te po he ngaroa te ahanga e hua tava.he u(-) Hua Tava heard him saying 'Ah' and asked him from the other end of the house, 'What is it that amazes you so?'

Hau Maka replied, 'That which amazes me is a dream'.

Then Hua Tava said, 'How well you must have fared in this dream, oh companion! Tell me about your dream.'

Hau Maka told about his dream: 'I was sleeping, and this is what happened: My dream soul moved on, and, through the power of her mana, my dream soul reached seven [ehitu] lands, which were lying in the midst of a dim twilight.

My dream soul looked around searchingly, but these lands were not very good at all.

In the midst of dim twilight there is Te Pei, the residence.

Not even eight [evaru] groups of people (i.e., countless boat crews) can find the small piece (of land?) again once it has been lost.

Te Pei and the following Te Pou sound as if they belong together. On Easter Island Te Pou was a name for Sirius, which we know had been placed as a marker for the last day of June. Counting 181 (June 30) - 29 could therefore result in the day position of Te Pei, i.e. to June 1 (152 = 8 * 19).

Since the time when Bharani had risen together with the Sun at 0h the fixed stars would have (apparently) moved ahead with about 41 right ascension days - excepting Sirius who always stood firm like a pillar (pou) in a Sun calendar.

... The Sothic cycle was based on what is referred to in technical jargon as 'the periodic return of the heliacal rising of Sirius', which is the first appearance of this star after a seasonal absence, rising at dawn just ahead of the sun in the eastern portion of the sky. In the case of Sirius the interval between one such rising and the next amounts to exactly 365.25 days - a mathematically harmonious figure, uncomplicated by further decimal points, which is just twelve minutes longer than the duration of the solar year ...

June 1 (152) + 41 = 193 ("June 1):

... The jaguar learned from the grasshopper that the toad and the rabbit had stolen its fire while it was out hunting, and that they had taken it across the river. While the jaguar was weeping at this, an anteater came along, and the jaguar suggested that they should have an excretory competition. The anteater, however, appropriated the excrement containing raw meat and made the jaguar believe that its own excretions consisted entirely of ants. In order to even things out, the jaguar invited the anteater to a juggling contest, using their eyes removed from the sockets: the anteater's eyes fell back into place, but the jaguar's remained hanging at the top of a tree, and so it became blind. At the request of the anteater, the macuco bird made the jaguar new eyes out of water, and these allowed it to see in the dark. Since that time the jaguar only goes out at night. Having lost fire, it eats meat raw. It never attacks the macuco ...
