Chapter 16
In the same time that Anuhasaj was delivered out of hell, so was Anubi, and from the self-same knot. And he was carried on the same calyos to Hao-yusta, the same heavenly place. And he was also in chaos, knowing nothing, only screaming: I am not Anubi. I am not the Savior. I am plain Chesota! (his real name).
And he also did not see and did not hear, but was wild, desiring to fly away. And they held him fast, and, in the same way they delivered Anuhasaj to reason, they also delivered Chesota.
And when both of them were well restored to sound reason, though still timorous, Ahura took them in his own otevan and carried them to Theovrahkistan, before Lika, for judgment. And great was the time when they came; and especially the desire of the inhabitants to look upon Anuhasaj, the most audacious God that had ever dwelt on the earth or in her heavens, and, as well, the much-loved friend of Ahura.
When they came before the throne of Jehovih and duly saluted, Lika said: Where do you come from and for what purpose, O my beloved?
Ahura said: Hell has delivered up the bound. My friends are before you. Then Lika said: In Jehovih’s name, welcome. Whatever the Father puts into your souls, utter it and be assured of His love, wisdom and power.
Anuhasaj said: That I am delivered out of hell it is well; that I was delivered into hell it was well likewise. Give me Jehovih’s judgment. My purpose before you is to register my vows to Jehovih, so that my record and your just judgment may be carried to the heavens above.
Lika said: My judgment upon you, Anuhasaj, is that you shall judge yourself!
Anuhasaj said: Most righteous judgment, O Jehovih! (And then speaking to Lika:) But do you not know Jehovih’s voice?
Lika said: You asked for a great heavenly kingdom. Behold, Jehovih gave it to you. As soon as order is restored, you shall have your kingdom again.
Anuhasaj said: I do not want it.
Lika said: You shall not say, I want this or that; but say that you will do whatever Jehovih has given into your hands. When you have raised up your whole kingdom, behold, you will also be raised up.
Anuhasaj said: Alas me, this is also just. Show me the way; I will labor from this time forth for the billions who were my kingdom.
Lika now bade Chesota (Anubi) to speak. Chesota said: I called myself Master of the Scales and Savior of men. Whoever called on me, worshipping me and De’yus, alias the Lord God, I accepted; whoever did not worship me, or De’yus, or the Lord God, I cast into hell, saying: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting torments.
What, then, O Lika, shall be my judgment? For, behold, I cast a billion into torments.
Lika said: Judge yourself.
Chesota said: Alas, the pains I gave can never be called back and undone. Have I, then, no hope?
Lika said: Whom you have pained, go to, and by your good deeds done to them after this, so win their love that they will call you blessed! When all of them have accepted you, behold, it shall be well with you.
Chesota said: O endless task! And yet, it is just. Teach me, then, O Lika, how to carry out this great judgment.
Lika then asked for Anuhasaj to come forward and be crowned; and when he approached the foot of the throne Lika came down and said: Anuhasaj, Son of Jehovih, I crown you God of Hao-yusta in Jehovih’s name, to His service forever. Be with him, O Jehovih, in wisdom, love and power.
Anuhasaj said: Into Your service, O Jehovih, I commit myself forever! Give me of Your love, wisdom and power so that I may glorify You and Your kingdoms.
Lika stretched up his hand, saying: Light of Your light, crown of Your crown, O Jehovih! And the light was formed in his hand, and a crown came out of the light, and Lika placed it on Anuhasaj’s head. The latter then sat down on the foot of the throne, and Lika took his hand, saying: Arise, O God, and go your way, and the Father be with you!
With that, Anuhasaj and Chesota saluted and stood aside. And then Ahura saluted and stood aside also; after which Lika granted a day of recreation, during which time the visiting Gods departed for Hao-yusta.
