Egyptian Book of the Dead — Renouf/Naville, 1904
CHAPTER CXXXVI A . Chapter whereby one is conveyed in the Bark of Rā. Lo the Light( 1 ) which riseth up in Cher-āba.( 2 ) He is born, he of the strong cord,( 3 ) his cable( 4 ) is at an end, and his rudder( 5 ) hath been taken in hand. I poise the divine machinery( 6 ) by which I raise up the Bark to the cord above head, by means of which I come forth into Heaven, and am conveyed to Nut. I am conveyed by it along with Rā. I am conveyed by it like the Kaf.( 7 ) I stop the path at the Uārit of Nut, at the staircase where Seb and Nut bewail their hearts.
