Thou art beautiful, O Ra, each day, and thy mother Nut embraceth thee;
thou settest in beauty, and thy heart is glad in the horizon of Manu, and
the holy beings therein rejoice. Thou shinest there with thy beams, O thou
great god, Osiris, the everlasting Prince. The lords of the zones of the
Tuat in their caverns stretch out their hands in adoration before thy _Ka_
(double), and they cry out to thee, and they all come forth in the train
of thy form shining brilliantly. The hearts of the lords of the Tuat
(underworld) are glad when thou sendest forth thy glorious light in
Amentet; their two eyes are directed toward thee, and they press forward
to see thee, and their hearts rejoice when they do see thee. Thou
hearkenest unto the acclamations of those that are in the funeral
chest,(15) thou doest away with their helplessness and drivest away the
evils which are about them. Thou givest breath to their nostrils and they
take hold of the bows of thy bark in the horizon of Manu. Thou art
beautiful each day, O Ra, and may thy mother Nut embrace Osiris ...,(16)

enemies, for he hath ordained for thee the two lands to their utmost
limits. Atem hath [also] ordained this, and the company of the gods hath
confirmed the splendid power of the victory of Horus the son of Isis and
the son of Osiris forever and forever. And Osiris Auf-ankh shall be

northern and southern parts of the heavens, and every god and every
goddess, who are in heaven and who are upon earth [will] the victory of
Horus, the son of Isis and the son of Osiris, over his enemies in the
presence of Osiris-khent-Amentet who will make Osiris Auf-ankh,
