- I gratify Separation with his navel;
Butter with his flavour;
the Waters with his broth;
Sunbeams with his drops of fat;
Hoarfrost with his heat;
Ice with his marrow;
Hailstones with his tears;
Thunderbolts with his eye-rheum;
Rākṣasas with his blood;
Bright things with his limbs;
Stars with his beauty;
Earth with his skin.
All-hail to Jumbaka!
