Ye Four Herdsmen of the Deer, Come ye down to meet the dogs. And refuse not to come down Or ye shall be rebels unto God, etc. It is not I who am huntsman, It is Pawang Sidi (wizard Sidi) that is huntsman; It is not I whose dogs these are, It is Pawang Sakti (the 'magic wizard') whose dogs these are; Let Dang Durai cross the water, It is only a civet-cat that is left for me. Grant this by virtue of my teacher, 'Toh Raja-- May his art be yet more powerful in my hands. [312] By virtue of 'There is no god but God,'" etc. A deer Pawang ('Che Indut) also gave me this charm for recital when the support (lit. "shoulder") of the noose is being cut (for which purpose it would appear that a young tree of the kind called "Delik" is usually taken). "The Delik's branches spread out horizontally (at the top), [313] Chop at it, and it will produce roots. Though its bark is destroyed, a cudgel is still left for people's bones, Even though it be worked on by the charm Kalinting Bakar." [314] From the same source I obtained this charm, addressed to the Deer, but intended for fixing the scent (menetapkan bau), and for suspending the toils (memasang jerat):-- "Teng [315] [stands for] the satengteng flower, Ascend ye the twin stream. If you delight in bracelets and rings Push forward your two fore-feet. "When setting the nooses (bubohkan perindu jerat) say, addressing the deer as before:-- "Be filled with yearning, be filled with longing, As the Holy Basil grows even to a rock, Be filled with yearning as you sit, be filled with yearning as you go, Fast-bound by love of this noose of mine." The directions given me by another Pawang commenced with a charm for emboldening the dogs, after which the account proceeds:-- "When you have finished (the charm referred to), take seven steps forward, leaving the toils behind you, and standing erect, look forward and call as follows:-- "O all ye Saids (lawful descendants of the Prophet), Unto you, my Lords, belong the Deer, Si Lambaun was the origin of the Deer, Si Lanang is their Herdsman, Drive ye the Deer into our toils. This causeway of rock (titian batu) is your high road and market-square, The resort of innumerable people. Follow, follow in long procession, And let the "Assembly"-Flower unfold its petals. Come in procession, come in succession, Our toils have come to summon you to the spot. Ho, Deer that are unfortunate, Deer that are curst, Enter this path of mine which is empty of men. On the left stand spearmen, On the right stand spearmen, And whichever of (those two) ways you go, By that self-same way will you be turned back. "Now proceed till you meet the stag, and as he rouses himself from slumber, say:--
