XII.
In the name of the great life.


I honor, glorify and praise Srar,
that great, hidden, first vine
that bears 1,000 times 1,000 fruits
and 10,000 times 10,000 tendrils.
I called him and he heard me,
again I will call him, and he will hear me,
that he may come and heal me,
that he may lift me up,
strengthen me and raise me up,
that he may raise up for me
my eyes into light,
my feet into steadfastness,
my mouth into wisdom,
my heart into enlightenment.
Furthermore, I honor, glorify and praise
that great, hidden, first Škīnā
of the house of the shining beings.
Further, I adore, glorify, and praise
that great, hidden, first Škīnā
in which my ancestors sit.
Further, I revere, glorify, and praise
Rwaz, that great, first vine that...
left waters in the abodes.
Further, I honor, glorify, and praise
Rwaz, that great, first light,
who is established as ruler over the light worlds.
Further, I honor, glorify, and praise
that great, hidden, first Škīnā,
to which the eyes of the Nāsōraeans, priests, and men of proven righteousness look up
to behold the great place of light and the shining abode.


And the life is victorious.


Commentary
