Whatever trouble hath disturbed and shaken me—I speak with hope, I move, imploring, 'mid the folk What harm my body in myself hath suffered, now let Sarasvati relieve with fatness.

Seven flow for him, the youth on whom the Maruts wait: the sons have taught the Father everlasting laws.
Both worlds are his: both shine belonging unto him. Both move together: both, as his possession thrive.
