Propitious Rice

Oh! Food of the Gods
You are an oblation
To humanity
For you satiate
Both the living and dead

Your immeasurable capacity
To produce thousands of grains
From a single grain
Elucidates the depth of your compassion
Which is deeper than the ocean
And firmer than the earth

Oh! Munificent rice
You reign supreme at all times
For your presence is conspicuous
At majestic and murky occasions
This propitious attribute
Makes you the ruler
Of the heaven and earth!
