Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 79


 * LXXIX.
 * In the name of the great life.
 * When the myrtle,
 * the myrtle was resplendent in the gardens of Hibil,
 * when the Origanum was in the quarters of the Mandā,
 * they gave me two branches of the myrtle
 * and wove therefrom a wreath for the Jordan,
 * which is wondrous
 * and whose fragrance is sweet.

Commentary

 * Read this song
 * and wind the myrtle wreath for your olive staff,
 * then read the song for Jordan,
 * "Hear me, my Father, hear me".
