who giveth food to the earth; [[150]]
and he cried aloft
—as they (the old people) were informed—
to the Omeyocan,
to the heaven lying above the nine that are bound together.
And—as they learnt—
those having their abode there,
those he called upon, those he worshipped.
(See also chapter on Cosmogony for further mythical material relating to these deities.)
