70. And it is Thou that, O most gracious Lord, seeing this world swallowed by the diabolic *Ajagara* (Boa-constructor) of Darkness, of formidable jaws, and deprived, like unto one dead, of

all vitality, hast through compassion roused it with but a glance of Thine and every day and every time makest it keep to the course of performing its own duties, (the high road to) the highest good, and goest about like a king who instils fear into the wicked.
