a Thou art secure; may I be secure among my equals, wise, a guardian, a gainer of wealth; thou art secure; may I be secure among my equals, dread, a guardian, a gainer of wealth.

b Thou art affection; O ye angels of affection, those equals, youths, of one mind, them I love with my heart; may they love me with their hearts; make them of one mind with me. Thou art affection; O ye angels of affection, the women of one mind, them I love with my heart; may they love me with their hearts; make them of one mind with me.

One who desires a village should offer to all the angels the sacrifice for taking possession; his equals are under their care; he has recourse to them with their own share, and they subject his equals to him; he becomes possessed of a village. It is the offering for taking possession; taking possession is grasping the mind; thus he grasps the mind of his equals. "Thou art secure; may I be secure among my equals," with these words he puts the enclosing-sticks round; thus he invokes this blessing. "Thou art affection; O ye angels of affection," with these words he offers three oblations; so many are his equals, great, small, and women; he wins them, and being won they wait on him.
