2pitää pilvissä keräjän,holds an assembly in clouds,
3säkeissä neuvon selvän,in verses clear counsel,
4nostaa lonkan luotehelta,lifts the cloud-mass from northwest,
5pilven pitkältä perältä,from the cloud's long tail-end,
6kokoo kolmelta taholta,gathers from three quarters,
7yheksältä yhjäytti,emptied from nine regions,
8nurin puolin nyhjäytti,twisted upside-down,
9satoi kyitä, käärmehitä etc.rained vipers, serpents, etc.
