To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The blood and f at^ which are in every part of his body, are the life of man. The heart distributes these into every part of the body, and is the seat of the spirit. If the blood and fat were consumed, the heart would be closed up, and the spirit would depart. This is the death of man.
But there are other phases of death in man. Instant death is caused by the sudden shutting of the doors of the heart.
The eyes and ears of man govern the muscles and head.
If the eyes sleep, the ears are closed a...lso ; but if the ears hear a voice or sound, the eyes open. They are thus the guardians of the body, and see or hear things nigh or dis- tant by which the' body may be injured. The tongue decides what should be taken into the body as food, and protects life through the stomach.
Now, when Tane had made a female form he chanted an incantation, and he .put his procreating power to Hine- pupuke-maunga (daughter of the producing mountain), and produced Taniwha (god-like feared being) ; then he put it to Hine-rau-kiokio (daughter of the leaf in the shade), and produced Koni (sacred red) ; then he put it to Tu-pari- maunga (standing on the cliff of the mountain), and pro- duced Tc-pu-toto (source or blood, or life, or soul) and Para-wlieniia-mea.
