On the summit he was received by six priests, whose long and matted locks flowed disorderly over their sable robes, covered with hieroglyphic scrolls of mystic import. They led him to the sacrificial stone, a huge block of jasper, with its upper surface somewhat convex.
黒い毛皮のローブの上に、長くそして絡まり合った髪の房を乱雑に垂れ下げた男が、不可解な象形文字に覆われた巻物を運び、頂上で6人の神官に迎えられた。神官たちは、幾分高くなり、巨大な碧玉で出来た生け贄の祭壇へと彼を導いた。
– ウィリアム・H・プレスコット、History of the Conquest of Mexico
The long-haired one endures fire, the long-haired one endures poison, the long-haired one endures both worlds. The long-haired one is said to gaze full on heaven, the long-haired one is said to be that light ... Of us, you mortals, only our bodies do you behold. ...For him has the Lord of life churned and pounded the unbendable, when the long-haired one, in Rudra’s company, drank from the poison cup (The Keshin Hymn, Rig-veda 10.136)
