Note 4 — Chapter XVII
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
The earliest texts have either ‘speak,’ or ‘command.’ The meaning is the same in both readings. Strife arose among the gods at the bidding of Râ: that is every force in nature 45began its appropriate career of activity, necessarily coming into contact and conflict with the other forces. And of all this collision the first cause, the origin of all activity and motion, is the Sun.
