Chapter XXXVIII

1hapter whereby one liveth by the breath of air in the Netherworld, and keepeth back Merta.

2I am the god in Lion form; the heir of Râ and Tmu in Chemmis, the Master in their halls.

3Those who are in their cells accompany me as guides. I have made my way and gone round the heavenly Ocean on the path of the Bark of Râ, and standing on the girders of the Bark of Râ.

4I utter his words to the men of the present generation and I repeat his words to him who is deprived of breath.

5I spy out for my father Râ at sunset, compressing my mouth, and feeding upon life.

6I live in Tattu, and I repeat my life after death like the Sun daily.
