th proceedeth from him, it hath obtained it by prayer
from him.
I have had granted to it and awarded to it, the glow of heart at
the hour of the god of the Broad Face, and have offered the
sacrificial cakes in Hermopolis.
Let not this Whole Heart of mine be torn from me.[G] It is I who
entrust to you its place, and vehemently stir your Whole Heart
towards it in Sechit-hotepit and the years of triumph over all
that it abhors, and taking all provisions at thine appointed
time from thine hand after thee.
And this Whole Heart of mine is laid upon the tablets of Tmu,
who guideth me to the caverns of Sutu and who giveth me back my
Whole Heart which hath accomplished its desire in (the) presence
of the Divine Circle which is in the Netherworld.
The sacrificial joint and the funereal raiment, let those who
find them bury them.

violence this Whole Heart of mine, of the Living.[I] The gods

together, upon their own earth.[J]

Heart mine which is that of my Mother, Whole Heart mine which

Let there be no estoppel against me through evidence; let not

fall of the Scale[L] against me in (the) presence of the great
god, Lord of Amenta
