The hero Utu received him smiling, and decreed a fate for Šulgi the good shepherd of Sumer : "King, eloquent and good-looking, mighty hero, born to be a lion, young wild bull standing firm in its vigour, valiant one, unrestrained in his strength, who tramples great mountains underfoot: you have subdued the heroes of the foreign lands, you have trampled upon all the foreign rulers, you have established your name to the ends of the world. Go now in peace to your master Ašimbabbar ." And so he moored the boat at Enegir , the town built in splendour. ( Šulgi speaks:) "Seed placed by the prince in the holy womb, born on the bright mountain, Ninazu , who like a wild bull which lows in its drinking, 8 lines missing or unclear "

O Enegir , great libation pipe, libation pipe to the underworld of Ereškigala , Gudua ( Entrance to the nether world ) of Sumer where mankind is gathered, E-gida (Long house), in the land your shadow has stretched over the princes of the land. Your prince, the seed of the great lord, the sacred one of the great underworld, given birth by Ereškigala , playing loudly on the zanaru instrument, sweet as the voice of a calf, Ninazu of the words of prayer, has erected a house in your precinct, O house Enegir , and taken his seat upon your dais.

Larsam lay ahead of the offerings, Enegir lay behind them. She brought out of the house what should not come out of the house, what should not come out of the house -- the lovely Šerida brought out of the house what should not come out of the house: "Welcome, welcome, welcome, O boat! O boat of my father, welcome, welcome, O boat!"
