Chapter CIX

C1hapter whereby one knoweth the Powers of the East.

2I know that Eastern Gate of Heaven (the South of it is by the lake of Cha-ru, and the north of it by the stream of Reu), from whence Rā saileth with favouring gales.

3I am the Teller in the divine ship: I am the unresting navigator in the Bark of Rā.

4I know those two Sycomores of Emerald between which Rā cometh forth, as he advanceth over what Shu hath lifted up, to every gate through which he proceedeth.

5I know the Garden of Aarru: the wall of it is of steel. The wheat of it is of 7 cubits, the ears of it of 2 cubits, the stalk of it of 4 cubits. The barley of it is of 7 cubits, and the ears are of 4 cubits, and the stalk of 3 cubits.

6It is the glorified ones, each of whom is 9 cubits in height, who reap them, in presence of the Powers of the East.

7I know the Powers of the East: Horus of the Solar Mount, the Calf in presence of the God, and the Star of Dawn.

8A divine Domain hath been constructed for me; I know the name of it; the name of it is the garden of Aarru.
