THE PAPYRUS OF ANI
THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
Translated by E.A. Wallis Budge
Part 75
THE CHAPTER OF A HEART OF SEHERT STONE. The Osiris Ani, whose word
is truth, saith:- I am the Benu bird, the Heart-soul of Ra, the
guide of the gods to the Tuat. Their Heart-souls come forth upon earth
to do what their KAU wish to do, and the Heart-soul of the Osiris
Ani shall come forth to do what his Ka wisheth to do.
THE CHAPTER OF THE HEAD-REST, which is to be placed under the head
of the Osiris Ani, whose word is truth. Awake out of thy sufferings, O
thou who liest prostrate! Awake thou! Thy head is in the horizon. I
lift thee up, O thou whose word is truth. Ptah hath overthrown thine
enemies for thee. Thine enemies have fallen, and they shall never more
exist, O Osiris.
(From the Papyrus of Nebseni, Sheet 21)
THE CHAPTER OF THE HEAD-REST [OR PILLOW]. Awake out of thy
sufferings, O thou who liest prostrate. They (the gods) keep watch
over thy head in the horizon. Thou art lifted up, thy word is truth in
respect of the things which have been done by thee. Ptah hath cast
down headlong thine enemies. This work was ordered to be done for
thee. Thou art Horus, the son of Hathor, Nesert, Nesertet, who
giveth back the head after it hath been cut off. Thy head shall not be
carried away from thee, after [it hath been cut off]; thy head shall
be carried away from thee, never, never!
