Plain text of Book 6, Hymn 76

Those who are sitting round this babe prepare him to be looked upon. Let the Radiant One, thoroughly inflamed with all His tongues, rise from his heart.

2 For length of life I use the name of the Radiant, the Consuming God, whose smoke the sage who knows the truth beholds proceeding from His mouth.

3 The man who knows his fuel laid in order by the warrior sets not his foot upon the steep declivity that leads to death.

4 Those who encompass slay him not: he goes not near his lurking foes: the warrior who, knowing well, takes the Radiant One's name for length of life.
