XIII.
The time has come to perform the prayer,
and the great hour to be humble,
to show reverence to my Lord Manda d-Haijē,
that the men of proven righteousness may be awakened.
The disciples say to Mandā d-Haijē,
"We reject wage payment, almsgiving and other merit,
we want to leave the deity of the house,
we want to come and become believers."
Thereupon Mandā d-Haijē speaks to the disciples:
"Your father disposes of extended power,
which is more extended than any limit,
than the heated (?), futile treasures
and than the consuming fire.
The Good One clothes and envelops his sons,
he lifts them up and shows them
the essence of the great peace of life.
Your souls then shine from the cloud of light,
while the other souls die and are as if they had never been.
You will receive your robe,
you will receive your wreath.
Before the great ones you will be great,
among the Uthras you will be called Uthras.
You will say:
"Life stands firm in its Škīnā,
life is victorious".


Commentary

[edit]
Perform this prayer at the evening prayer after the incense and after "On the light of the ether I stand".
