Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 98


 * XCVIII.
 * The day the soul goes forth,
 * the day the perfected one ascends,
 * the day the soul goes forth away
 * from beneath the wheels of death,
 * ... is thrown into strife
 * into the Tibil of impermanence.
 * Rūhā sits in sorrow,
 * the 7 sit in torpor.
 * The skirt of the stars is tattered,
 * dust is thrown on the head of Rūhā.
 * The bell-ringers are weeping,
 * the watchmen are terrified.
 * The man who brought me here
 * brought me a splendid robe.
 * He clothed me with a robe of splendor
 * and covered me with a turban of light.
 * He erected on me an ather wreat
 * and whatever else the great (life) granted to the Uthras.
 * He erected me among the Uthras,
 * erected me among the accomplished ones.
 * He erected an ather wreath on my head
 * and solemnly took me out of the world.
 * The life supported the life,
 * the life found its own,
 * its own found the life,
 * and my soul found what it hoped for.
 * Life is upheld and is victorious,
 * and victorious is the man who went here.
