And when he spoke of that unknown part on the borders of Guayana, on the side of the Cordilleras, he named the mountains of Riolama, and in that way I first found out where my people are.

I then left him on Ytaioa, he refusing to follow me, and ran to grandfather and taxed him with his falsehoods; and he, finding I knew all, escaped from me into the woods, where I have now found him once more, talking with the stranger.

And now, O mother, seeing himself caught and unable to escape a second time, he has taken up a knife to kill himself, so as not to take me to Riolama; and he is only waiting until I finish speaking to you, for I wish him to know what will happen to him after death.
Therefore, O mother, listen well and do what I tell you.

When he has killed himself, and has come into that place where you are, see that he does not escape the punishment he merits.

Watch well for his coming, for he is full of cunning and deceit, and will endeavor to hide himself from your eyes.
