Spell 125 — The Hall of Two Truths, Opening

E.A. Wallis Budge, 1895

Hail, thou great god, Lord of the two Truths! I have come unto thee, my Lord, that thou mayest bring me to see thy beauty. I know thee, I know thy name, I know the names of the two and forty gods of those who are with thee in this Hall of the Two Truths, who live on those who cherish evil and who gulp down their blood on that day of the reckoning of characters in the presence of Osiris.
