The Gods of Pegana
Before there stood gods upon Olympus, or ever Allah was
Allah, had wrought and rested MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI.
There are in Pegana -- Mung and Sish and Kib, and the
maker of all small gods, who is MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI. Moreover,
we have a faith in Roon and Slid.
And it has been said of old that all things that have
been were wrought by the small gods, excepting only
MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI, who made the gods and hath thereafter
rested.
And none may pray to MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI but only the gods
whom he hath made.
But at the Last will MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI forget to rest, and
will make again new gods and other worlds, and will destroy
the gods whom he hath made.
And the gods and the worlds shall depart, and there shall
be only MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI.
