People of neighboring town are troubled by the komau, an evil spirit, who always causes the death of as many people as the hunters have secured deer. Sayen kills the komau. He fights with the great spirit Kaboniyan. Neither is able to overcome the other, so they become friends. They fight together against their enemies. Sayen often changes himself into a fish or chicken, and hides after a fight.
The betel-nut and leaf are placed on the animal, then the medium dips her fingers in the oil, and strokes its side while she recites the following diam: "The spirit who lives in Dadaya lies in bed; he looks at his igam, and they are dull. He looks again, 'Why are my igam dull? Kaboniyan looked down on them.
After the meal has been eaten, the family gathers up the skirt and dishes, to return them to the village, but the other offerings remain. Rain, like all other things needed, is sent by Kadaklan or Kaboniyan. If it does not come as desired, or if the crop is not progressing favorably, a ceremony known as Komon or Ubaiya is held.
Many people were killed by this strong pair, and why they themselves could never be captured was a great mystery. For it was not known that one was the spirit Kaboniyan, and the other the son of an Alan. If he was surrounded in a river, Sayen would become a fish and hide so that people could not find him.
She said she had been in the bana-ási tree where Kaboniyan had put her, and they were surprised for they did not know when Kaboniyan had taken her from them. After that they used magic and the house where Aponibolinayen had lived went to Kadalayapan. This is all. There was a man named Wadagan, and his wife was Dolimáman.
We told you not to go against her before, because the people of her town are related to Kaboniyan. We do not know what magic they may use," they said. "Now, what can we do, we are lost." After that they began to fight. "Ala, you my spears and headaxes kill the people from the left and the right sides, from in back and in front," said Aponibolinayen and Aponigawani.
After that when there is the person they go to cure who is sick, they always prepare correctly because it was Kaboniyan who told them to do always like that. When some one is ill whom they go to cure, they prepare correctly. The spirit who lives in Dadaya lies in bed; he looks at his igam and they are dull. He looks again, "Why are my igam dull?
