Part 34

  THE CHAPTER OF NOT DYING A SECOND TIME IN KHERT-NETER. The Osiris

Ani saith:- My hiding place is opened, my hiding place is opened.

The Spirits fall headlong in the darkness, but the Eye of Horus hath

made me holy, and Upuati hath nursed me. I will hide myself among you,

O ye stars which are imperishable. My brow is like the brow of Ra.

My face is open. My heart-case is upon its throne, I know how to utter

words. In very truth I am Ra himself. I am not a man of no account.

I am not a man to whom violence can be done. Thy father liveth for

thee, O son of Nut. I am thy son, O great one, I have seen the

hidden things which are thine. I am crowned upon my throne like the

king of the gods. I shall not die a second time in Khert-Neter.

  THE CHAPTER OF NOT ROTTING IN KHERT-NETER. The Osiris Ani saith:-

O thou who art motionless, O thou who art motionless, O thou whose

members are motionless, like unto those of Osiris. Thy members shall

not be motionless, they shall not rot, they shall not crumble away,

they shall not fall into decay. My members shall be made [permanent]

for me as if I were Osiris.

  RUBRIC: If this Chapter be known by the deceased he shall never

see corruption in Khert-Neter.
