Simple Translation
1984. He is the ancient god who, at the end of the eon,
became a boar and saved everything from the flood—
the worlds of the gods and all the seven worlds
where the faultless moon and the sun shine,
and all mountains and rivers of the earth, and the seven oceans.
Containing all the worlds and the oceans
in the vessel that he carried on his foot,
he protected us. He is our ruler.
