'Go with me thither, he said to Covan, 'and you shall lay aside three-thirds of your weariness, and depart in the morning refreshed, and Covan listened thankfully to his words, and at dawn he rose up to seek his cows.

Then Yima stepped forward, in light, southwards, on the way of the sun, and afterwards he pressed the earth with the golden seal, and bored it with the poniard, speaking thus: 'O Spenta Ârmaiti, kindly open asunder and stretch thyself afar, to bear flocks and herds and men. And Yima made the earth grow larger by three-thirds than it was before, and there came flocks and herds and men, at their will and wish, as many as he wished."
