1128 To say: It is certainly not N. who asks to see thee 1128 in the form which has become thine; 1128 Osiris asks to see thee in the form which has become thine; 1129 it is thy son who asks to see thee in the form which has become thine; 1129 it is Horus who asks to see thee in the form which has become thine. 1130 When thou sayest, "statues", in respect to these stones, 1130 which are like fledglings of swallows under the river-bank; 1130 when thou sayest, "his beloved son is coming," in the form which had become that of "his beloved son" 1131 they (the "statues") transport Horus; they row Horus over, 1131 as Horus ascends (lit. in. the ascent of Horus) in the Mt-wr.tcow. 1132 The double doors of heaven are open, the double doors of b.w are open for Horus of the East, 1132 at day-break, that he may descend and purify himself in the Marsh of Reeds. 1133 The double doors of heaven are open, the double doors of b.w are open for N., 1133 at daybreak, that N. may descend and purify himself in the Marsh of Reeds. 1134 The double doors of heaven are open, the double doors of b.w are open for Horus of the D.t, 1134 at daybreak, that he may descend and purify himself in the Marsh of Reeds. 1135 The double doors of heaven are open, the double doors of b.w are open for N., 1135 at daybreak, that be may descend and purify himself in the Marsh of Reeds. 1136 The double doors of heaven are open, the double doors of b.w are open for Horus. of the Ssm.t-land, 1136 at daybreak, that he may descend and purify himself in the Marsh of Reeds. 1137 The double doors of heaven are open, the double doors of b.w are open for N., 1137 at daybreak, that N. may descend and purify himself in the Marsh of Reeds. 1138 The ground is hoed for him; the wdn.t-offering is made for him, 1138 when he dawns as king and takes charge of his throne. 1138 He ferries over the ptr.ti-sea; 1138 he traverses the Winding Watercourse. 1139 'Imt.t lays hold of the arm of N., 1139 beginning with her chapel, beginning with her hidden place, which the god made for her, 1139 for N. is pure (a priest), the son of a pure one (a priest). 1140 N. is purified with these four nm.t-jars, 1140 filled at the divine-lake in Ntr.w; 1140 (he is dried) by the wind of the great Isis, together with (which) the great Isis dried (him) like Horus. 1141 Let him come, he is pure, 1141 so said the priest of R` concerning N. to the door-keeper of b.w, 1141 (who) was to announce him to these four gods, who are over the lake of Kns.t. 1142 They recite: "How just is N. to his father, Geb!" 1142 They recite: "How just is N. to R`! " 1142 His frontiers exist not; his boundary stones are not to be found. 1142 Also, Geb, whose (one) arm (reaches) to heaven, whose (other) arm is on earth, 1142 announces N. to R`. 1143 N. leads the gods; N. directs the divine boat; 1143 N. seizes heaven, its pillars and its stars. 1144 The gods come to him bowing; 1144 the spirits escort N. to his ba; 1144 they reckon (gather up) their war-clubs; 1144 they destroy their weapons; 1145 for behold N. is a great one, the son of a great one, whom Nut has borne; 1145 the power of N. is the power of Set of Ombos. 1145 This N. is the great wild-bull, who comes forth like nti'imnti.w. 1146 N. is the pouring down of rain; he came forth as the coming into being of water; 1146 for he is the Nb-k.w-serpent with the many coils; 1146 N. is the scribe of the divine book, who says what is and causes to exist what is not; 1147 N. is the red bandage, who comes forth from the great 'I.t; 1147 N. is that eye of Horus, 1147 stronger than men, mightier than the gods. 1148 Horus carries N., Set lifts him up. 1148 Let N. make an offering which a star gives; 1148 he satisfies the two gods, let them be satisfied; he satisfies the two gods, and so they are satisfied.
