One bore six burdens, one upheld the year, the elders brought forth cows. Three stood above the earth, rocky caves two placed as shown, one alone revealed.
One stationary (year) sustains six burdens (in the season); the (solar) rays spread through that true and extensive (term); three revolving spheres are severally above, two of which are plural ced in secret, and one is visible.
One, moving not away, supports six burthens: the Cows proceed to him the true, the Highest. Near stand three Mighty Ones who travel swiftly: two are concealed from sight, one is apparent.
