Nats, men and Brahmas delight to hear. Whatever may be his desire, at the 

 thought of his heatt merely, let that desire be fulfilled. Let him not, in the 

 least, meet with that, towards which he has no mental disposition, and for 

 which he has no desire. When the deity Ai'lmade^a,^^ shall be revealed, let 

 liim have the revelation, that he shall become Withudi Nat, supreme of the 

 three rational existences. In every state of existence, let him continually and 

 truly possess the excellence of wisdom, and according to his desire, in prac- 

 tices pertaining to this world, and to the divine state, so let it be accom- 

 plished. Thus, in order to cause the voice of homage, during the period of 

 5000 years, to be heard at the monument of the divine hair, in the city of 

 Rangoon, let the reward of the great merit of giving the Bell, called Malm

 Life, Lord of the White Elephant, the Royal Grand- Father, Aloungmengy 

 the Royal Uncle, the Royal Aunt Queen, the Royal Sons, the Royal Daugh- 

 ters, the Royal Relatives, the Royal Concubines, the Noblemen, the Mili- 

 tary Officers, and Teachers. Let the Nats who guard the religious dispen- 

 sation 5000 years, the Nats who guard the royal city, palace and umbrella;''' 

 the Nats who, all around, guard the empire, provinces and villages ; the Nats 

 who guard the monument of the divine hair, around the hill Tampakokta^ 

 together with the Nats governing Bomma and Akatha,^^ and all rational be- 

 ings throughout the universe, utter praises and accept the supplications.
