s) grant
such gifts unto me when my tears start from me as I look on. 'I know the
abysses' is thy name. [I] work for [you], O ye _Khu_s, who are in number
[four] millions, [six] hundred, and 1,000, and 200, and they are [in
height] twelve cubits. [Ye] travel on joining the hands, each to each, but
the sixth [hour], which belongeth at the head of the Tuat (underworld), is
the hour of the overthrow of the Fiend. [I] have come there in triumph,
and [I am] he who is in the hall (or courtyard) of the Tuat; and the
seven(?) come in his manifestations. The strength which protecteth me is
that which hath my _Khu_ under its protection, [that is] the blood, and
the cool water, and the slaughterings which abound(?). I open [a way
among] the horns of all those who would do harm unto me, who keep
themselves hidden, who make themselves adversaries unto me, and those who
are upon their bellies. The Eye shall not eat (or absorb) the tears of the
goddess Aukert. Hail, goddess Aukert, open thou unto me the enclosed
place, and grant thou unto me pleasant roads whereupon I may travel. Who
art thou, then, who consumest in the hidden places? I am the Chief in
Re-stau, and [I] go in and come forth in my name of 'Hehi, the lord of
millions of years [and of] the earth'; [I am] the maker of my name. The
pregnant one hath deposited [upon the earth] her load. The door by the
wall is shut fast, and the things of terror are overturned and thrown down
upon the backbone(?) of the _Bennu_ bird by the two _Samait_ goddesses. To
the Mighty One hath his Eye been given, and his face emitteth light when
[he] illumineth the earth, [my name is his name].(41) I shall not become
corrupt, but I shall come into being in the form of the Lion-god; the
blossoms of Shu shall be in me. I am he who is never overwhelmed in the
waters. Happy, yea happy, is the funeral couch of the Still-heart; he
maketh himself to alight upon the pool(?), and verily he cometh forth
[therefrom]. I am the lord of my life. I have come to this [place], and I
have come forth from Re-aa-urt the city of Osiris. Verily the things which
are thine are with the _Sariu_ deities. I have clasped the sycamore tree
and I have divided(?) it; I have opened a way for myself [among] the
_Sekhiu_ gods of the Tuat. I have come to see him that dwelleth in his
divine uraeus, face to face and eye to eye, and [I] draw to myself the
winds [which rise] when he cometh forth. My two eyes(?) are weak in my
face, O Lion[
