Editorial note — Chapter V · Magic Rites connected with the Several Departments of Nature (continued 2)
Reading edition
‘O Pawang Kisa, Pawang Bĕrima, Si Arjuna, King at Sea,
O Durai, Si Biti is the name of your mother, Si Tanjong (Sir Cape) that of your father!
In your charge are the points of the capes, in your charge all borders of the shore,
In your charge, too, are the river bars!
Your mother’s place is on the seaward pole, your child’s at the shoreward end of the screens,
Your father’s in the tip of the “wings” towards the west.
We be four brothers;
If in truth we be brothers,
Do you lend me your assistance.’
