131.2The heart of the Osiris is glad, because he is one at the head of them.

131.3His adversaries are brought to a stop by the warriors of the Osiris N, who is a follower of Rā, and hath taken his arms of steel.

131.4He cometh to thee, his father Rā, he followeth Shu and calleth for the Crown. He putteth on Hu and is arrayed with the Lock which is on the path of Rā and is his glory.

131.5And he arriveth at the Aged one, at the confines of the Mount of Glory, and the crown awaiteth him.

131.6The Osiris N raiseth it up.

131.7Thy Soul is with thee, and strong is thy Soul through the terror and the might which belong to thee, Oh Osiris N, who utterest the decrees which Rā hath spoken in Heaven.

131.8Hail to thee, great god in the East of Heaven, who enterest into the Bark of Rā in the form of the Divine Hawk and executest the decrees which have been uttered; thou who strikest with thy sceptre from thy Bark.

131.9The Osiris N entereth into thy Bark and saileth peacefully to the Fair West; and Tmu saith to him: Art thou coming in?

131.10Mehenit is millions upon millions in length from Amur to Ta-ur an endless river wherein the gods move.

131.11... whose path is in the fire; and they travel in the fire who come behind him.
