(Väimöinen journeys to the place of the dead to find his lost spells.)

He set out to fetch words from Tuoni

(Words of) power from Manala;

Going he stepped firmly,

Went a week through forests of young trees,

A second week through bird cherries, 155

A third week through junipers:

Already appeared the island of Manala,

The hill of Tuoni loomed.
