Chap. XXVI . THE CHAPTER OF GIVING A HEART TO THE DECEASED I N THE UNDERWORLD . From the Papyrus of Ani.

Vignette : The scribe Ani, clothed in white, and with his heart in his
right hand, addressing the god Anpu (Anubis), jackal-headed . In his left
hand, which is outstretched, Ani holds a necklace of several rows of co-
loured heads ; the clasp is made in the form of a pylon or gateway, and
on the side of the pendant, which is in the same form, is a representation
of a scarab or beetle in a boat to typify the Sun-god Ra-Khepera in his
boat . From the pendant hang lotus flowers . In other Theban papyri the
vignettes are different . In the Papyrus of Nebseni (sheet 5) the god
"Anubis who dwelleth in the city of embalmment" gives a heart to the
deceased ; and in others (see Naville, Todtenbuch, Ba. I . Bl . 37) the de-
ceased is seen either being embraced by Anubis or addressing his heart
which rests upon a standard before him . In the Turin papyrus (Lepsius,
Todtenbuch, 131 . 15) the deceased is seen kneeling before his own soul,
which is in the form of a human-headed hawk, and clasping his heart to
his breast with his left hand .

Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF GIVING A HEART TO OSIRIS
ANI (2) IN THE UNDERWORLD . He saith :--

"May my heart (db)r be with me in the House of Hearts! May
"my heart (hat) be with me in the House of Hearts! May my
"heart be with me, and may it rest there, [or] I shall not eat
"of the cakes of Osiris on the eastern side of the Lake (3) of
"Flowers, neither shall I have a boat wherein to go down the
"Nile, nor another wherein to go up, nor shall I be able to sail
"down the Nile with thee . May my mouth [be given] to me
"that I may (4) speak therewith, and my two legs to walk there-
"with, and my two hands and arms to overthrow my foe. May
"the doors of heaven be opened unto me (5) ; may Seb, the
"Prince I of the gods, open wide his two jaws unto me ; may
"he open my two eyes which are blindfolded ; may he cause
"me to stretch apart (6) my two legs which are bound together ;
"and may Anpu (Anubis) make my thighs firm so that I may
"stand upon them . May the goddess Sekhet make me to rise
"(7) so that I may ascend unto heaven, and may that be done
"which I command in the House of the ka (double) of Ptah
"(i. e ., Memphis) . I understand with my heart . I have gained
"the mastery over my (8) heart, I have gained the mastery over
"my two hands, I have gained the mastery over my legs, I have
"gained the power to do whatsoever my ka (double) pleaseth .
"(9) My soul shall not be fettered to my body at the gates of
"the underworld ; but I shall enter in peace and I shall come
"forth in peace .
