Let not the people, let not the people call thee ‘no bestower’: again to thee, O singer, I give the speckled cow. Come hither to my whole praise with thy powers, within all the human quarters.
Die Menschen sollen dich nicht, sollen dich nicht „nicht-gewährend“ nennen: wieder gebe ich dir, o Sänger, die scheckige Kuh. Komm zu meinem ganzen Lobpreis mit deinen Kräften, in allen menschlichen Himmelsrichtungen, in ihrem Innern.
