Shumhata

Like the Asut Malkia, the Shumhata is a litany which lists following the names (in Drower's 1959 version).^[2] The Mandaic below in parentheses has been transliterated from Al-Mubaraki (2010).^[4]

1. Hayyi Rabbi and Manda d-Hayyi (šuma d̠-hiia u-šuma d̠-manda d̠-hiia madkar ʿlak)
2. aina (well-spring) (šuma d̠-aina rabtia kasita qadmaita madkar ʿlak)
3. sindirka (date palm or sandarac^[5] tree) (šuma d̠-sindirka rba qadmaia madkar ʿlak)
4. Šišlam Rba (šuma d̠-šišlam rba madkar ʿlak)
5. Ezlat Rabtia (šuma d̠-ʿzlat rabtia madkar ʿlak)
6. Yawar Rba (šuma d̠-iauar rba madkar ʿlak)
7. Simat Hiia (šuma d̠-simat hiia madkar ʿlak)
8. Yukabar Rba (šuma d̠-iukabar rba madkar ʿlak)
9. Mana and his counterpart (šuma d̠-mana u-dmuta madkar ʿlak)
10. Great Mystery, the mystic Word (šuma d̠-raza rba pugdama kasia madkar ʿlak)
11. S'haq Ziwa Rba Qadmaia (šuma d̠-shaq ziua rba qadmaia madkar ʿlak)
12. Sam Ziwa (šuma d̠-sam ziua dakia bukra habiba rba qadmaia madkar ʿlak)
13. Hayyi Rabbi and Manda d-Hayyi (second repetition) (šuma d̠-hiia u-šuma d̠-manda d̠-hiia madkar ʿlak)

Each of the names is preceded by "[the] name of" (Classical Mandaic: ࡔࡅࡌࡀ ࡖ, romanized: šuma d̠-) and followed by the phrase "is pronounced upon thee" (Classical Mandaic: ࡌࡀࡃࡊࡀࡓ ࡏࡋࡀࡊ, romanized: madkar ʿlak). This list of names, which is also repeated in the commentary of Prayer 18 of the Qulasta, is followed by a request to be protected from illnesses and misfortunes.^[6]

A similar litany prayer that comes after the Shumhata is the King of Kings (malka d̠-kulhun malkia) prayer, which is Prayer 176 of the Qulasta.
