Prayer 103
Mark Lidzbarski3807272Mandaïsche Liturgien — Prayer 1031920Wikisource
CIII.
Downheld is the darkness in...
and the light is set up in its place.
The life accepted your prayer,
the Uthras accepted your praise.
The alms rests with its benefactor,
the benefit rests with its giver.
This soul of the NN
and the souls of this ascent
rest in the great place of light
and in the shining dwelling.
And the life is victorious.

Commentary

[edit]
Here read "With rich splendor I am baptized" (= LXIII),
then lay your hands for the ascent
and make a prayer for yourself.
And the life is victorious.
