A soul is cast into his body,

and they eat bodily food.

By the power of the living fire

the consuming fire speaks.

The consuming fire speaks,

and all things, this and that, arise from it.

When the leaves, flowers and herbs come into being,

and all fruits, grapes and trees

that adorn the world,

then by the fragrance of the living water and the living fire

their foul odour will become sweet-smelling.

From the fodder that the devouring fire devours,

your food will come to you.

Three Uthras will come

and guard the soul.

They will make the call of life heard

and light up the frail house.

Two Uthras will come

and go hither at the head of the water.

They will bring water

and make a river in the world.

A river they will make in the world

and spread splendour over it.

They will plant plants ...........

They will be full of faith, wisdom and insight

and make a noble call heard.

A noble call they will make heard

and spread splendour over the house.

The flow that pours out of the water

that falls upon the earth Tibil,

the flow of the earth Tibil

shall serve you as water when you thirst.

The house of the earth Tibil

shall serve you as a guard.

Of your followers who come forth from you

guards shall be made for you.

They shall be guards over you,

who watch over your rings.

Over your rings they shall watch,

over the fetter that equals the fullness of the worlds.

They shall watch over the high stocks,

which are heavier than all worlds."

When the wicked one heard this,

his heart was full of fury.

Full of fury was his heart,

and he shook the anvil of the earth.

The anvil of the earth he shook,

he shook the rings,

he shook the fetter

that equals the fullness of the worlds.

I arose in the power of the Living One

and made a petition to the great God.

Then I called forth and made a wall about him, an iron wall,

and laid a ring about him.

A ring I laid about him,

whose strength no one can match.

No one can match its strength

to move him from his place.

With my heel I stamped upon the earth

and shook his heart from its support.

I laid a wrapping about his heart

and tied a knot about his body.

I tied seven knots about him,

so that the voice of darkness was forced out of him.

I tied the great knot

and made all his speech void.

With twelve wrappings I wrapped him,

so that his twelve (evil) thoughts remained with him.

I bound him with a loud voice,

so that all their fault departed from them.

I bound him with a fetter,

so that the seven ..... remained with him.

I struck at him with the club and smote him

and split a cleft in his head.

I made him groan like women

and made him weep like a child.

I made filth his food,

foul water his drink.

I extinguished the burning and the glow

of the consuming, destructive fire.

I took the greed from him

and clothed him with rage.

I levelled a path for the good

and made a gate for the world.

A gate for the world I made

and set up a throne in it.

A throne for the good I set up

and prepared a lamp at it.

A lamp I prepared at it,

perfect beyond measure.

A watch-tower for the servants of salvation [I set up]

at the place where they live in fullness, without lack.

I set up thrones for them

and handed them garments.

The river of the great God I made

and set guards at it.

I set two Uthras at it,

abundantly provided, without lack.

A throne I set up for the chief of the beings of splendour

and set up a lamp before it.

A lamp I set up,

perfect beyond measure.

With enlightenment and praise,

with what God let me hear,

with enlightenment and praise

I arose and went to the house of the Mighty One.

In the joy that I felt,

I spoke to the Mighty One.

The Great One rejoiced and showed Himself steadfast,

He was exceedingly pleased with me.

God showed me His gratitude

and raised my splendour beyond its former measure.

He said to me:

"May Truth keep you safe, O good one,

and keep safe the word in which you have spoken."

God turned in His joy

to the Uthras and said:

"Praise the power of the man

who healed the water by fire.

Praise the power of the man
