- Adapted from an English translation of the Akkadian version, from Tablet VI.
Istar käenama Torminä, Anu, käenamast kee:
"Tormitä, lahetu tarvas vilyain,
nukkestina Kiilgame, kee saa ëksanä.
laheestilyakatust tarvas vilyain,
üga pakkate Mandoin Süüra
ügast haudante mandotarvasid
ügast lantalasse' mandoin
ügast kevate elennain vastaan vaa tundusin lennain,
ügast maganänanun!
puuliestinän elennain lennain!
Istar spoke father-her, Anu, spoke-and she:
"Father-mine, give-me bull heavens,
