Tāne separates Ranginui and Papatūānuku, bringing light to the world.
At first, the world was shrouded in darkness due to the close bond between Ranginui and Papatūānuku. Their sons debated whether they should separate their parents to allow light, warmth, and growth into the world. Despite disagreement among them, Tāne ultimately managed to severe them apart by pushing his legs against Ranginui and bracing his back and arms against Papatūānuku allowing the first light to emerge.
