Thus speaks Ptah-Totunen with the high plumes, armed with horns, the father of the gods, to his son who loves him,
3 the first-born of his loins, the god who is young again, the prince of the gods, the master of the thirty years, like Totunen, King Rameses.[433] I am thy father, I have begotten [pg 317] thee like a god; all thy limbs are divine. I took the form of the ram of
4 Mendes, and I went to thy noble mother. I have thought of thee, I have fashioned thee to be the joy of my person, I have brought thee forth like the rising sun, I have raised thee among the gods, King Rameses. Num
5 and Ptah have nourished thy childhood, they leap with joy when they see thee made after my likeness, noble, great, exalted.[434] The great princesses of the house of Ptah and the Hathors of the temple of Tem are
6 in festival, their hearts are full of gladness, their hands take the drum with joy, when they see thy person beautiful and lovely like my Majesty.
The gods and goddesses exalt thy beauties, they celebrate thee
7 when they give to me their praises, saying: “Thou art our father who has caused us to be born; there is a god like thee, the King Rameses.”
I look at thee, and my heart is joyful; I embrace thee with my golden arms, and I surround thee with life, purity, and duration. I provide thee
8 with permanent happiness. I have fixed in thee joy, enjoyment, pleasure, gladness, and delight. I grant thee that thy heart may be young again like mine. I have elected thee, I have chosen thee, I have perfected thee; thy heart is excellent and thy words are exquisite; there is absolutely nothing
9 which thou ignorest, up to this day, since the time of old; thou vivifiest the inhabitants of the earth through thy command, King Rameses.
