Meaning
If they sing the name of the peerless one who rose tall and measured the worlds, and bathe in his honor, the whole land will prosper without harm: three rains will fall each month. Fish will leap among the tall red paddy, speckled bees will doze in the blooming water lilies, and the great generous cows will fill pot after pot the moment their udders are touched. The land will overflow with wealth that never leaves.
