Translation.
At the fourth upper world they were made human beings.
"Still," said he (the elder brother?), indeed he really said,
"The children have no bodies.
"Ho, younger brother!
"We must give this matter our attention."
They came to the third upper world.
"The children have no bodies."
"Still must we give this our attention," said one.
They came to the second upper world. (From this line on there is no variation from what has been given above.)
