------------------------------------ CHAPTER CXXXII. _Chapter whereby a person is enabled to go round, to visit his dwelling in the Netherworld._ I am the Lion-god who issueth from the Bow,(1.) and therefore have I shot forth.(2.) I am the Eye of Horus; and the Eye of Horus is opened at the instant that I reach the strand, coming with happy issue. I advance and, lo! there is no defect found in me, and the Balance is relieved of my case.(3.) NOTES. 1. _The Bow_, ⁂, often written with the determinative ⁂, of _stretching_, which is the conception implied in this name of the instrument. This mythological _Bow_, as I explained, _Proc. Soc. Bibl. Arch._, VI, 131, is the moon’s _crescent_, which during its course through the sky is always turned towards the sun; so that a line at right angles to the chord of the arc passes through the sun’s centre. From this “very delicate observation,” as Arago calls it, the Alexandrian astronomer Geminus infers that the moon derives its light from the sun. The observation evidently had been made in Egypt some thousands of years before Geminus, and explains why in several chapters the sun is spoken of as shining in or from the moon. See also _Proc. Soc. Bibl. Arch._, XVII, 37, on another form of the myth. 2. I follow the Turin text in omitting a word about which the earlier texts are not agreed, but which seems to have originated in an alternate reading for ⁂. 3. See end of Chapter 1 and note. These words are omitted in Turin text. ------------------------------------ CHAPTER CXXXIII. _Book whereby the Deceased acquireth Might(1.) in the Netherworld in presence of the great Cycle of the gods._ [_Said on the first day of the Month_].(2.) Rā maketh his appearance at the Mount of Glory, with the Cycle of gods about him: the Strong one issueth from his hidden abode. The Twinklers(3.) fall away from the Mount of Glory at the East of Heaven, at the voice of Nut as she buildeth up the paths of Rā, before the Ancient one who goeth round. Be thou lift up, O Rā who art in thine shrine; breathe thou the breezes, inhale the north wind ... (4.)on the day when thou discernest the Land of Maāt. Thou dividest them that follow; the Bark advanceth and the Ancient ones step onwards at thy voice. Reckon thou thy bones, and set thy limbs, and turn thy face towards the beautiful Amenta. For thou art the golden Form,(5.) with a couch of the heavenly orbs, with the Twinklers amongst whom thou goest round, and art renewed daily. Acclamation cometh from the Mount of Glory, and greeting from the lines of measurement.(6.) The gods who are in heaven, they see the Osiris _N_, they present to him their adorations as to Rā. He is the Great one, who seeketh the Crown and reckoneth up that which is needful.
