- XLII.
- I adore, glorify and praise that secret, first speech
- which Jāwar gave away in secret.
- He expounded it and explained it,
- and by it he set up the lamp of life.
- Jāwar said:
- "Enlightenment and praise took place.
- Jewelry came and settled over her (the speech's) own Škīnā.
- Splendor and light came and set up before her.
- Jewelry and enlightenment came and settled at her right hand".
- Life desires to behold the image of Jāwar-Zīwā in its splendor,
- to perform prayer and praise
- which it had called out to Šilmai and Nidbai,
- the two Uthras, the messengers of the Mandā d-Haijē.
- Jāwar said,
- "Any Nāsōraen who recites this hidden prayer 7 times a day
- will be forgiven 7 sins a day."
- Life stands firm in its Škīnā,
- life is victorious.
