o thee, I array myself in apparel, and
I have guarded myself with the _Sa_ garment of R[=a]; now behold, he
is in heaven, and those who dwell therein follow him, and I also
follow R[=a] in heaven, O Unen-em-hetep, lord of the two lands, I have
entered into thee, and I have plunged into the lakes of Tohesert;
behold me now, for all uncleanness hath departed from me. The Great
God groweth therein, and behold, I have found [food therein]; I have
snared feathered fowl and I feed upon, the finest of them."
"O Qenqentet, [Footnote: The name of a lake in the first section, of
Sekhet-Aaru.] I have entered into thee, and I have seen, the Osiris
[my father], and I have gazed upon my mother, and I have made love. I
have captured the worms and serpents [which are there] and have
delivered myself. I know the name of the god who is opposite to the
goddess Tohesert, who hath straight hair and is provided with horns;
he reapeth, but I both plough and reap."
"O Hast, [Footnote: The name of a lake in the third section of
Sekhet-Aaru.] I have entered into thee, and I have driven back those
who would come to the turquoise [sky]; and I have followed the winds
of the company of the gods. The Great God hath given my head unto me,
and he who hath bound on me my head is the Mighty One with the eyes of
turquoise, that is to say, Ari-en-ab-f (_i.e._, He who doeth as he
pleaseth)."
"O Usert, [Footnote: The name of a lake in the third section of
Sekhet-Aaru.] I have come unto thee at the house where the divine food
is brought unto me."
"O Smam, [Footnote: The name of a lake in the third section of
Sekhet-Aaru.] I have come unto thee. My heart watcheth, and I am
provided with the white crown. I am led into celestial regions, and I
make the things of earth to flourish; and there is joy of heart for
the Bull, and for celestial beings, and for the company of the gods. I
am the god who is the Bull, the lord of the gods as he goeth forth
from the turquoise [sky]."
"O divine nome of wheat and barley, I have come unto thee, I have come
forward to thee, and I have taken up that which followeth me, namely,
the best of the libations of the company of the gods. I have tied my
boat in the celestial lakes, I have lifted up the post at which to
anchor, I have recited the prescribed words with my voice, and I have
ascribed praises unto the gods who dwell in Sekhet-hetep."
