The One watches over its children, forgives, and gives the heart its wish.
The Arc
Closing the Fifth House Dupde, the Rahau comes first: the Supreme, through the teaching, watches over its own children, and peace and gladness follow with the offering made whole. The middle verse has the One hear the prayers of those who love it, lifting sickness and bringing life back. The close forgives the singer's faults, steadies them with the One's own strength, and gives the heart its wish — met only with thanks.
