“How is my prayer?” said Hiiaka, turning to her companion. The answer was the same as before.

Hiiaka devotes herself to gentle ministrations of healing; but without intermitting the chanting of prayer-songs, the burden of whose petition is that the Spirit of Health shall prevail in Lohiau and restore him completely. After again sprinkling the body with water from the calabash, she breaks forth:

Ia ho’uluulu ia mai au,

E Kane-kapolei[23] imua e-e;

Ia ulu Kini o ke Akua, la;

Ulu mai o Kane, o Kanaloa—

O Hiiaka, kaula mana ia, e-e,

Nana i ho’uluulu i na ma’i—

A a’e, a ulu, a noho i kou kuahu.

Eia ka wai la, he Wai Ola, e-e!
