This one—one alone; that one—alone; by a third the lights spread. In the assembling their forms grew fortyfold; beloved in the supreme progenitor of gods.
This (light) is one (portion) of you, and this other is one (portion); with your third light enter into (outerradiance); on the entrance of the body into (the sun), the supreme birthplace of the gods, become lovely andbeloved.
HERE is one light for thee, another yonder: enter the third and he therewith united. Uniting with a body be thou welcome, dear to the Gods in their sublimest birthplace.
