e in the North;
They open not to those who are in the South;
They open not to those who are in the middle of the earth;
But they open to Horus.

He it was who made them, he it was who made them stand [firm], he it was
who delivered them from every evil attack which the god Set made upon
them. He it was who made thee to be a settled country in this thy name
of "Kerkut." He it was who passed bowing after thee in thy name of
"Nut." He it was who delivered thee from every evil attack which Set
made upon thee (Pepi II, ll. 767-774.)

IV. The following passages describe the power of the king in heaven, and
his felicity there:

"The sky hath withdrawn the life of the star Septet (Sothis, the
Dog-star); behold Unas a living being, the son of Septet. The Eighteen
Gods have purified him in Meskha (the Great Bear), [he is] an
imperishable star. The house of Unas perisheth not in the sky, the
throne of Unas perisheth not on the earth. Men make supplication
[there], the gods fly [thither]. Septet hath made Unas fly to heaven to
be with his brethren the gods. Nut,[1] the Great Lady, hath unfolded her
arms to Unas. She hath made them into two divine souls at the head of
the Souls of Anu, under the head of Ra. She made them two weeping women
when thou wast on thy bier (?). The throne of Unas is by thee, Ra, he
yieldeth it not up to anyone else. Unas cometh forth into heaven by
thee, Ra. The face of Unas is like the [faces of the] Hawks. The wings
of Unas are like [those of] geese. The nails of Unas are like the claws
of the god Tuf. There is no [evil] word concerning Unas on earth among
men. There is no hostile speech about him with the gods. Unas hath
destroyed his word, he hath ascended to heaven. Upuatu hath made Unas
fly up to heaven among his brethren the gods. Unas hath drawn together
his arms like the Smen goose, he striketh his wings like a falcon,
flying, flying. O men, Unas flieth up into heaven.

"O ye gods of the West, O ye gods of the East, O ye gods of the South, O
ye gods of the North, ye four groups who embrace the holy lands, devote
ye yourselves to Osiris when he appeareth in heaven. He shall sail into
the Sky, with his son Horus by his fingers. He shall announce him, he
shall make him rise up like the Great God in the Sky. They shall cry out
concerning Unas: Behold Horus, the son
