_Chapter whereby one propitiateth_(1.) _the Ka._
Hail to thee, my Ka, my coeval.(2.)
May I come to thee and be glorified and made manifest and ensouled, let
me have strength and soundness.
Let me bring to thee grains of incense wherewith I may purify myself and
may also purify thine own overflow.
The wrong assertions that I have uttered, and the wrong resistance which
I have offered: let them not be imputed to me.
For I am the green gem, fresh at the throat of Rā, given by those who
are at the Horizon: their freshness is my freshness [_said twice_], the
freshness of my Ka is like theirs, and the dainties of my Ka are like
theirs.
Thou who liftest the hand at the Balance, and raisest Law to the nose of
Rā in this day [of my Ka]: do not thou put my head away from me. For I
am the Eye which seeth and the Ear which heareth; and am I not the Bull
of the sacrificial herd, are not the mortuary gifts(3.) upon me and the
supernal powers [_otherwise said_: the powers above Nut].
Grant that I may pass by thee, and may purify myself and cause the
triumph of Osiris over his adversaries.(4.)
