The Big Blue Mountain Spirit in the east,
In a home above the skies,
The leader of the Mountain Spirits, the holy Mountain Spirit,
I have met him.[9]
The Big Yellow Mountain Spirit in the south,
In his home above the clouds,
I have met him,
The leader of the Mountain Spirits, the holy Mountain Spirit.
The Big White Mountain Spirit in the west,
In his home made of the white clouds,
The leader of the Mountain Spirits, the holy Mountain Spirit,
I have met him.
The Big Black Mountain Spirit in the north,
In his home made of the black mirage,
I have met him,
The leader of the Mountain Spirits.
It is said that I met them by means of it.[10]
