Er schreitet voran, über die Not hinaus, in eine sichere Wohnstatt; er gewinnt weite und mächtige Antriebe der Kraft — der, welcher euch zur rechten Wahl die Gabe darbringt. Voran wird er mit Nachkommenschaften geboren, vom Dharma (Gesetz) behütet; unversehrt an allen Gliedern wächst er im Ganzen seines Seins.
