Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 43


 * XLIII.
 * You stand firm, first life,
 * before which no one was there,
 * alien from the worlds of light, sublime,
 * which above all works, above the ancient splendor,
 * above the first light, above the life that came from life,
 * above the Kuštā that has always been at the beginning.
 * You stand firm, Mandā d-Haijē, for your chosen ones.
 * This is what you have revealed to us
 * from the book of Nhūr,
 * from the treasure of Ptā,
 * from the first treasure
 * and from the treasure of light.
 * Great rest and support of life,
 * which shines by its light and whose light illuminates.
 * He became, was created and became full,
 * he went forth with great power and became mighty through the greatness of knowledge.
 * He became great in splendor, full of light
 * that came from the tear of life, of wondrous form, firm.
 * The worlds were ashamed
 * that no one saw his form, his splendor and his glory.
 * Kuštā stands firm for her friends,
 * Mandā d-Haijē for his chosen ones.
 * You have chosen us and taken us out of the world of hatred, jealousy and discord,
 * set us up on the paths of Kustā and faith,
 * so that we may stand and praise the hidden and kept place.
 * Whoever takes from this Pihtā and this creation will be
 * sinless in the place of light and the shining dwelling.
 * And life is victorious.

Commentary

 * These are pieces of the Pihtā.
