The girl did so and used her best efforts to climb the mountain wall. The day was far spent and darkness would soon come on. Thereupon Hiiaka invoked the Sun, bidding it stand still at the mouth of the river Hea:

E Kini, e hiki i Kauai, i kou aina;

O koa maka-iwa[11] o Halawa,[12]

Paia Kona i ou kino,

Akua nui o Hiiaka, la.

Hiki e, pi’i e, iho e!

E kau i ka muli o Hea;[13]

Kau malie oe, e ka La!

Come to your land to Kauai, ye hosts!
