1 Famed be the Elephant's strength, the lofty glory which God granted him!

By God's grace this is given me for my possession.

2 On this have God the Friend, the All-Seeing, the Mighty, and the Healer fixed their thought.

May God, the All-Nourishing, anoint and balm me with his strength.

3 The strength wherewith the Elephant was dowered, that decks a king among men, in waters,

O God the Radiant, even with that strength make me vigorous to-day.

4 The lofty strength which devotion brings, O All-Knowing, unto Thee,

What strength the sun possesses, all strength of the royal Elephant—such strength vouchsafe to me, O my Lord!

5 Far as the heavens' four regions spread, far as the eye's most distant ken,

So wide, so vast let power be mine, this vigour of the Elephant.

6 Now hath the Elephant become chief of all pleasant beasts to ride.

With his high fortune and his strength I grace and consecrate myself.
