(1832–3 A.D.), contains six texts: *''Å arḥ á¸-ahaba á¸-mania b-iuma á¸- paruanaiia'' *''ApriÅ¡ata á¸-ahaba á¸-mania'' *''Å arḥ á¸-ahaba á¸-mania á¸-tarmida Ê¿u ganzibra kḠnapiq'' *''Å arḥ á¸-á¹abahata qria b-Å¡uma á¸-gabrauÊ¿nta'' *''Å arḥ á¸-dukrana á¸-Å¡umaiia'' *''Å arḥ á¸- zidqa brika á¸- paruanaiia'' Ṭabahata Masiqta The Ṭabahata Masiqta, or the "masiqta of the Parents", is held only once a year during the Parwanaya intercalary festival.

Holy Water
Holy water is water that has been blessed by a member of the clergy or a religious figure, or derived from a well or spring considered holy. The use for cleansing prior to a baptism and spiritual cleansing is common in several religions, from Christianity to Sikhism.

Masiqta
The masiqta () is a mass or ritual practiced in the Mandaean religion in order to help guide the soul ('' niÅ¡imta'') towards the World of Light in Mandaean cosmology. They are typically performed as funerary rites for Mandaeans who have just died. Although usually translated as "death mass", a few types of ''masiqta'' are also performed for living people, such as when priests are ordained. Masiqtas are also used to consecrate houses of worship ('' bit manda''). Purpose The complex ritual involves guiding the soul through the '' maá¹arta'', or toll houses located between the Earth ( Tibil) and the World of Light, which are guarded by various uthras and demons. A successful masiqta merges the incarnate soul ( ; roughly equivalent to the '' psyche'' or " ego" in Greek philosophy) and spirit ( ; roughly equivalent to the ''pneuma'' or "breath" in Greek philosophy) from the Earth ( Tibil) into a new merged entity in the World of Light called the ''Ê¿uá¹£á¹una''.

Mambuha
In Mandaeism, mambuha (), sometimes spelled mambuga (), is sacramental drinking water used in rituals such as the masbuta (baptism). The mambuha can be served in a ''kapta'' (pronounced ''kafta''), a shallow brass drinking bowl that is 11 inches or less in perimeter, or in a ''qanina'' (glass bottle).Drower, Ethel Stefana. 1937. ''The Mandaeans of Iraq and Iran''. Oxford At The Clarendon Press. Traditionally, mambuha is taken directly from the ''yardna'' (river, i.e. the Euphrates, Tigris, or Karun rivers), but the Mandaean diaspora often uses treated tap water. Prayers Various prayers in the ''Qulasta'', including prayers s:Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 33, 33, s:Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 44, 44, s:Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 45, 45, s:Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 60, 60, and s:Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 82, 82, are recited during the drinking of the ''mambuha''.
