“The spirit who lives in Dadaya lies in bed; he looks at his igam, and they are dull.  He looks again, ’Why are my igam dull?  Ala, let us go to Sudipan, where the Tinguian live, and let us take our igam, so that some one may make them bright again.’  After that they laid them (the igam) on the house of the Ipogau, and they are all sick who live in that house.  Kaboniyan looked down on them.  ’Ala, I shall go down to the Ipogau,’ He truly went down to them, ’What is the matter with you?’ ‘We are all sick who live in the same place,’ said those sick ones.  ’That is true, and the cause of your sickness is that they (the spirits) laid down their igam on you.  It is best that you make Pala-an, since you have received their igam, for that is the cause of your illness,’ After that they made Pala-an, and they recovered from their sickness, those who lived in the same place. (Here the medium calls the spirits of Dadaya by name and then continues.) ’Now those who live in the same place make bright again those igam which you left in their house.  Make them well again, if you please’.”

As soon as she finishes her recital, the pig is stabbed in the throat, its blood is collected, and is mixed with cooked rice.  The carcass is singed at once.  Five men then carry it to the top of the pala-an, where it is cut up.  The suet and the hind legs are handed to the medium, who places them behind the screen in the room, and the family may then rest assured that the spirits thus remembered will free them from headache and sore eyes.  After the flesh has been cut into small pieces, most of it is carried into the dwelling to be cooked for the guests, but a portion is placed in a bamboo tube, and is cooked beneath the pala-an.  When it is ready to serve, the five men again go to the top of the structure and eat it, together with cooked rice, then they take the bamboo cooking tube, tie some of the sacred vines from behind the curtain about it, and fasten it to one pole of the pala-an.  The men in the house are free to eat, and when they are finished, the women dine.

In the cool of the afternoon, the people begin to assemble in the yard, where they are soon joined by the medium carrying a spear in one hand, a rooster in the other, and with a rice winnower atop her head.  She places the latter on a rice-mortar close to the pala-an, and uncovering it reveals a small head-axe, notched chicken feathers, her shells, five pieces of betel-nut and two leaves, a jar cover, a dish of oil, and a coconut shell filled with rice and blood.
