Chapter of the safeguards of the bark of the Light-giver.

O Thou who art devoid of moisture in coming forth from the stream; and who restest upon the deck of Thy bark: as Thou proceedest in the direction of yesterday, and restest upon the deck of Thy bark, let me join Thy boatmen.

O Light-giver, since Thou passest through an eye of seven cubits, whose pupil is of three: do Thou then make me sound, I am a powerful spirit, let Thy soundness be my soundness.

O Light-giver, since Thou passest through those who are perishing headlong: do Thou then keep me standing on my feet. I am a powerful spirit, let Thy soundness be my soundness.

O Light-giver, since Thou openest the secrets of the Ammehit, which gladdeneth the hearts of the divine circle: do Thou then give me my heart. I am a powerful spirit, let Thy soundness be my soundness, and the soundness of Thy limbs be the soundness of my limbs.

Vegetation is made to grow out of his body by God's grace. He becometh blessed for ever, and his limbs are made vigorous in the Netherworld by the Wise, in causing the light to rise out of his dead body; undeviatingly and for times infinite.
