Thou shinest in heaven, thou shinest in the mid-air; O Patanga, on earth thou shinest; thou shinest within the waters. With radiance thou hast filled both oceans: a god thou art, yea god; the mighty one, the heaven-winning.
汝は天に輝き、汝は中空に輝く。パタンガ(Pataṅga、飛ぶ者)よ、地において輝き、また水の内において輝く。汝は光輝をもって二つの海を満たした。汝は神、まことに神—雄々しき者、天界を勝ち得る者。
