Then Kihanuilulumoku threw out Kahalaomapuana, and she fell upon
Kaeloikamalama's neck.[71]
Kaeloikamalama asked, "Whose child are you?"
Said Kahalaomapuana, "The child of Mokuekelekahiki, of Kaeloikamalama,
of the magicians who guard the taboo house on the borders of
Tahiti."[72]
The two asked, "On what journey, my child, do you come hither?"
Kahalaomapuana answered, "A journey to seek one from the heavens."
Again they asked, "To seek what one from the heavens?"
"Kaonohiokala," replied Kahalaomapuana, "the high taboo one of
Kaeloikamalama and Mokukelekahiki."
Again they asked, "Kaonohiokala found, what is he to do?"
Said Kahalaomapuana, "To be husband to the princess of broad Hawaii, to
Laieikawai, our mistress."
Again they asked, "Who are you?"
She told them, "Kahalaomapuana, the youngest daughter of
Moanalihaikawaokele and Laukieleula."[73]
When Mokukelekahiki and Kaeloikamalama heard she was their own child,
then they released her from Kaeloikamalama's neck and kissed their
daughter.
For Mokukelekahiki and Kaeloikamalama were brothers of Laukieleula,
Aiwohikupua's mother.
Said Kaeloikamalama, "We will show you the road, then you shall ascend.
