And who decides the life of all living,

Which wash away all sins,

Of Him who is purest of the pure,

Of That which is holiest of holies,

Of Him who is God among Gods,

Of That father who lives Without death,

Among all that lives in this world,

Of Him whom all the souls,

Were born at the start of the world,

Of Him in whom, all that lives,

Will disappear at the end of the world,

And of that the chief of all this world,

Who bears the burden of this world?.

I would teach you without fail,

Of those names with fame.

Which deal of His qualities great,

And which the sages sing,

So those beings of this wide world,

Become happy and great.
