Chapter whereby one knoweth the powers of the East.

I know that Eastern Gate of Heaven (the South of it is by the lake of Cha-ru, and the north of it by the stream of Reu), from whence the sun saileth with favouring gales.

I am the teller in the divine ship: I am the unresting navigator in the bark of the Light-giver.

I know those two sycomores of emerald between which the sun cometh forth, as he advanceth over what the breath-giver hath lifted up, to every gate through which he proceedeth.

I know the Garden of Aarru: the wall of it is of steel. The wheat of it is of 7 cubits, the ears of it of 2 cubits, the stalk of it of 4 cubits. The barley of it is of 7 cubits, and the ears are of 4 cubits, and the stalk of 3 cubits.

It is the glorified ones, each of whom is 9 cubits in height, who reap them, in presence of the powers of the East.

I know the powers of the East: the avenger of the solar mount, the calf in presence of the Lord, and the star of dawn.

A divine domain hath been constructed for me; I know the name of it; the name of it is the Garden of Aarru.
