"I offer my obeisances unto you, who are dressed in garments
resembling molten gold, the moon, blue lotuses, coral, and
dark rainclouds; unto you, who bestow the most desirable
boons on your devotees by means of your delightful dancing;
unto you, who are the master of the impersonalists and unto
you, whose flag bears the image of the bull."
