In the quarters they bowed together to Candra; thereby he attained success. As in the quarters they bowed to Candra, so, even thus, let acts of homage bow together unto me.
En las direcciones se inclinaron juntos ante Candra; así alcanzó el éxito. Como en las direcciones se inclinaron ante Candra, así también, de ese mismo modo, que los actos de homenaje se inclinen juntos hacia mí, que se inclinen al unísono.
