Taking welfare and safety I come; may I proceed higher, entering your heads. From under to above I raise like a frog from water, like a frog from the waters.
Seizing upon your goods and chattels, may I victorious; I walk upon your heads; cry aloud frombeneath my feet, like frogs from (below) the water, like frogs from (below) the water.
May I be highest, having gained your strength in war, your skill in peace my feet have trodden on your heads. Speak to me from beneath my feet, as frogs from out the water croak, as frogs from out the water croak.
