E noho ana a Te Rangi Tahau o Te Arawa i runga i tētahi wharenui ko Rauru i te tānga kawa o te whare. Tokorua ngā tohunga nā rāua i tā te kawa o tānei whare. I kīa rā ko Te Rangi Tahau, 'he toa kaitā i ōna rā ... ka mutu he tangata inati tonu, he kanohi tā moko wetiweti me tōna tiro māhoi e tohu ana i ōna rā pakanga'. Ko tērā o ngā tohunga ko Tumutara Pio o Ngāti Awa. 'He tohunga poto, he pāhau mā anō nei ia he pōtekiteki' (Māui Pōmare rāua ko James Cowan, Legends of the Maori. Ākarana: Southern Reprints, 1987 (tānga tuatahi 1930), wh. 262). E waru ngā rangi i muri mai ka mate a Te Rangi Tahau, ā, taro kau iho ka mate hoki a Tumutara Pio. E kīa ana i hinga ngā tohunga nei i ngā mākutu a tētahi ki tētahi.
