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]
