The sky has been bled (at dawn) and Sothis lives, because I, King Unas, I am a living one, the son of Sothis, for
whom the Dual Ennead have cleaned the imperishable Striker. My house in the sky will not end. My throne of the
Two Lands on Earth will not end.
Men hide, (but) the gods fly away !
Sothis has flown me to the sky into the company of my brothers the gods. Nut the great has uncovered her arms
for me. The Two Bas, who are at the head of the Bas of Iunu (Heliopolis), who attend on Re, have bowed
themselves, they who spend the night making this mourning for the god.
My seat is with You, O Re, and I will give it to nobody else. I will ascend to the sky to You, O Re, for my face is
that of falcons, my wings are those of birds, my talons are the fangs of Him of Atfet.
