Stopped reading at "Whake?" (595.3)

A new cycle of life is starting, a new dawn is breaking. As is many mythological stories, a hand from the cloud emerges, holding a chart expanded. A bit of searching on the web also told me that this is depicted on the crest of the Finnegans family as published in the Weekly Irish Times dated 18 July 1936.

Anyway, there is a grand announcement heralding sunrise. With many Sanskrit words mixed in the text, someone (most probably Earwicker) is calling out to the Sun. He says: "Guide us from our house of death through kingdom come to Heliptropolis, city of the sun." The new place will be bright with light.
