(25) [Instructions to the Officiant]: Yet, again, it may be possible that because of the influence of bad karma one will not recognize even thus. Therefore, call the deceased by name, and speak as follows: O nobly-born, (so-and-so), listen. That thou art suffering so cometh from thine own karma; it is not due to any one else's: it is by thine own karma. Accordingly, pray earnestly to the Precious Trinity; that will protect thee. If thou neither prayest nor knowest how to meditate upon the Great Symbol nor upon any tutelary deity, the Good Genius, who was born simultaneously with thee, will come now and count out thy good deeds [with] white pebbles, and the Evil Genius, who was born simultaneously with thee, will come and count out thy evil deeds [with] black pebbles. Thereupon, thou wilt be greatly frightened, awed, and terrified, and wilt tremble; and thou wilt attempt to tell lies, saying, 'I have not committed any evil deed'.

(683) 2047 To say: Behold, this, is what they said to N., what the gods said to N. 2047 The word of the gods is fallen upon N.: 2047 "It is Horus, who comes forth from the Nile; it is the bull, which comes forth from the fortress; 2047 it is the d.t-serpent which comes forth from R`; it is the 'i`r.tserpent which comes forth from Set. 2048 Everything which will happen to N. happens likewise to Mdd.t'it, 2048 daughter of R`, who is on his two legs; 2048 everything which happens to N. happens likewise to Md, 2048 daughter of R`, who is on his two legs, 2049. for N. is Wd, son of Wd, who comes forth from Wd-t. 2050 N. is intact; N. is intact; (as true as) the eye of Horus is intact in Heliopolis; 2050 N. lives; N. lives; (as true as) the eye of Horus lives in Heliopolis." 55. THE DECEASED KING ASCENDS TO HEAVEN,

(2) So saying, [the reader will] impress it. If [the deceased be] of the common folk, say, Meditate upon the Great Compassionate Lord.

(26) [Instructions to the Officiant]: Say that; for by such setting-face-to-face, despite the previous non- liberation, liberation ought surely to be obtained here. Possible, [however,] liberation may not be obtained even after that setting-face-to-face; and earnest and continued application being essential, again calling the deceased by name, speak as follows: O nobly-born, thy immediate experiences will be of momentary joys followed by momentary sorrows, of great intensity, like the [taut and relaxed] mechanical actions of catapults. Be not in the least attached [to the joys] nor displeased [by the sorrows] of that.

(1) In the setting-face-to-face, the repetition [of the above address to the deceased] is to be persisted in until a yellowish liquid beginneth to appear from the various apertures of the bodily organs [of the deceased].

(513) 1168 To say: When father N. ascends to heaven among the gods who are in heaven; 1168 and when he stands by the great w`r.t; 1168 he hears the words of the blessed dead 1169 R` finds thee on the shores (or, lands) of the sky, in the ntiocean, in Nut. 1169 "He comes, who should come," say the gods. 1170 He gives thee his arm on (at) the 'iskn of the sky. 1170 "He comes who knows his place," say the gods. 1171 Pure one, assume thy throne in the boat of R`, 1171 that thou mayest sail the sky, that thou mayest mount above the ways (or, the far-off ways); 1171 that thou mayest sail with the imperishable stars; 1171 and that thou mayest voyage with the indefatigable (stars). 1172 Thou receivest the tribute of the evening boat; 1172 thou becomest a spirit in the D.t; 1172 thou livest in this sweet life in which the lord of the horizon lives. 1173 "Great Flood dwelling in Nut, who indeed has done this for thee?", 1173 say the gods who follow Atum. 1174 A greater than he hath done that for him, he who is north of the nti-ocean of Nut. 1174 He has heard his appeal; 'he has done for him what he said. 1174 He has received his, body in the court of the prince of Nun, 1174 before the Great Ennead.

(9) The setting-face-to-face for that is, calling the deceased by name, thus: O nobly-born, until yesterday each of the Five Orders of Deities had shone upon thee, one by one; and thou hadst been set face to face, but, owing to the influence of thine evil propensities, thou wert awed and terrified by them and hast remained here till now.

(609) 1703 To say: N., thy mother Nut has given birth to thee in the West; 1703 thou hast descended in the West in company with the lord of veneration (?); 1703 thy mother Isis has given birth to thee at Chemmis; 1703 thy hand which is (full of) the north wind takes (Possession) of thee 1703 overflowing thee, behind the north wind, father N. 1704 The Lake of Reeds is full; the Winding Watercourse is inundated; 1704 the mn`-canal of N. is open, 1704 whereby he may ferry over to the horizon, to the place where the gods will be born, 1704 and where thou wilt be born with them. 1705 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for R`, 1705 that he may ferry over therewith to the horizon to the place where the gods will be born, 1705 and where he will be born with them. 1706 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for N., 1706 that he may ferry over therewith to the horizon to the place where they will be born, 1706 and where he will be born with them. 1707 Thy sister is Sothis; thy mother (bearer) is the morning star; 1707 thou sittest between them on the great throne, 1707 which is at the side of the Two Enneads. 1708 Behold, let these four dwellers of the region (or, height) be brought, 1708 who sit upon their d`b-sceptres, who come forth on (or, from) the eastern side of the sky, 1708 that they may proclaim this thy goodly utterance to Nb-k.w, 1708 which thy daughter, (m.t), said to thee, and 1708 Nb-k.w shall proclaim this thy goodly utterance 1708 to the Two Enneads. 1709 It is Hpnti, he who lays hold of thy hand when thou descendest into the boat of R`, 1709 descending into the boat with an offering which the king gives; descending and ferrying over. 45. THE DECEASED KING ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN

(619) 1747 To say: Raise thyself up, N.; raise thyself up, great nw; 1747 raise thyself up from (lit. on) thy left side, place thyself on thy right side. 1748 Wash thy hands with this fresh water which I have given thee, my (lit. thy) father Osiris. 1748 I have tilled the barley; I have reaped the spelt, 1748 with which I made (an offering) for thy feasts, which the First of the Westerners offered for thee. 1749 Thy face is like that of a jackal; thy heart is like that of, b.t, thy seat is like that of a broad-hall. 1749 A stairway to heaven is built (for thee), that thou mayest ascend. 1750 Thou judgest between the two great gods, 1750 who support the Two Enneads. 1750 Isis weeps for thee; Nephthys calls thee; 1751 as for 'Imt.t she sits at the feet of thy throne. 1751 Thou seizest thy two oars 1751 of which one is of pine, the other of id; 1752 thou ferriest over the lake of thy house, the sea; 1752 and thou avengest thyself against him who did this against thee. 1752 O, Ho, may the great lake protect thee!

(13) 'Thou knowest, O Death, the fire-sacrifice which leads us to heaven; tell it to me, for I am full of faith. Those who live in the heaven-world reach immortality,--this I ask as my second boon.'

(675) 2000 To say: O N., "come in peace," says Osiris to thee; 2000 messenger of the Great God, "come in peace," says the Great God to thee. 2001 The double doors of heaven are open for thee; the (double doors of the) d.w-stars are open for thee, 2001 after thou art descended (into the grave) as the jackal of Upper Egypt, 2001 as Anubis on his belly (side), as Hpi.w who resides in Heliopolis. 2002 The great damsel who lives in Heliopolis has given her arm to thee. 2002 O N., thou hast [no] father, among men, who conceived thee; 2002 thou hast no mother, among mankind, who bore thee. 2003 Thy mother is the great wild-cow who lives in el-K�b, 2003 the white crown, the royal head-dress, she with the long feathers (hair?), she with the two hanging breasts, 2003 she will nurse thee; she will not wean thee. 2004 Raise thyself up, N., dress thyself in thy fringed-vestment, the first (best) in the house, 2004 thy d-mace on thine arm, thy Horus-weapon (m) in thy hand, thine m-sceptre on thine arm, thy d-mace in thy hand. 2005 Thou standest as he who is chief of the double 'itr.t-palace, who, judges the words of the gods. 2005 O N., thou belongest to the n.w (-stars), when R` shines behind the morning star. 2006 Lo, no god escapes from what he has said; 2006 he will offer thee thy thousand (loaves) of bread, thy thou sand (mugs) of beer, thy thousand of oxen, thy thousand of geese, 2006 thy thousand of everything on which a god lives. 53. RESURRECTION, TRANSFIGURATION, AND LIFE OF THE KING IN HEAVEN,

(658) 1853. [To say]: ---------------------------------- 1854 The gods [caused] thee to prosper; they love thee. 1854b (N. VII 580). The gods wish these things for thee in thy name of "Ceaseless." 1854 thou hast done ----------------- 1855 [He quakes under thee] as the quaking of the earth; he does not escape thee. 1855 O, thou art more exalted I than he, in thy name of "He of the exalted land"]. 1855c (N. 581).

(5) Now the third life - Man, after the image of the Cosmos made, [and] having mind, after the Father's will, beyond all earthly lives - not only doth have feeling with the second God , but also hath conception of the first; for of the one 'tis sensible as of a body, while of the other it conceives as bodiless and the Good Mind. Tat: Doth then this life not perish? Hermes: Hush, son! and understand what God, what Cosmos [is], what is a life that cannot die, and what a life subject to dissolution. Yea, understand the Cosmos is by God and in God; but Man by Cosmos and in Cosmos. The source and limit and the constitution of all things is God.

(1) And ...] opened his mouth and [spake] unto the god 1

(86) Then he adds, naming expressly the Almighty God: "Deathless Immortal, capable of being To the immortals only uttered! Come, Greatest of gods, with strong Necessity.

(23) Worship having been offered to the Trinity, and the prayer invoking the aid of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas having been recited, then, calling the deceased by name, three or seven times, speak thus: O nobly-born, listen thou well, and bear at heart that birth in the Hell- world, in the Deva-world, and in this Bardo-body is of the kind called supernormal birth.

(217) 152 To say: R`-Atum, N. comes to thee, an imperishable spirit, lord (by) decree of the places of the four papyrus-pillars. 152 Thy son comes to thee; N. comes to thee, 152 that ye may stride over the sky (way), reunited in obscurity; 152 that ye may arise in the horizon, in a place which is pleasing to you. 153 Set and Nephthys, hasten, announce to the gods of Upper Egypt and their spirits: 153 "N. comes, an imperishable spirit; 153 if he wills that ye die, you will die; if he wills that ye live, you will live." 154a-d == 1152a-d. 155 Osiris and Isis, hasten, announce to the gods of Lower Egypt and their spirits: 155 "N. comes, an imperishable spirit, like the morning star over the Nile; 155 the spirits in the waters adore him; 155 whom he wills that he live, be lives; whom he wills that be die, he dies." 156a-d = 152a-d. 157 Thot, hasten, announce to the gods of the West and their spirits: 157 "N. comes, an imperishable spirit, masked to the neck like an Anubis, chief of the western highland, 157 that he may count hearts, that he may be powerful over the best of the hearts; 157 whom he wills that he live, he lives; whom he wills that he die, he dies." 1158a-d = 152a-d. 159 Horus, hasten, announce to the Souls of the East and their spirits: 159 "N. comes, an imperishable spirit; 159 whom he wills that he live, he lives; whom he wills that he die, he dies,." 160 R`-Atum, thy son comes to thee; N. comes to thee; 160 let him ascend to thee, enfold him in thy embrace; 160 he is thy bodily son for ever.

(676) 2007 To say: Thy water belongs to thee, thine abundance belongs to thee, thine efflux belongs to thee, 2007 which issues from Osiris. 2008 Collect thy bones; arrange thy limbs; 2008 shake off thy dust; untie thy bandages. 2009 The tomb is open for thee; the double doors of the coffin are undone for thee; 2009 the double doors of heaven are open for thee. 2009 "Hail," says Isis; "(come) in peace," says Nephthys, 2009 when they see their brother at the feast of Atum. 2010 These thy libations, Osiris, are in Busiris, in Grg.w-b(.f ); 2010 thy soul is in thy body; thy might is behind thee; remain chief of (or, master of) thy powers. 2011 Raise thyself up, N., 2011 travel over the southern regions; travel over the northern regions; 2011 be thou powerful over the powers that are in thee. 2011 Thy spirits, the jackals, are given thee which Horus of Hierakonpolis has given to thee. 2012 Raise thyself up, N., be seated on thy firm (or, copper) throne. 2012 Anubis, who is chief of the divine pavillion (s-ntr), has commanded 2012 thy purification with thy eight nm.t-jars and (thy) eight `b.tjars, which come from the s-ntr. 2013 Thou art a god who supports the sky, who beautifies the earth. 2013 The mnt.t-woman laments for thee; the great min.t mourns for thee; 2014 arms agitate for thee; feet tremble for thee, 2014 when thou ascendest as a star, as the morning star. 2014 He comes to thee, his father; he comes to thee, Geb; 2015 take his hand, let him sit upon the great seat; 2015 let him unite with the two mt-lakes of b.w; 2015 purify his mouth with natron on the lap of Mnti-'irti; 2015 purify his nails, upper and lower. 2016 Let one do for him what thou didst do for his brother, Osiris, . on the day of counting the bones, 2016 of making firm the sandals, of ferrying over the lake Rd-wr. 2017 To thee come the wise and the understanding; 2017 thou art called to the southern 'itr.t-palace; 2017 to thee come (the gods of) the full northern 'itr.t-palace, with a salutation. 54. TEXTS OF MISCELLANEOUS CONTENTS,

(103) And this now is the earthly god of blind men, which they love and honour, and leave the living God, who stands hidden in the centre, sitting in his seat. For the dead flesh comprehendeth only a dead god, and longeth also only after such a dead god. But it is such a god as has thrown many men headlong into hell.
