1. May all the gods permit us to enter the field after worshipping 

 the sun god : 



The gods' consent obtained, O goyi lord, give us sickles. 

 May the clouds keep us cool, shading the sun's rays, 

 And the gods deliver from all evil, granting peace these 30 

 peyas. 



* These stanzas probably form part of the Tala-mala-varnnandva.
