Odu Invocation and Source Provenance
Opening line (preserved verbatim):
Odi yeku diyeku olordafun barabaniregun aun ruku oloya umbo unpolose ayarelo.
Source provenance. Translation of odu 63, Odi Yeku / Odi Yekun, from the individual extract 063 Odi Oyekun — Tratado fuente (Google Docs). The linked document is an individual extract rather than the full source tratado; it contains the formal material and four story headings (1–4). The section title reads Odi Yeku, the works heading reads Odi Yekun, and the odu is also known as Odi Oyekun; the translated text preserves those forms without normalization.
