave offense, his sacrifice must be brought before the deity, with supplication, thus: “O god, here are edibles, pigs, coconuts, red fish, and also garments. O Kanehekili, O Kanewawahilani, O Kauwilamakaehaikalani,82 watch over your offspring.” In this manner a person’s very serious transgressions were atoned for.
