THE PAPYRUS OF ANI
THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
Translated by E.A. Wallis Budge
Part 52
[THE CHAPTER] OF MAKING THE TRANSFORMATION INTO A HAWK OF GOLD.
The Osiris Ani saith:- I have risen up out of the seshett chamber,
like the golden hawk which cometh forth from his egg. I fly, I
alight like a hawk with a back of seven cubits, and the wings of which
are like unto the mother-of-emerald of the South. I have come forth
from the Sektet Boat, and my heart hath been brought unto me from
the mountain of the East. I have alighted on the Atet Boat, and
there have been brought unto me those who dwelt in their substance,
and they bowed in homage before me. I have risen, I have gathered
myself together like a beautiful golden hawk, with the head of the
Benu, and Ra hath entered in [to hear my speech]. I have taken my seat
among the great gods, [the children of] Nut. I have settled myself,
the Sekhet-hetepet (the Field of Offerings) is before me. I eat
therein, I become a Spirit-soul therein, I am supplied with food in
abundance therein, as much as I desire. The Grain-god (Nepra) hath
given unto me food for my throat, and I am master over myself and over
the attributes of my head.
