After I had sung this, everyone became filled with faith and respect. The sun shone upon the clouds, a rainbow appeared, and a fine rain fell gently. At this moment, a turquoise dragon alighted on the ground, drank some water, and rose again into the sky with roars of thunder. Everyone watched and said "Extraordinary!" Some elders added: "We heard the rumbling of the turquoise dragon filling the sky, but we never thought we would see this dragon itself. This year, it alit on the ground and we saw it. We heard the fame of this Precious Protector resounding throughout To and sunny U-Tsang like dragon's thunder, but we never thought we would ever meet him. This year he came to our place and we met him. If this is not good fortune, what is? In this life nothing better could happen to us!"
