On the seer's circuit, according to the command of the Beloved, he did
not encounter a single person, for all had gone up to Pihanakalani, the
place where it had been predicted that victory should be accomplished.
After ten days the seer returned to Honopuwaiakua; lo! it was deserted.
Then Kaonohiokala met him, and the seer told him about the circuit he
had made at the Beloved's command.
Then the prophet was taken up also to dwell in the moon.
And in the morning of the next day, at sunrise, when the hot rays of the
sun rose over the mountains,
Then the Beloved began to punish Aiwohikupua and Waka. To Waka he meted
out death, and Aiwohikupua was punished by being deprived of all his
wealth, to wander like a vagrant over the earth until the end of his
days.
At the request of Laieikawai to spare Laielohelohe and her husband, the
danger passed them by, and they became rulers over the land thereafter.
Now in the early morning of the day of Aiwohikupua's and Waka's
downfall, lo! the multitude assembled at Pihanakalani saw a rainbow let
down from the moon to earth, trembling in the hot rays of the sun.
