He who made this 'yeem'—none knows him; he who saw the glowing deer hence: from that the motherly one encircled multitudes and entered opposite regions.
He who has made (this state of things) does not comprehend it; he who has beheld it, has it also verily hidden (from him); he, whilst yet enveloped in his mother's womb, is subject to many births, and has entered upon evil.
He who hath made him cloth not comprehend him: from him who saw him surely is he hidden. He, yet enveloped in his Mother's bosom, source of much life, hath sunk into destruction.
