And when they had come to the side of K‘yäk´lu, instant they became
grave, for he bade them hearken to the words of the gods, and their
instructions.
"Ye shall attend me, for know that ye are to be the guardians of the
Kâ´kâ and tellers of its meanings, and givers of enjoyment to the
children of men, even as ye gave the enjoyment of comfort unto me, when
ye sought me in the plain of my sorrows. Ye shall bear me to the people
yonder, for I have tidings for them, and instructions the to which ye
shall bear witness in aftertimes when I am not by. Ye shall cherish the
Kâ´kâ; yea, and all other precious customs, for thereunto as unto life
mortal, yet unceasing, became fitted thy father, my brother younger;
and thereunto were ye born, ye and thy sister elder, man-woman of the
Kâ´kâ, as unto the councils thereof am I become slave yet master.
But my sister, thy mother, shall abide by the place she hath made,
maintaining it, as woman ever maintaineth the hearth she hath made, all
the days of men."
