Sebagaimana kami menghimpun bahagian yang hilang, sebagaimana kami memungut kembali yang berselerak, sebagaimana kami melangsaikan hutang—demikianlah semoga kami menghimpun dan meniadakan seluruh mimpi-buruk di ranah Āptya. Semoga pertolonganmu yang tidak letih, pertolonganmu yang baik, bersama kami.
