- LXIII.
- With rich splendor am I baptized,
- with bright light am I strengthened.
- Mandā baptized me,
- Kuštā strengthened me.
- A letter, the connection and victoriousness
- came to me from the house of life.
- Its binding is the water,
- its wreath the light,
- its weapon the living speech,
- its seal the chosen, pure one.
- Anyone who opens it and reads it
- will find life and healing,
- and its name will be established
- in the house of life.
- In the name of the alien life from the worlds...
- And the life is victorious.
Commentary
- This is the solidification of the oil for the Mass.
