Transformation Into A Lotus

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 11).]

THE CHAPTER OF MAKING THE TRANSFORMATION INTO A LOTUS. The overseer of the
palace, the chancellor-in-chief, Nu, saith:

“I am the pure lotus which springeth up from the divine splendor that
belongeth to the nostrils of Rā. I have made [my way], and I follow on
seeking for him who is Horus. I am the pure one who cometh forth out of
the Field.”




Transformation Into A Lotus


[From the Papyrus of Paqrer (see Naville, op. cit., Bd. I. Bl. 93).]

THE CHAPTER OF MAKING THE TRANSFORMATION INTO A LOTUS. Saith Osiris
Paqrer:

“Hail, thou lotus, thou type of the god Nefer-Temu! I am the man that
knoweth you, and I know your names among [those of] the gods, the lords of
the underworld, and I am one of you. Grant ye that [I] may see the gods
who are the divine guide in the Tuat (underworld), and grant ye unto me a
place in the underworld near unto the lords of Amentet. Let me arrive at a
habitation in the land of Tchesert, and receive me, O all ye gods, in the
presence of the lords of eternity. Grant that my soul may come forth
whithersoever it pleaseth, and let it not be driven away from the presence
of the great company of the gods.”
