Angayan idondon Bangan si Kabigat ut inmangaya. Itotukduun pay
sina ay Bangan. Amui pay si Kabigat ya binutbutna san kayi ay
dakdakui yan tinmudtud san dada. Angayan kaapap si Kabigat isan
paguna yan tamokdo.
Ingayan sumaa ut asina kanan, "Kaasita pay sina adi pay nanatui
sina tan samo waday kayi ay mandada." On gayutkan kinwanin Bangan,
"Kambau! sian ay poon di atud di maydosadan." Ut magay pagnan
ipaytok sinan kay ipugau.
Bangan and Kabigat went to get dorian. [9] Bangan carried on the
head in the carrying basket, and Kabigat carried on the back in
the carrying frame. They found the dorian and then dug it up,
and Bangan filled the carrying basket and Kabigat filled the
carrying frame with the root of the dorian.
Then Bangan sent Kabigat to get wood. Kabigat then went and picked
up a large piece of wood dripping with blood. Then at once Kabigat
put his hand on his chest and sat down.
Then he went home immediately and said, "Pity us because there has
been death here, since the wood was bleeding." Then Bangan said,
"Oh! This is the origin of the remedy for maydosadan." So it was
handed down to the people.
After the chicken has been killed and cooked, the story is repeated.

Manbating is one of the ceremonies which is held when a person is
bleeding from the nose or mouth. The mambunong holds a chicken in
one hand, while he sits in front of a basket containing a rope and
says the following:
