Trasnaltion (Seng Pan) A man called Kumraw Yaw Sha went to Putao to deliver the letters. When he arrived at the place, Masum Zup, he heard shouts of orangutans. Because an eagle attacked them. But Kumraw Yaw Sha could escape from there. When he arrived back home from delivering the letters, he divined what he should do as he got so shocked and ill. He found that he had to offer a sow to a spirit. So, he worshipped by offering a sow to a spirit and got well. The spirit was Pahkyi nat. That spirit always follows humans. It doesn't like the spices with a strong smell. For instance, garlic, ginger, etc. Whenever we offer the food to that spirit, we don't use the strong smell spices.
