Sacrifices connected with hunting and killing animals.] Kongpui Shiam (Making a Big Road).--This ceremony is supposed to make successful hunting probable; it also foretells the result. It is performed before a large hunting party starts and also annually about April. Translation of Lushai Account. "As soon as it gets dusk two men and the puithiam go a short way down the road which leads out of the village southwards taking a small pig with them, and there they make a fire, and kill the pig and cook its flesh. They drink some zu which they have brought with them in a gourd and also eat the flesh of the pig. Presently they say no one is to come this way, and the puithiam sweeps a place in the middle of the road and places some of the ashes from the fire there, and sings this magic chant:-- "'Animals come, animals of the Ri lake come, animals of the Champhai come, animals from the village come, animals of Ai-zawl come, you with the white tusks, you with the standing manes (bears), you with the branching horns come.' "Then, picking up some small stones and putting them in their haversacks, they return. As they are about to enter the chief's house, they say, 'We are bringing men's and animals' heads.' The upas who are collected in the chief's house ask, 'Are you friends or enemies?' 'We are friends,' they reply. Then they open the door and put the stones which they have brought into a basket, and as they enter they are given zu." The next day is "hrilh" for the whole village. In the morning, early, they go to look at the ashes, and are supposed to be able to see the likeness to footmarks in them, and thus to what animals will be killed in the chase. If a man's foot marks are seen, it is unfortunate, and a man will be killed.
