CHAPTER CXLVII.
The first gate. The name of the doorkeeper is: he whose face is overturned, who has many attributes. The name of its warder is: the adjuster. The name of the herald is: he with a loud voice.
Said by N when he approaches the first gate.
I am the mighty one, who createth his own light.([1])
I come to thee, Osiris, and I worship thee.
Pure are thine effluxes, which flow from thee, and which make thy name in Restau([2]) when it hath passed there.
Hail to thee, Osiris.
