hral meals, and incense, and wax, and all
the beautiful and pure things whereon the god liveth, in very deed forever
in all the transformations which it pleaseth me [to perform]; and grant me
the power to float down and to sail up the stream in Sekhet-Aarru [and may
I reach Sekhet-hetep!]. I am the double Lion-god."

IF THIS CHAPTER(48) BE KNOWN [BY THE DECEASED] UPON EARTH, [OR IF IT BE
DONE] IN WRITING UPON [HIS] COFFIN, HE SHALL COME FORTH BY DAY IN ALL THE
FORMS WHICH HE IS PLEASED [TO TAKE], AND HE SHALL ENTER IN TO [HIS] PLACE
AND SHALL NOT BE DRIVEN BACK. AND CAKES, AND ALE, AND JOINTS OF MEAT UPON
THE ALTAR OF OSIRIS SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO HIM; AND HE SHALL ENTER IN PEACE
INTO SEKHET-AARRU TO KNOW THE DECREE OF HIM WHO DWELLETH IN TATTU; THERE
SHALL WHEAT AND BARLEY BE GIVEN UNTO HIM; THERE SHALL HE FLOURISH AS HE
DID UPON EARTH; AND HE SHALL DO WHATSOEVER IT PLEASETH HIM TO DO, EVEN AS
THE COMPANY OF THE GODS WHICH IS IN THE UNDERWORLD, CONTINUALLY, AND
REGULARLY, FOR MILLIONS OF TIMES.

Of Lifting Up The Feet

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 6).]

THE CHAPTER OF LIFTING UP THE FEET AND OF COMING FORTH UPON THE EARTH. The
chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

"Perform thy work, O Seker, perform thy work, O Seker, O thou [who

underworld! I am the god who sendeth forth rays of light over the Thigh of

but I go forward. I have become helpless, I have become helpless in the
regions of those who plunder in the underworld."

THEREIN. The chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

"I have come forth from the uttermost parts of the earth, and [I have]
received my apparel(?) at the will(?) of the Ape. I penetrate into the
holy habitations of those who are in [their] shrines (or coffins), I force
my way through the habitations of the god Remren, and I arrive in the
habitations of the god Akhsesef, I travel on through the holy chambers,
and I pass into the Temple of the god Kemken. The Buckle hath been given
unto me, it [hath placed] its hands upon me, it hath decreed [to my
service] its sister Khebent,
