Why not make a bet with me, O Lord of Wealth?

You Yourself are the deity, and You are the temple of worship. You are the devoted worshipper.

From the water, the waves rise up, and from the waves, the water. They are only different by figures of speech. ||1||

You Yourself sing, and You Yourself dance. You Yourself blow the bugle.
