Prayer in Mandaeism
The Shumhata (Classical Mandaic: ࡔࡅࡌࡄࡀࡕࡀ, romanized: Šumhata, lit. 'Names') is one of the most commonly recited prayers in Mandaeism.[1]
The rushma is numbered as Prayer 173 in E. S. Drower's version of the Qolasta,[2] which was based on manuscript 53 of the Drower Collection (abbreviated DC 53).[3]
Like the Asiet Malkia, the Shumhata is a litany which lists following the names (in Drower's 1959 version).[2]
- Hayyi Rabbi and Manda d-Hayyi
- aina (well-spring)
- sindirka (date palm or sandarac[4] tree)
- Shishlam Rabba
- Zlat
- Yawar
- Simat Hayyi
- Yukabar
- Mana and his counterpart
- Great Mystery, the mystic Word
- S'haq Ziwa
- Sam
