CHAPTER CII.
Project Gutenberg EPUB edition
Renouf, P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) and Naville, Edouard
Chapter whereby one entereth into the Bark of Rā.
O Great One in thy Bark, let me be lifted into thy Bark. Let me make head for thy staircase. Let me have charge of those who convey thee, who are attached to thee, who are of the Stars which never set.
That which I abominate, I eat not: and that which I abominate is Dirt, let me not eat of it, but of peace offerings and of Ka-offerings, by which I shall not be upset.
Let me not approach it with my hands, let me not tread upon it with my sandals, because my bread is of the white corn and my beer of the red corn of the Nile.
It is the Sektit boat and the Āātit which have brought me to the food and raiment which are upon the altar of the Spirits of Annu.
Salutation to thee, Ur-ar-set, in that voyage of heaven and the disaster in Tennu, when those dogs were gathered together, not without giving voice.
I have come myself and delivered the god from that pain and suffering, that was in trunk, in shoulder and in leg.
I have come and healed(1) the trunk, and fastened the shoulder and made firm the leg.
And I embark for the voyage of Rā.
Note.
1.Healed. Such is the meaning of , as in chapter 147, 17, and Unas 214, no less than in a passage which does not occur in the most ancient texts of chapter 17, but which is found in the papyri and is derived from the early traditions. Thoth healed the face of Horus.
