118. The Litter replied: I am a person of whom the little ones may well make their bodies.
119. I am a god who has power to resist death.
120. When the little ones make of me their bodies,
121. They also shall have power to resist death, as they travel the path of life.

128. There is not one who can stand in my way to prevent my going.

133. When the little ones make of me their bodies,
