Now, then! Ha, now it is the Sun who has caused it. That
is the one who has caused Heat to come down. And she has made it
(appear) as if it actually were a simulated disease.
Now then! Ha, now thou hast come to listen, thou Blue Man, in
the direction of the Cold Land thou art staying. Quicldy thou hast
arisen, facing this way. It is the Sun who has caused it. She
caused Heat to come down, but made it (appear) as if it actually were
a simulated disease.
Now thou hast come to cool it off. As tlie fog, when it arises, so
does it arise, not for one night (only, but forever). Rehef has been
caused. Sharply!
explanation
This is a formula for the cure of watery bUsters which break
out on the body in summer, and are caused, according to the medicine
man, by the heat of the sun.
