In _a_ the Sun is represented as rising into Heaven, saluted by the six Cynocephalous Apes. He is also saluted by two goddesses kneeling. In the Papyrus of Hunefer these goddesses say, “I am thy sister Isis,” “I am thy sister Nephthys.” The _Tat_ ⁂ which is between them is a symbol _both_ of Osiris and of the East, and in _Ba_ is replaced by the sign ⁂. In the later periods the Dawn was represented by the sign ⁂ consisting of the Sun rising out of the East, between Isis and Nephthys. The sign of Life ⁂ _ānḫ_ (which primarily means _rise up_) rises out of the _Tat_, and with hands proceeding from it raises up the Sun. In _b_ the central object is the Sun setting in the West ⁂. He is saluted by three hawk-headed and by three jackal-headed divinities, the Spirits of Pu and of Nechen. Below this scene the Sun of Yesterday and the Sun of To-day in lion forms are saluted by Isis and Nephthys. ------------------------------------ CHAPTER XVII. _Chapter whereby one cometh forth by day out of the Netherworld. Let the words be said_: =I am he who closeth and he who openeth, and I am but One.=(1.) I am Râ at his first appearance. I am the great god, self-produced; His Names together compose the cycle of the gods; Resistless is he among the gods.(2.) I, who am Osiris, am Yesterday and the kinsman of the Morrow.(3.) A scene of strife arose among the gods when I gave the command.(4.) =Amenta is the scene of strife among the gods.= I know the name of the great god who is here. =Herald[20] of Râ is his name.= I am the great Heron who is in Heliopolis, who presideth over the account of whatsoever is and of that which cometh into being.(5.) =Who is that? It is Osiris who presideth over the account of all that is and all that cometh into being, that is Endless Time and Eternity. Endless Time is Day and Eternity is Night.= I am Amsu in his manifestations; there have been given to me the Two Feathers upon my head.(6.) =Who is that, and what are his Feathers? It is Horus, the avenger of his father, and the Two Feathers are the Uræi upon the forehead of his father Tmu.=(7.) I have alighted upon my Land, and I come from my own Place. =What is that? It is the Horizon of my father Tmu.= All defects are done away, all deficiencies are removed, and all that was wrong in me is cast forth. I am purified at the two great and mighty Lakes at Sutenhunen, which purify the offerings which living men present to the great god who is there(8.). =Who is that? It is Râ himself.= =Which are the two great and mighty Lakes? The Lake of Natron and the Lake of Māāt=(9.). =I advance over the roads, which I know, and my face is on the Land of Māāt.= =What is that? The road upon which father Tmu advanceth, when he goeth to the Field of Aarru, approaching to the land of Spirits in Heaven.= I come forth through the T’eser gate.
