Maydosadan

Maydosadan is one of the ceremonies which is held to cure pains in the chest. The mambunong holds a chicken which is to be sacrificed, while he relates the following:

Bangan un Kabigat ūnda manorian. Inagton Bangan tagbana, yan inaligīda Kabigat din pataklangna. Dintangda san dorian ay sin poon; anayan kaotanda ut mapno san tagban Bangan, ya mapno san pataklang Kabigat sin bugas di dorian.

Angayan idondon Bangan si Kabigat ut inmangaya. Itotukdūūn pay sīna ay Bangan. Amui pay si Kabigat ya binutbutna san kayi ay dakdakui yan tinmudtud san dada. Angayan kaapap si Kabigat isan pagūna yan tamokdo.

Ingayan sūmaa ut asīna kanan, “Kaasīta pay sīna adī pay nanatui sīna tan samo waday kayi ay mandada.” On gayutkan kinwanin Bangan, “Kambau! sīan ay poon di atud di maydosadan.” Ut magay pagnan ipaytok sinan kay ipūgau.

Bangan and Kabigat went to get dorian.[3] Bangan carried on the head in the carrying basket, and Kabigat carried on the back in the carrying frame. They found the dorian and then dug it up, and Bangan filled the carrying basket and Kabigat filled the carrying frame with the root of the dorian.

Then Bangan sent Kabigat to get wood. Kabigat then went and picked up a large piece of wood dripping with blood. Then at once Kabigat put his hand on his chest and sat down.

Then he went home immediately and said, “Pity us because there has been death here, since the wood was bleeding.” Then Bangan said, “Oh! This is the origin of the remedy for maydosadan.” So it was handed down to the people.

After the chicken has been killed and cooked, the story is repeated.
