Huge thanks to Villa for proving us his translation as we were all offline at the time this card was posted. He also explains:

The “Á Bao A Qu” is a creature that lives dormant at the steps of the spiral staircase of the Tower of Victory, seeking to become whole atop the tower’s balcony at the end of the stairs, it follows travelers in their pilgrimage. Described in the book “Book of Imaginary Beings” (1957) authored by Jorge Luis Borges and Margarita Guerrero.
