¹When Ho-yeon’s first menstruation began, Hyeong-ryeol had Ho-yeon sit on the prepared paper pile.²On the first day, the menstrual flow soaked almost enough paper to make one book. On the second day, enough paper to make two books was thoroughly soaked,³and the excess blood was squeezed out, filling two bowls.⁴This blood was used to draw swallows or mark dots and write the word gamgyeol (甘結), and thus was completed the work of renewal.

⁵The participants in this work of renewal were Gim Hyeong-ryeol, Seo Jung-ok, and Gim Gi-bo.⁶After completing this work of renewal, they cut up some of the blood-stained papers into small pieces and each retained a piece. They also each took a sheet of paper marked with dots and writings inscribed in menstrual blood.

⁷After completing the work of renewal for the Sacred Seed That Mediates Immortality, Hyeong-ryeol and Ho-yeon became husband and wife, as ordained by Sangjenim.
