Prayer of the staff (margna)

XIV.
In the name of Jōsmīr, the first grapevine,
from whom Jāwar took the staff of water and went to the bank of the Jordan,
covered with splendor, clothed with light.
He spoke about him secret sayings and these secret names:
In the name of Jōsmīr, Jōsamīr and Sām, the well-kept Mānā,
in the name of Hauran-Hauraran.
Through him Jāwar the First set up Uthras in the Jordan,
resplendent vines of life.
By him Hibil set up in the Jordan the living souls,
worthy of the great place of light, and the shining abode.
Through him they were erected and set up in the house of the mighty
May these souls, who go down to the Jordan and receive baptism,
ascend and behold the great place of light and the shining abode.
And life is victorious.

Commentary

[edit]
Read this spirit from the staff over the olive staff, thrust it into the Jordan, and then read (the prayers for) baptism.
