- XLIV.
- Biriawiš, the container of living water,
- Nbat, the first sprout, the great outflow of splendor from the side of life.
- Abundant is the life for the souls of this ascent.
- And praised be the life.
Commentary
- This is a piece for drinking.
- When you read about (several) souls,
- read as it is written, when the soul is one, say "for this soul of the NN".
