1. Verily, at that time and place, it has been said, in this house, 2. The Ṭsi´-zhu, a people who have seven fireplaces, spake to one another, 3. Saying: O, younger brothers, 4. The little ones have nothing of which to make their bodies. 5. Then, at that very time they spake 6. To the Sho´-ḳa Wa-ba-xi (the Chief Messenger), 7. Saying: O, younger brother, 8. The little ones have nothing of which to make their bodies, 9. Take heed and see what can be done. 10. Then, at that very time, 11. The Chief Messenger 12. Hastened to the 13. God of Day (the Sun), who sitteth in the heavens, 14. And returned with him to the people. 15. They spake to the God of Day, saying: O, grandfather, 16. The little ones have nothing of which to make their bodies. 17. Then, at that very time, 18. The God of Day quickly replied: It is well you sent for me. 19. Of all the groups of gods, 20. I am a god by myself. 21. The little ones shall make of me their bodies. 22. Even among the gods, 23. There is not one who has power to see my path. 24. When the little ones make of me their bodies, 25. Even among the gods 26. There is not one who shall be able to see their path, in life’s journey. 27. Even among the gods 28. There is not one who has power to cross my path. 29. When the little ones make of me their bodies, 30. Even among the gods 31. There is not one who shall be able to cross their path, in life’s journey. 32. Even among the gods 33. What one is there who can stand in my way to prevent my going? 34. When the little ones make of me their bodies, 35. Even among the gods 36. There is not one who shall be able to stand in their way to prevent their going. 37. I am not the only god, 38. Take heed and make further search. 2
