LI.
In the name of life.
I am baptized in the name of the alien, exalted life,
which is above all works,
and am established in the name of the treasure of light.
Jāwar revealed his treasure from the house of life,
the founder of the form;
he planted the great life in the light.
I looked at the life,
and the life looked at me,
and to the life I had confidence.
When this soul of the NN takes off the bodily garment,
it puts on the garment of the life
and becomes an image of the great life in the light.
The worlds pushed us, but we did not fall.
By the side of your Kuštā we had confidence.
Nbat, the first sprout,
the outflow of the great splendor of life in victories,
Kuštā and the great Kannā of glory.
And praised be the life.
