You are the father, the begetter, of the world, of the host of living beings, the moving and the unmoving. Not only are You the father of this world, You are also worthy of worship, since You are the teacher, the more weighty. Why are You the more weighty? He says: there is none equal to You, none Your like; for two Lords cannot be, since with many Lords the working of things would be untenable. When even another equal to You cannot be, how then could any other be greater, in all the triple world, O You of matchless power? That by which a thing is measured is a 'pratimā'; You of whose power there is no measure are of matchless, unsurpassed power. Since it is so.

Of unsurpassed power, you are the father of this world of moving and unmoving things, and you are the teacher of this world. Therefore you are the more weighty, the most to be honoured, of this world of moving and unmoving things. There is none equal to you; whence another higher? In all three worlds there is none, other than you, equal to you by any quality whatever, compassion and the rest; whence one higher? Since you are the father of all, the most to be honoured, the teacher, and, by your qualities of compassion and the rest, higher than all.
