And seemed to ascend to the Palace-under-Heaven.
The night was past, the eastern heights were bright
Dang-chilseong was about to go when Lady Plum Flower asked
"Please interpret this dream for me before you go."
Dang-chilseong's words:
"That the sun seemed to rise is my destiny-star,
"That the moon seemed to rise is your destiny-star,
"You seeing blue and yellow dragons is you bearing precious sons."

With the taiyi star and the taibai star and the Cowherd's star and the Weaver's star, [3]
When the father king Dang-chilseong came.
What time was this time?
It was a time when cake grew on oak trees and rice grew on bush clovers [4]
When flying birds and running beasts could speak
And humans could not speak.
Dang-chilseong of the Palace-under-Heaven descended to the Palace-under-Earth
And went probing [5] the houses and inspecting the folk.

And shot down one sun and hung it in the Palace of Dyeseok
And shot down one moon and hung in in the Palace of Myeongmo [13]
When they went before the Buddha in the midst of the house. [14]
In the country of Korea east of the north and south seas, in whichever town, whichever neighborhood, whichever village,
In the household of whichever descent group, [15]
We pray for long life, trusting that you are intimate.
