[Footnote 6: Moerenhout translates (I, 419): "He was, _Taaroa_ (Kanaloa)
was his name. He dwelt in immensity. Earth was not. _Taaroa_, called,
but nothing responded to him, and, existing alone, he changed himself
into the universe. The pivots (axes or orbits), this is _Taaroa_; the
rocks, this is he. _Taaroa_ is the sand, so is he named. _Taaroa_ is the
day. _Taaroa_ is the center. _Taaroa_ is the germ. _Taaroa_ is the base.
_Taaroa_ is the invincible, who created the universe, the sacred
universe, the shell for _Taaroa_, the life, life of the universe."]

[Footnote 7: Moerenhout, I, 423: "_Taaroa_ slept with the woman called
_Hina_ of the sea. Black clouds, white clouds, rain are born. _Taaroa_
slept with the woman of the uplands; the first-germ is born. Afterwards
is born all that grows upon the earth. Afterwards is born the mist of
the mountain. Afterwards is born the one called strong. Afterwards Is
born the woman, the beautiful adorned one," etc.]
