When Ngengu's mother was ill and did not get better she said "O Ngengu, take off the -"horns of a mithun for if " I drink water from the "horns, I believe that " I shall get well. Ngengu anu a chi a na hi, a dam hte ngawl chiangina " Ngengu "aw, na shiel hki hkat va tong "in, shiel hki sung tui ne "leang, ke chidam tu ke ki um "hi" ti ina a sol hi.
When thus ordered Ngengu went and took the horns of a relation's mithun and gave his mother water to drink from them. A solchiangina, Ngengu a pai hi, a pute shiel hki hkata la hi, shiel hki sunga au-ina tui a ne sak hi.
Then his mother became much better. Tachiangina a nu a chi a dam zaw hiet hi.
He then borrowed a relation's mithun and sacrificed it. Tachiangina a pute shiel hkat le toi-ina doi a bea hi.
His mother then became well. Tachiangina a nu a chidam hi.
That is the origin of Siyin Nat sacrifices. Sizang mihingte a doi beakna kipatna htu a hihi.
