Of the Flowers lords
When they descend,
And "there is no food"
Is the burden of the Flower katun.
In his time
There also does not come
The creation
Of the Gods of hell,
The nine steps
That descend,
The creation of the Flowers,
Of the measuring stick.
Blue bird
And hummingbird
Are also the spirits
Who come down
When they suck the nectars of the
Flowers,
The nine children of Flowers.
Then there appears
The heart of the Flower:
Four branches
And all the Flowers,
And there the sun priest is seated
For the counting of the tun.
When that is done
There appear the 13 Gods,
But they don't know them,
Descending to the unfolded mat,
And arriving
At the word,
Bearing
The Flower,
And the mat of the Flower,
And the mat of the Flower,
And the yellow throne.
Za Uin
Is seated:
Envy is his gourd,
Envy is his plate,
Envy is his heart,
Envy is his mouth.
