E whakaatu ana tēnei whakapapa i te hekenga o te kūmara mai i a Rongo-māui rāua ko Pani-tinaku. Whakarongo ki tēnei wāhanga o te waiata Pō! Pō!, nā Enoka Te Pakaru, mō te pūtaketanga o te kūmara.
Pō! Pō!
E tangi ana tama ki te kai māna!
Waiho, me tiki ake ki te Pou-a-kai
Hei ā mai te pakake ki uta rā,
Hei waiū mō tama;
Kia mauia e tō tupuna e Uenuku.
Whakarongo! Ko te kūmara ko Parinui-te-rā.
Ka hikimata te tapuae o Tangaroa,
Ka whaimata te tapuae o Tangaroa,
Tangaroa! Ka haruru!
