XLI.

I worshipped and praised the treasure of light,

the great helper of life.

He created the Pihtā in secret

and handed it to the mighty first life in his Škīnā.

I praised the 7 hidden, dear, kept Mānās,

who were created from their place,

planted from their treasure house.

I worshipped and praised the mighty, first life,

which was planted from its place,

planted from its own treasure-house,

which dwelt in it, grew, had seat and continuance,

was glorified and praised.

It praises in its turn and says:

"Every Nāsōraean who recites these secret speeches

I will seek and find 7 times a day,

speak and be heard,

and 7 sins will be remitted to him

in the great place of light and the shining dwelling".

And blessed be the life.
