The name of a rocky bluff that stands on the side of Mount Wai-ale-ale, looking to Wailua. It as said to divide the flow from the great morass, the natural reservoir formed by the hollow at the top of the mountain, turning a part of it in the direction of Wai-niha, a valley not far from Hanalei, which otherwise would, it is said by Hawaiians, go to swell the stream that forms the Wailua river. This rock, in the old times, was regarded as a demigod, a _kupua_, and had a lover who resided in Wai-lua, also another who resided in the mountains. The words in the first two or three verses may be taken as if they were the utterance of this Wai-lua lover, saying “I will go up and see my sweetheart Ka-wai-kini.”] [Footnote 297: _Pihana-ka-lani_. Literally, the fullness of heaven. This was a forest largely of lehua that covered the mountain slope below Ka-wai-kini. It seems as if the purpose of its mention was to represent the beauties and charms of the human body. In this romantic region lived the famous mythological princes—_alii kupua_, the Hawaiians called them—named _Kaua-kahi-alii_ and _Aiwohi-kupua_, with their princess sister _Ka-hale-lehua_. The second name mentioned was the one who married the famous heroine of the romantic story of _Laie-i-ka-wai_.] [Footnote 298: _Manu hulu ma’ema’e_. An allusion to the great number of plumage birds that were reputed to be found in this place.] [Footnote 299: _Puna-hele ia Kaua-kahi-alii_. The birds of the region are said to have been on very intimate and friendly terms with Kaua-kahi-alii. (See note _b_, p. 135.)]
