Tu es vraiment le protecteur, ô meilleur des sages ; tu fais croître le bien de tous. Que le dessein du roi s’accomplisse ; et que j’obtienne une longue vie, inaltérable, puis, après avoir pratiqué une ascèse sans égale, que je goûte au monde céleste.
O Best among ascetics you are the protecor of everybody. You are promoter of others' welfare. May the king fulfil his purpose. May I live long and become immortal and attain heaven after performing great penance. May I enjoy heaven.
