deed.
I free from every evil, from decline: I compass round with life.

gone apart
I free, etc.
4Parted are heaven and earth, and paths turned to each quarter
of the sky.
I free, etc.
5Tvashtar prepares the bridal of his daughter; then all this world
of life departs and leaves him.

breath.

everywhere.

long life.

the vital air.

plants!

I free from every evil, from decline: I compass round with life.
