CHAPTER 9. [The Sun track]

1. When I put forth the third footstep on Huvarsht, there where good deeds (huvarsht) are received with hospitality, there I arrived. (2) There is the radiance which they call the highest of the highest; (3) and I saw the pious on thrones and carpets made of gold; (4) and they were the people whose brightness was like unto the brightness of the sun. 5. And I asked Srosh the pious, and Adar the angel, thus: 'Which place is this? and who are those souls?' 6. Srosh the pious, and Adar the angel, said (7) thus: 'This is the sun track; and those are the souls who, in the world, exercised good sovereignty and rulership and chieftainship.'
