Le master of the universe said: “When I came into existence, then existence manifested. I came into existence in the form of Khepri, thus came into existence for the First Time. So I came into existence in the form of Khepri, and so I existed. This is how existence manifested, because I was prior to the prior gods, whose creation I assumed. I was prior to the prior gods, my name was prior to theirs. I made the anteriority and the anterior gods.
I did everything I wanted to do on this earth and expanded into it. I tied my hand, me the solitary, before they were born, for I had not yet spat out Shu, nor coughed up Tefnut; I trained my own mouth, and Magic being my name, I was He-who-expectore. I came into existence in my form, I came into existence in my form of Khepri. I came into existence in Anteriority; then came into being a multitude of forms in the First Era, none of which had yet manifested on this earth.
I accomplish all my work being solitary, without any other existing who can act with me in this place. I created the forms thanks to this supreme force which is in me; I assembled things being in the Nouou, like a still drowsy being, for I had not found a place to stand. Then efficiency was born in my heart, and the plan of creation presented itself to my gaze. So I accomplish all my work being solitary? I made a plan in my heart, then created other forms, and the forms which I caused to manifest were innumerable; their children then came into existence in their childish forms. It was I who spat out Shu and expectorated Tefnut; I had come into existence, a solitary god, and now three gods belonged to me, after the two twin gods had come into existence on this earth.
