Any one reading these twelve names,
At dawn, noon and dusk,

And would always achieve whatever he wants.
One who pursues education will get knowledge,
One who wants to earn money will get money,
One who wishes for a son, will get a son,
And one who wants salvation will get salvation.

In writing to Eight wise people,
