His spiritually hale body is made of the blue mirage;
[In] the home above the sky,
He performs the ceremony in company with us,
He performs the ceremony by means of it.
The Big Yellow Mountain Spirit in the south,
[In] the home above the clouds,
He performs the ceremony in company with us.

He is happy over me, I am happy over him,
My songs have been created.
