In the path the owner of the field builds a tiny fire beside which he stands while the harvesters sit in silence. The owner says: "So-mi-ka-ka' pa-ku' ta-mo i-sa'-mi sik'-a kin-po-num' nan a-lang'," which, freely rendered, means, "Palay, when we carry you to the granary, increase greatly so that you will fill it."

Now Ta-mo, this Bodhidharma, breathed on it; and it glowed, and flame shot up from it, and grew, and foamed up beautiful, till it was a steady fountain of wonder-fire spraying the far stars.
