and makes kings of countries come down to become nothing.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “He causes rulers to become useless,
and the rulers who live on earth, he brings down, by making them nothing.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “He takes-away the power of the leaders/[lit. heads] in the world and treated- them -as-no value.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

and I will never change what I have said:
Some day, everyone will bow in front of me,
and they will all solemnly promise to be loyal to me.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
