A spell for not letting a man’s head be cut off from him in the underworld.
Words spoken by the Osiris Ani Ani [sic]:
I am the great one, the son of the great one; I am the fire, son of the fire.
His head was given to him after it was cut off. The head of Osiris is not snatched away from him; may the head of the Osiris Ani not be snatched away from him.
I am fastened together; I am true; I am young. I am Osiris, lord of eternity.
The Papyrus of Ani, Chapter 44
A spell for not dying again in the underworld. Words spoken by the Osiris Ani:
My cavern is open; my cavern is open; the glorified spirits in darkness fall.
The Eye of Horus sanctifies me; the Opener of Ways has nursed me.
I have hidden myself among you, the never-setting stars.
[My] neck is as Ra; my face is open; my heart is on its place atop my mouth which [I] know.
I am Ra, behold, Ra himself.
I am not ignorant of you, I do not injure you.
Your father lives for you, the son of Nut. I am your great son who sees your secrets.
I am crowned as king of the gods; I will not die again in the underworld.
The Papyrus of Ani, Chapter 45
A spell for not rotting in the underworld. Words spoken by the Osiris Ani:
[I am] still, [I am] still, as Osiris. [My] limbs are still as Osiris.

Do for me according as I am Osiris.
If this spell is known, he will not rot in the underworld of Osiris.
The Papyrus of Ani, Chapter 46
A spell for not perishing and for being alive in the underworld. Words spoken by the Osiris Ani:
O children of Shu, of the netherworld which gains mastery over his bandlet among the people,
I have risen up; Osiris rises up.
I am the great one, the son of the great one; I am the fire, son of the fire.
His head was given to him after it was cut off. The head of Osiris is not snatched away from him; may the head of the Osiris Ani not be snatched away from him.
I am fastened together; I am true; I am young. I am Osiris, lord of eternity.
