The fastenings of the clamps, the fastenings of the coverings, and of the tight-embracing wrap,—these bindings of Māna’s wife do we cut apart.
Las ataduras de las pinzas, las ataduras de las coberturas y del envoltorio que abraza con fuerza; estas ligaduras de la esposa de Māna las cortamos y las separamos.
