Badi—Invocation.

O Badi I know whence thou comest
Thou comest from Chaga
Get thee from hence
Get thee to the place whence thou comest
Che' Lanang the herdsman
Remember the elder of the magic nibong
Come hither and make atonement for our dogs
Shouldst thou wish to slay my dogs
Slay them, yes, one every day.
