C1hapter of landing and not being obscured, so that the body may prosper in drinking water.

2O the very high one, the great one,

3Amen, Amen, the lion Kasapa,

4The first-born of the gods on the East of the sky.

5Amon of the Takruti,

6Amon who hides his colours, whose forms are mysterious, and who is master of the horns of Horus,

7The great one of Nut.

8Kaarki is thy name,

9Kasaka is thy name,

10The Sphinx is thy name,

11Kasabaka is thy name.

12Amon of the Ankak Takashar, Amon the sphinx is thy name. O Amon! I implore thee. Behold, I know thy name; thy forms are in my mouth, and thy colours in my eyes.

13Come towards thy offspring, thy form, Osiris N. Bring him towards the gate of eternity, grant him to rest in the Tuat; that his flesh may be entire in the Netherworld; that his soul may be powerful, that his body may be complete, that he may be free from the society of the wicked one, that he may never be fettered.

14I implore thy name, and thou art a shield for me; for thou believest that I know thee.

15O great one, great one,

16Amon (the hidden one) is thy name,

17Rukashaka is thy name,

18Thou art for me a shield.

19Baarkai is thy name,

20Markata is thy name,

21The Sphinx is thy name,

22Nasakabuba is thy name,

23Tanasasa is thy name,

24Sharshatakata is thy name.

25Amon, Amon, O God, O God, Amon.

26I implore thy name, and as I have given thee to understand (that I know thee), grant me to rest in the Tuat, and that all my limbs be reunited.

27Said by the Spirit which is in Nut: I am doing, I am doing all thou hast said.

28Said on the figure with raised arm. There are plumes on its head; its legs are apart; its torso is a scarab. It is painted in blue with liquid gum.

29Said also on a figure the middle part of which is that of a man; his arms are hanging down. The head of a ram is on his right shoulder, and another on his left shoulder. Thou wilt paint on one bandage the two figures of the god with raised arm, and put it across the chest of the deceased, so that the two painted figures may be on his breast.

30He to whom this has been done, the impure ones in the Tuat can do nothing to him. He drinks the running water of the stream, he shines like a star in the sky.
