THE PAPYRUS OF ANI
THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
Translated by E.A. Wallis Budge
Part 14
Who is this Lord of Terror?
"It is the Keeper of the Bend [of the stream] of Amentet."
Who is this Keeper?
"It is the Heart of Osiris, which is the devourer of all slaughtered
things.
"The Urrt Crown hath been given unto him, with gladness of heart, as
Lord of Hensu."
Who is this?
"He to whom the Urrt Crown hath been given with gladness of heart as
Lord of Hensu is Osiris. He was bidden to rule among the gods on the
day of the union of earth [with earth] in the presence of Nebertcher."
"He who was bidden to rule among the gods is the son of Isis
(Horus), who was appointed to rule in the room of his father Osiris.
"As concerning [the words] 'day of the union of earth with earth,'
they have reference to the union of earth with earth in the coffin
of Osiris, the Soul that liveth in Hensu, the giver of meat and drink,
the destroyer of wrong, and the guide to the everlasting paths."
"It is Ra himself."
"[Deliver thou the Osiris the scribe Ani, whose word is truth]
from the great god who carrrieth away souls, who eateth hearts, who
feedeth upon offal, who keepeth watch in the darkness, who dwelleth in
the Seker Boat; those who live in sin fear him."
