The brown, the black, the red, the multi-coloured, the firm Earth bless us, that we have settled upon. Into thy middle set us, Oh Earth, into the nourishing strength that has grown from thy body. The Earth is the Mother and we are the children of the Earth. The fragrance, O Earth, that has risen from thee, which the planets and the waters hold with that make us fragrant. Earth, hold us safe this night.
Devotee dips finger in water and anoints brow.
In the pure stream, the woman bathes, in the pure stream, Ninlil walks along the bank of the stream Nunbirdu. May we too see with the eye of true vision, this evening and in our dreams. Devotee inhales the fragrant incense. Who provided shade with her feathers and created wind with her wings, Endow us also with thy strength in flight, may our minds soar with thine in heaven, As our souls leave our bodies this night. Shine on us, O Devi, Beautiful Kundalini, Shining Devi, come in thy good will and at our need.
