Let the Fivefold Rice stride forth in five divisions; as it is advanced, (let it win) the three Lights. Go onward to the midst of the worshippers, of the well-doers; in the third heaven, thereon take thou thy settled seat.
पाँच तरह की चावल पाँच हिस्सों में बढ़ चली जाए। जब यह आगे बढ़ती है, तीन रोशनियों तक पहुँचो। जो लोग पूजा करते हैं, उनके बीच में जाओ। तीसरे आसमान में जाके बैठ जाओ।
