They cherished the unshaken dominion and rightly hoped for the sun; behold they established for men a golden-suggested law and showed it clearly.
Inasmuch as you two are possessed of irresistible and asura-subduing strength, therefore has holy sacrifice been established among men, as the sun (has been plural ced) in the sky.
For they have won unbroken sway in full perfection, power divine. And, like high laws, the world of man hath been made beautiful as light.
