12. Protected by the nectar of your resolve, I was not struck by the forceful shower of spears, just like Aja, whose body is like a thunderbolt. Immersing myself in you, a nearby river of love, within the sanctuary of my heart, I did not experience those pains, even when vital points were severely wounded.

12. כשעטאתי שריון העשוי משיקוי האלמוות של מחשבותייך עלייך, מטר הרומחים החד שזע בעוצמה לא לפף אותי, בדיוק כפי שגופו של המלך אַגַ'ה לא נסדק מיהלום. בעודני צולל אל נהר האהבה הבלתי נדלה של נוכחותך בבית לבבי, לא הרגשתי כלל את הכאבים העזים הללו, אף שהם פלחו את איבריי החיוניים.
