... In the beginning were Rangi and Papa, Sky and Earth. Darkness existed. Rangi adhered over Papa his wife. Man was not. A person arose, a spirit who had no origin; his name was Rangitokona, the Heaven-propper. He went to Rangi and Papa, bid them go apart, but they would not. Therefore Rangitokona separated Rangi and Papa, he thrust the sky above. He thrust him with his pillars ten in number end to end; they reached up to the Fixed-place-of-the-Heavens.

After this separation Rangi lamented for his wife: and his tears are the dew and the rain which ever fall on her. This was the chant that did the work:

Rangitokona, prop up the heaven! // Rangitokona, prop up the morning! // The pillar stands in the empty space.

The thought [memea] stands in the earth-world - // Thought stands also in the sky.

The kahi stands in the earth-world - // Kahi stands also in the sky.

The pillar stands, the pillar - // It ever stands, the pillar of the sky.

Then for the first time was there light between the Sky and the Earth; the world existed ...

In early June Sun reached the Auriga constellation on the northwestern bank of the Milky Way and the time of the 'Winter Goat' was in the past. He must be driven away:

Although north of the equator this was only in mythical time - because precession had moved Auriga ahead in the year from early March to early June - the seasons in central Polynesia were in harmony with Auriga as a Sign of the beginning of a new 'front side':

The Auriga constellation depicts a man sitting down (because legs characterize the 2nd half of the year) with an old goat climbing on his back (meaning the 5 months of the 'old goat' are in the past):

The pair Cb2-24--25 coincided with (ι, Hassaleh), Almaaz (ε), and Haedus I (ζ), the right foot respectively the pair of goat kids. The old goat is the brilliant Capella ('Goat').

The constellation is rising up from the Milky River, with young kids and old goat still inside its 'water':

Hassaleh (73.6)	Almaaz (74.7), Haedus I (74.8)

Possibly the strange backs of the figures who are sitting down refer to the standard representation of the constellation which is enhancing the back side of the Charioteer.
