Chapter whereby water is drunk in the Netherworld.

Let the Great One be opened to the servant of God; let the Kabhu be thrown wide to the Wise, the Coverer, Lord of the Horizon, in His name of the Divider of the Earth.

May I have command of the water even as the might of the storm had over its enemies.

It is I who traverse the Heaven:

I am a servant of the Light-giver:

I am strong as a lion:

I am the steer;

I eat the haunch, and pierce through the joint.

I go round the Fields of Reeds.

There hath been assigned to me eternity, without end.

And lo! I am the heir of endless time, and my attribute is eternity.
