The daughter of the warrior, the bride of the young man, Anu listened to their complaints, and (the gods) called out to Aruru: "it was you, Aruru, who created mankind(?), now create a zikru to it/him. Let him be equal to his (Gilgamesh's) stormy heart, let them be a match for each other so that Uruk may find peace! When Aruru heard this she created within herself the zikrtt of Anu.

(553) 1353 To say: Geb has raised thee up; this thy spirit has been guarded for thee. 1353 Thy mns-jar remains; thy mns-jar is caused to remain. 1353 Thou art more exalted than Shu and Tefnut in the house of tmw.t (the destroyer), N., 1354 for thou art verily a spirit who wast nursed by Nephthys with her left breast. 1354 Osiris has given to thee the spirits; take the eye of Horus to thee. 1355 These thy four ways which are before the grave of Horus 1355 are those whereon one goes (lit. goes a going) to the god as soon as the sun sets (or, as far as the setting of the sun). 1356 He takes hold of thine arm, after Seker, chief of Pdw-s purified thee, 1356 (and he conducted thee) to thy throne which is in b.w. 1357 Raise thyself up, spirit of N.; sit, eat thou; 1357 let thy ka be seated, that he may eat bread and beer with thee without ceasing for ever and ever. 1358 Thy going is as a representative of Osiris; 1358 thy feet hit thine arms; 1358 they bring thee to thy feasts, 1358 to thy white teeth, (to) thy fingernails, (to) the Dw.f-nome. 1359 Thou ferriest over as the great bull to the green fields, 1359 to the pure places of R`. 1360 Raise thyself up, spirit of N.; thy water belongs to thee, thine abundance belongs to thee; 1360 thine efflux belongs to thee, which issued from the secretion of Osiris. 1361 The double doors of heaven are open for thee; the double doors of b.w are undone for thee; 1361 the double doors of the tomb are open for thee; the double doors of Nut are unfastened for thee. 1362 "Greeting," says Isis; "ferry on in peace," says Nephthys, 1362 after she had seen thy father, Osiris, on the day of the mm.tfeast (or, of feasting him who is in need ?). 1362 Elevated is the ddb.t-chapel of the double 'itr.t-palace of the North, thy Grg.w-b. 1363 Raise thyself up; shake off thy dust; 1363 remove the dirt which is on thy face; loose thy bandages. 1363 They are indeed not bandages; they are the locks of Nephthys. 13 64 Travel over the southern regions; travel over the northern regions; 1364 be seated on thy firm throne. 1364 Anubis, who is chief of the s-ntr, commands that thy spirit be behind thee, that thy might be in thy body, 1364 that thou remain Chief of the mighty ones (or, spirits). 1365 Thou purifiest thyself with these thy four nm.t-jars, 1365 (with) the spn.t and `t-jar, which come from the s-ntr for thee, that thou mayest become divine. 1365 The sky weeps for thee; the earth trembles for thee; 1366 the mnt.t-woman laments for thee; the great min.t mourns for thee; 1366 the feet agitate for thee; the hands wave for thee, 1366 when thou ascendest to heaven as a star, as the morning star. 1367 N. is come to thee, his father; he is come to thee, Geb; 1367 he is united with your dead, O gods. 1367 Let him sit on the great throne, on the lap of his father Mnti'irti; 1368 let him purify his mouth with incense and natron; let him purify his nails upper and lower. 1368 Let one do for him what was done for his father, Osiris, on the day of assembling the bones, 1368 of making firm (or, adjusting) the sandals, of crossing the feet (i.e. when ferrying over). 1369 To thee come the wise and the understanding; 1369 to thee comes the southern 'itr.t-palace, 1369 to thee comes the northern 'itr.t-palace, with a salutation, 1369 (thou) who endurest eternally at the head of the mighty ones. 31.
