Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 54


 * LIV.
 * Jōkašar chose the otherworldly one,
 * he chose him, created him and established him.
 * He clothed him with splendor in abundance
 * and brought light in quantity
 * and covered him with it.
 * He lifted him up to the great place of light and the luminous dwelling.
 * In his own Škīnā he secluded himself,
 * and his soul found rest in his treasure.
 * As the living water shone forth from the house of life,
 * so may these souls, which have been brought forth,
 * strengthened and drawn by this mass, shine forth,
 * as well as those of our fathers, teachers, brothers and sisters,
 * who have departed from their bodies
 * and who are are still in their bodies.
 * On the paved way and on the paths of the perfect ones,
 * may they ascend and behold the great place of light and the shining abode,
 * may they be established by Ptā, the great, first light.
 * And the life is victorious.
