Summary
A young woman of the Early Race is carried off by the Rain in the form of a bull. By /han≠kass’o (L VIII.-16. 7434-7448). The Rain courted a young woman of the Early Race, because of her scent. The young woman climbs onto the Rain's back and he starts to take her away to his home (the water-pit). The young woman rubs buchu on the Rain, which makes him fall asleep and she steals away from the Rain and returns home.
