[...] (You are) satisfied with the bliss of the Command and have made the Wheel of the Command (your) seat as (you) fill (everything) all around with the resounding sounds of Sound and Resonance. (You) fill [i.e., pūrayat] (the body) from the soles of the feet up to the end of the head with the powerful sounds (of mantras) [i.e., mahatsvana]”.
