At the time of giving birth to me, O Mother!, you suffered from
unbearable pain. You did not speak about the suffering of your
body nor of your painful condition while lying in the bed for
almost a year. For even one of the sufferings that you underwent
during pregnancy, O Mother!, a son is unable to offer atonement.
To that mother I offer my salutations! (1)
