Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 16


 * XVI.
 * A perfect gem am I,
 * who in the midst of the worlds and the aeons.
 * An ironwork am I,
 * a great gorge of rock.
 * Every Dēw who threw himself on me was crushed,
 * on whom I threw myself I crushed.
 * Every Dēw who raises his head,
 * every amulet spirit who makes the waves of his countenance go up
 * and looks towards these souls with evil intent,
 * shall be beaten and plagued by the book of Manharbēl Estaqlus,
 * the little child who dwells at the pure source of light.
 * Let him be smitten with the fist of water,
 * with which the fire was smitten and went out,
 * by the power of Man the physician,
 * by the power of men of proven righteousness.
 * And life is victorious.
