Chapter of the Crown of Triumph.

Thy father Tmu has made thee this beautiful crown as a magical charm so that thou mayest live for ever.  Thy father Seb gives thee his inheritance.  Osiris, the prince of Amenta, makes thee victorious over thy foes.  Go thou as Horus, son of Isis and Osiris, and triumph ever on thy way to the underworld.

Yea (Osiris) Aufankh shall, through this recited text, live and triumph for ever and ever.  Horus repeated these words four times, and his enemies fell headlong.  And (Osiris) Aufankh has repeated these words four times, so let him be victorious.

This chapter is to be recited over a consecrated crown placed over the face of the deceased, and thou shalt cast incense into the flame on behalf of (Osiris) Aufankh, so securing triumph over all his foes.  And food and drink shall in the underworld be reached him in the presence of Osiris its king.

Chapter about making the deceased remember his name in the underworld.

Nu triumphant, son of Amen-hotep, says:  Let me remember my name in the great House below on the night when years are counted and months are reckoned up.  If any god come to me, let me at once be able to utter his name[6] and thus disarm him.

A chapter about not letting the heart of the deceased act against him in the underworld.

My heart, received from my mother, my heart, without which life on earth was not possible, rise then not up against me in the presence of the gods in the great day of judgment when human thoughts, words, and acts shall all be weighed in a balance.

These words are to be inscribed on a hard green, gold-coated scarab, which is to be inserted through the mouth into the bosom of the deceased.

Chapter about repelling the ass-eater[7].

Avaunt! serpent Hai, impure one, hater of Osiris.  Get thee back, for Thoth has cut off thy head.  Let alone the ass, that I may have clear skies when I cross to the underworld in the Neshmet boat.  I am guiltless before the gods, and have wronged none.  So avaunt! thou sun-beclouding one, and let me have a prosperous voyage.

Chapter about reserving for the deceased his seat in the underworld.

Nu says:  My seat, my throne, come ye to me, surround me, divine ones.  I am a mummy-shaped person.  O grant that I may become like the great god, successful, having seat and throne.

A chapter about coming forth by day from the underworld (i.e., the resurrection).

[One of the very oldest chapters in the Book of the Dead, as old at least as the first dynasty, say 4500 B.C.  No chapter was regarded with greater reverence, or recited or copied with more confidence in its efficacy, probably because it is a summing up of the important chapters on the coming forth by day from the underworld.  He who knows this chapter by heart is safe against danger in this world and in all other abodes.]
