1. He hides himself like a thief with the cow of vision in the
secret cavern, he takes to himself our adoration, and thither
25he carries it.1 The thinkers take a common joy in him, they
follow him by his footprints; all the Masters of sacrifice
come to thee, O Flame, in the secrecy.

3. He is as if a delightful thriving, he is like the earth our wide
dwelling-place. He is enjoyable like a hill and bliss-giving
like fast-running water. He is like a charger in the battle
80rushing to the gallop and like a flowing river,3 who shall
hedge in his course?
1 Or better, he takes to himself our surrender, he carries with him our surrender.

1054. He is the close comrade of the Rivers as is a brother of his
sisters. He devours the earth’s forests as a king his enemies.
When driven by the breath of the wind he ranges around the
forests, the Flame tears asunder the hairs of Earth’s body.

5. He breathes in the Waters like a seated swan. Waking in
135the dawn he has power by the will of his works to give
knowledge to the peoples. He is like the God of the Wine,

new-born. He is wide-spreading and his light is seen from
afar.
