- XVI.
- A perfect gem am I,
- who in the midst of the worlds and the aeons.
- An ironwork am I,
- a great gorge of rock.
- Every Dēw who threw himself on me was crushed,
- on whom I threw myself I crushed.
- Every Dēw who raises his head,
- every amulet spirit who makes the waves of his countenance go up
- and looks towards these souls with evil intent,
- shall be beaten and plagued by the book of Manharbēl Estaqlus,
- the little child who dwells at the pure source of light.
- every amulet spirit who makes the waves of his countenance go up
- Let him be smitten with the fist of water,
- with which the fire was smitten and went out,
- by the power of Man the physician,
- by the power of men of proven righteousness.
- And life is victorious.
