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).
