I assert my claim of uncompromising empowerment I am like as unto atum lord of all Whose spontaneous self generation Led to the appearance of the earliest gods And thus the material universe There is none higher
I appear in glory as that god Who eats men and lives on the gods As sun gos I am reborn From the womb of the sky goddess nut Her arching body is the sky Her nakedness the skin on which the stars rest
I am atumkhepri who come into being of himself I am he who opened a door in the sky Who rules from his throne and adjudgeth those who are born
I am the horned bull who rules the sky Lord of celestial appearings The great illuminator who came forth from fire To harness the years I am the jackal of jackals I am shu who breathes air into the limits of sky and earth
I draw unto myself all the forces of the universe I become not merely a god but the universe itself I am alone in making the transformation from man into god I am released from this world of servile obligation To false temporal powers who claim to be divine
