If [we are to] weave [water], [We must first ask] the golden-eyed fish About weaving [the water], [And then] act in accordance with its wishes. The father is the Holy Buddha. The mother is a Dakini of noble lineage. The birthplace of children Is Slate Mountain, a good place to live. The birthplace of young men Is the assembly-row on the left. Offer up, offer up, Offer up beer and [tea in a] precious teapot. Today the row [of people sitting] forms a circle. Leave [the assembly] feeling happy! Today the row [of people sitting] forms a circle. Leave [the assembly] feeling joyful!
