“ Ka Mate!" under his breath (Will I die!) and "Ka Ora! Ka Ora!" (or will I live!) when the Noa reduced the incantation's effect. These lines were repeated many times, coinciding with the waxing and waning of the tohunga's power, until eventually Ngati Te Aho were convinced that Te Rauparaha had escaped towards Taranaki. It was only then that he finally exclaimed "Ka Ora! Ka Ora! Tenei te tangata Puhuruhuru nana nei i tiki mai Whakawhiti te ra!" (I live! I live! For it was indeed the wondrous power of a woman ("the Noa") that fetched the sun and caused it to shine again!) ”

“ A fragile peace had been made with the Waikato iwi, but Te Rauparaha and the other Ngati Toa Rangatira leaders were aware of the imminent conflict which could erupt at any time. Te Rauparaha journeyed from Kawhia to seek alliances with other tribal groups, one of those being Tuwharetoa who lived in the Lake Taupo region. Te Rauparaha was connected to Tuwharetoa and Te Heu Heu II Mananui, the Paramount Chief of Tuwharetoa. ”
