Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 20


 * XX
 * Blessed be you, outer gate,
 * blessed be you, light dwelling.
 * Blessed be you, great shining beings,
 * mighty, great light beings.
 * Blessed, praised and glorified
 * be the Uthras who dwell at the Jordan.
 * You Jordan be gentle for these souls who have descended into you.
 * And healing be to them for the sake of truthful speech and the raising of the Jōkabar-Zīwā.
 * And life is victorious.

Commentary

 * This is the firming of the Jordan.
 * When you "firm" the Jordan, when you baptize (several) souls, say as it is written.
 * If the soul is One, say "the soul of the NN who descended into you."
 * Then go up to the shore and read "out of the Jordan I went up".
