Invincible, unconquered, and unharmed, I have on her established my abode. Impart to us those vitalising forces that come, 0 Earth, from deep within your body, your central point, your navel, purify us wholly The Earth is mother; I am son of Earth. The Rain-giver is my father; may he shower on us blessings!”
