Shumhata

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 Qulasta,[2] which was based on manuscript 53 of the Drower Collection (abbreviated DC 53).[3]
