Chapter whereby the Crocodiles are repulsed who come to carry off the Words of Truth from a person in the Netherworld.

O God, protect me from the crocodile Sui. Let him retreat; let him not come against me, who live by the words of truth.

I call upon the Name of the great God, who sendeth two of His messengers to come; the name of one is Batta, and the name of the other is Thine Aspect is Fixed Law.

Heaven determineth its hour; the truth I utter determineth all that concerneth it, and my mouth upholdeth my word of truth. I eat, and my teeth are like flint, and my grinders are like the Cliff of Tuf.

O thou who art sitting with a watchful eye against this my word of truth; do not thou carry it off, O Crocodile who livest by thine own word.
