Spell 168 (part III) Lyrics


The gods of the tenth cavern of the Netherworld, who cry aloud and whose mysteries are holy.

Those who belong in the sunshine. May they give light to N in darkness. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who worships the Great God in his place every day.

Those who take hold. May they grant that N be acclaimed. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, on the day of driving off the great encircling serpent.

The Nine Gods who guard those who are in (the cavern). May they grant the breath of life to N on earth and in the realm of the dead. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, whose hand is extended and who repels him who comes.

The Nine Gods whose arms are hidden. May they grant that N be a spirit like the worth spirits. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, whose head is hale on earth and in the realm of the dead.

The Hidden Goddess. May she grant that N's soul be strong and his corpse intact like the gods who are in the Netherworld. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N; may his soul rest in the place where it desires to be.

The souls of the gods who have become the members of Osiris. May they grant that N have peace. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who receives his place on earth and in the realm of the dead.

Those who worship Re. N shall not be driven off from any of the portals of the Netherworld. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N when he goes out into the day and is cool in the cool-place.

Those whose faces are warlike. May they grant that N be cool in the place of heat. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N; may he sit in front in the presence of the Great God.
