Part 3 — CHAPTER CXXXV.

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

Another chapter recited when the Moon renews itself on the first day of the month.

Osiris is enveloped in storm and rain: he is enveloped: but the fair Horus lendeth succour daily, the Lord of high attributes . . . (1) he driveth off the storm from the face of the Osiris N.

Behold him coming: he is Rā on his journey: he is the four gods who are over the upper region.

The Osiris N arriveth at his own time: and by means of his lines is brought to the light of day.

270If this chapter be known he becometh a Chu of Might in the Netherworld; he dieth not a second time, in the Netherworld; but he eateth by the side of Osiris.

If it be known upon earth he will become like Thoth, so as to be worshipped by the living: he will not fall a victim to a king’s wrath(2) or to the fierce heat of Basit, but will be made to advance to a most blissful old age.
