Then the bloodstained son of Tuoni Drew his sword, and smote the hero, With his gleaming blade he hewed him, While it shed a stream of flashes, And he hewed him in five fragments, And in pieces eight he hewed him,450 Then in Tuonela's stream cast them, Where are Manala's abysses.

And the sun knew all about it, And the sun made answer plainly: "There has gone your son unhappy, He has fallen and has perished, Down in Tuoni's murky river, Manala's primeval river,190 There in the tremendous cataract, Where the torrent rushes downward, There on Tuonela's dark frontier, There in Manala's deep valleys."

And on earth is song more cheerful, Than to Manala if banished.

And with rapid steps he hastened, Wandered for a week through bushes, Through bird-cherry for a second, And through juniper the third week, Straight to Manala's dread island.
