Then Kauilani sent all the people away and stood alone by his wife, uttering his chant or incantation of life for the sick one:

“O Aumakuas! Ghost gods!

Come from the north, the south, the east, the west.

Male and female and children,

Come for this cry of distress.

O all those who have power in the skies!

Come in this time of death.

O all the household of Kapalama!

Come and give life.

I am Kauilani,
