Note 7 — Chapter CLIV · The Chapter of not letting the body decay(1) in the Netherworld.

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

The eye of Shu is either an amulet or a magic power residing 325in some part of the body, which prevents it from becoming worms. It is the defence against corruption. Further the deceased says: “I do not become worms; I do not lose the eye of Shu.”
