This is an invitation addressed to the wild carabaos of the Sakapa and Okiki Mountains to come in closer to Bontoc. They are also asked to note that a fire-feast is made in their honor. The old men say that probably 500 wild carabaos have been killed by the men of the pueblo.
The men go to the great rock, which is said to be a transformed anito, and there they build a fire, eat a meal, and have the ceremony called "mang-a-pu'-i si ay-ya-wan'," freely, "fire-feast for wild carabaos." The ceremony is as follows: Ay-ya-wan ad Sa-ka'-pa a-li-ka is-na ma-am'-mung is-na. Ay-ya-wan ad O-ki-ki a-li-ka is-na ma-am'-mung is-na. Fay-cha'-mi ya'-i nan a-pu'-i ya pa'-tay.
