Ascending, bright, unwearied, he traverseth the mighty regions; shining, he assumeth twofold forms. Wondrous, discerning, the mighty Bull, whose magic is as wind, he shineth forth over whatsoever worlds there be, making them manifest.
Ngài vươn lên, rực sáng, không mệt mỏi, đi khắp những cõi rộng lớn; khi chiếu soi, Ngài hiện thành hai dạng. Kỳ diệu, minh tri, là Con Bò Đực hùng mạnh, có māyā như gió; Ngài tỏa sáng trên mọi thế giới hễ có, khiến chúng hiển lộ.
