Agitate him, O Ascendant; destroy him; entangle in Your snares the scholar's tyrant.

2 He from whom winds blow pure in ordered season, from whom the seas flow forth in all directions: this God is wroth, offended by the sinner who wrongs the scholar who has gained this knowledge.

11 In front the great hymn is His mantle, and from behind another enfolds Him, ever with care robing themselves in splendour: this God is wroth, offended by the sinner who wrongs the scholar who has gained this knowledge.

12 One of His wings was the one hymn, and the other the other, vigorous with one same purpose, what time the angels gave the Ascendant His being: this God is wroth, offended by the sinner who wrongs the scholar who has gained this knowledge.

13 At evening He is the All-Seeing and the Radiant; ascending in the morning He is the Friend. As the Life-giver He moves through the mid-region of air; as the Mighty He warms the heavens from the centre: this God is wroth, offended by the sinner who wrongs the scholar who has gained this knowledge.
