I have come to my abode. I have united the two diadems. I shine like a star. O ye flowers, the name of which is “the precious bunch,” I am the lotus which cometh out of the holy earth; when I am plucked, I settle myself at the nostrils of the Great Figure. I have come out of the lake of flame, I have received justice instead of evil. I am near the white cloth(5.), and I keep watch over the Uræi in the night of the great flood of tears.(6.) I shine like Nefertmu the lotus which is at the nostril of Rā when he comes forth on the horizon every day, and the gods are purified by his sight. _N._ is triumphant among the _ka_, smiting the hearts through his great wisdom. He is near the god, he is the Sau(7.) (the knowing one) at the western (right) side of Rā. I have come to my abode among the _ka_, uniting the hearts through my great wisdom. I am Sau near the god, at the western side of Rā; my sceptre (?) is in my hand. I am called the great favourite, as I am clad in red garments. I am Sau, on the western side of Rā, with a stout heart in the cave of Nu. NOTES. This Chapter is already found in the pyramid of Unas (l. 379-399). Prof. Erman (_Zeitschr._, XXXIII, p. 2) has made a special study of it, and has pointed out that the title of this Chapter originates from a misunderstanding of the word ⁂⁂⁂ which should be a star and not a gate or a door. Were it not for the vignette, which represents the deceased, the woman Muthotepet coming out of a door, we should translate: “Chapter of the coming forth of the _Chu_ as a great star in the sky”; in accordance with these words found in the course of the chapter: “Shestet gave me birth to be her star, Sothis,” etc. Two papyri only contain this Chapter, one in London and one in Paris. The London text has a vignette with these words: “the coming out of the door in the sky by....” 1. ⁂⁂⁂⁂ M. Maspero translates: ton fils t’a fait (le sacrifice). The word ⁂ is employed here as in the rubric of Chapter 141, “to say, to speak.” This speech is a ceremonial act, one of the ⁂⁂⁂ done for the deceased. 2. We noticed before (Chapter 160, note 2) that ⁂ is a variant for ⁂ when applying to Tmu. Here it applies to Horus. The unknown word ⁂⁂⁂ being parallel, I give it conjecturally a similar sense. 3. ⁂ “the great one, the great goddess,” and its variants ⁂⁂⁂⁂ etc., occur frequently in the Book of the Dead, and seem to be a name of the sky. 4. ⁂⁂ which is found in the papyrus, is clearly a mistake for the name of the goddess _Shestet_, which we read in the text of Unas. 5. Perhaps a tent in which he will shelter the Uræi. 6. See note 1, Chapter 4, and _Life Work_, Vol. III, p. 46. I suppose it means here a heavy rain.
