Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 14


 * XIV.
 * In the name of Jōsmīr, the first grapevine,
 * from whom Jāwar took the staff of water and went to the bank of the Jordan,
 * covered with splendor, clothed with light.
 * He spoke about him secret sayings and these secret names:
 * In the name of Jōsmīr, Jōsamīr and Sām, the well-kept Mānā,
 * in the name of Hauran-Hauraran.
 * Through him Jāwar the First set up Uthras in the Jordan,
 * resplendent vines of life.
 * By him Hibil set up in the Jordan the living souls,
 * worthy of the great place of light, and the shining abode.
 * Through him they were erected and set up in the house of the mighty
 * May these souls, who go down to the Jordan and receive baptism,
 * ascend and behold the great place of light and the shining abode.
 * And life is victorious.

Commentary

 * Read this spirit from the staff over the olive staff, thrust it into the Jordan, and then read (the prayers for) baptism.
