Having attained an abundance of darkness, inactive, devoid of motion,
joyless, devoid of organs, covered by great darkness,
reduced to this condition, make us joined with righteousness.'
Hearing their word, the god born from the waters,

'O immovable ones, welcome to you! I am pleased with those seeking refuge.
My children, I destroy the darkness made by the curse of Dakṣa for you.
