Through him Jāwar the First set up Uthras in the Jordan, resplendent vines of life. By him Hibil set up in the Jordan the living souls, worthy of the great place of light, and the shining abode. Through him they were erected and set up in the house of the mighty May these souls, who go down to the Jordan and receive baptism, ascend and behold the great place of light and the shining abode. And life is victorious.

Portrait of Mark Lidzbarski Mark Lidzbarski Mandaïsche Liturgien — Prayer 14

Grieving, Rūhā sits there, the Seven sit there in confusion. They weep and long their lamentation, because their secret has been revealed. Because their secret has been revealed, they will come to an end on the great day of the end. Namrus feared and was afraid; her weapons fell from her shoulder. From her shoulder fell her weapons, the bows from her palm. Rūhā speaks to her sons, she speaks to the vain fiends: "My sons! If fear befalls your mother, what will you seven do? When the strange man comes, who will confront him?"
