his soul, breaks out into a song of triumph. He declares 
himself to be identical with the great gods, and likens the 
members of his body to those of the gods to whom they are 
dedicated, and by whom they are protected. He even boasts 
that he has the strength of Typhon, whom he has overthrown, 
and thus he declares his members to be dedicated, and equal, 
to those of the following deities

There is not a

(the Osirian) without a god. 
He it is who comes out 
sound 
: immortal is his name. He 
dies not again. He is escaped from all evil things. He is
