Part 3 — CHAPTER CXXXVIIA.

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

Chapter whereby a Light is kindled(1) for a person.

Oh Light! let the Light be kindled for thy Ka, O Osiris Chentamenta. Let the Light be kindled for the Night which followeth the Day: the Eye of Horus which riseth at thy temple(2): which riseth up(3) over thee and which gathereth upon thy brow; which granteth thee its protection and overthroweth thine enemies.

Undefiledly (bis) and successfully (bis):

The light is kindled for Osiris Unnefer: with fresh vases and raiment like the Dawn.
