________________ पंचम अध्याय : १५ ordinate. When the spiritual culture of Egypt began to decline, the later Pharaohs began to call themselves the son of Osiris or living Osiris.? Osiris was the highest spiritual saint of Egypt and after his death, another such personage occupied his seat. The cult of Osiris was the most important cult in Egypt because it belonged to all the classes from the highest to the lowest. 5. Egyptian Shramanic Tenets : Osiris, by practice and precept, taught the people of Egypt certain basic truths. When the individual at his death went before Osiris, he claimed a better future life because he had lived according to the way taught by him. That basic way contains fundamental truths which I classify as follows : 8— 1. Tenets of Non-Violence 1. I have not slain. 2. I have not given orders to slay. 3. I have not ill-treated animals. 4. I have not driven cattle from their pastures. 5. I have not hunted the birds. 6. I have not caught fish in the marshes. 7. I did not take away food. 8. I have not made any one weep. 9. I have not done violence to the poor. 10. I have not made anyone sick. 11. I have not made anyone suffer. 12. I did not stir up strife. 13. My voice was not very loud. 14. I was not an eaves-dropper. 15. I have not held up the water in the season. 16. I have not dammed running water. 17. I have not put out a fire that should have stayed a light. II. Tenets of Truth 18. I did not speak lies. 19. I did not make falsehood in the place of truth. 20. I was not deaf to truthful words. 21. I did not multiply words in speaking. 22. My mouth did not wag. 23. I did the truth (or righteousness) in the land of Egypt. III. Tenets of Non-Stealing 24. I did not steal. 25. I did not steal temple endowment and property. 26. I have not stolen the cattle of Gods. 27. I did not diminish food in the temple. * * Spe IIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!1111111 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII U TEBUTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII BORBOISE OIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiii.......
