Kalevala: The Epic Poem of Finland PREFACE / JOHN MARTIN CRAWFORD. / THE KALEVALA. / PROEM; lines 5025-5208 confidence: high
After anointing, Wainamoinen suffers greatly; the gray-beard banishes the torment by magic to Hisi's realm, makes a silk bandage, wraps the wounds, and prays to Ukko/Creator for protection from evil and Hisi's wilds.
The gray-beard drives Wainamoinen's torment to a court of trouble, hill of torture, rocks, evil-bearing mountains, and Hisi's realm.
