Primary Cause and Primary Essence,                   O...Aiyaya
O Creator of the world,                                                O...Aiyaya
You who granted to us discernment,                     O...Aiyaya
You who gave us the sense like a lamp,                O...Aiyaya

O let there be praise in our minds.                          O...Aiyaya
Let there be always praise in the mind.                O...Aiyaya
Grant us the will to serve the Lord,                         O...Aiyaya
O You, the Lord of the world,                                     O...Aiyaya

You Who gives knowledge to all,                              O...Aiyaya
O You the Lord of time.                                                 O...Aiyaya

You Who knows all the past                                        O...Aiyaya
You Who holds the beginning                                    O...Aiyaya

Oh You Who is praised foremost                                O...Aiyaya
You are the One Who counts the time                     O...Aiyaya

I went on counting the measures of chili               O...Aiyaya
Rather than counting the measures of pearls      O...Aiyaya
Because of the lure of worldly delusions                O...Aiyaya
I counted just what could be seen by day              O...Aiyaya
