- XXVI.
- In the name of life.
- Bound and sealed be these souls
- who have descended to the Jordan and received baptism,
- by virtue of the name of the great Life.
- They are baptized with the baptism of the great Bihrām.
- Let their souls be bound
- with the bonds of righteousness,
- with the bonds of truth,
- with the bonds of Z'hīr, the great light of life.
- And blessed be the life.
