In Mandaeism, Nbaṭ (Classical Mandaic: ࡍࡁࡀࡈ, lit. 'Sprout') is an uthra (angel or guardian) who is described as the "King of Air" or the "first great Radiance." He is also called Nbaṭ Rba ("the Great Nbaṭ" or "Great Sprout"[1]) or Nbaṭ Ziwa "the Radiant Nbaṭ", literally "Radiance Burst Forth".[2]: 2 In The Thousand and Twelve Questions , he is also known as Kušṭa Yaqra "Solemn Truth".[3]
Right Ginza Book 14 is named after Nbaṭ and is called the Book of the Great Nbaṭ. The book considers Nbaṭ to be the initial "sprout" that had sprung out during the beginning of the creation of the universe, and also depicts the uthra Yawar as having emerged from Nbaṭ during the creation.[6]
Nbaṭ is also mentioned in Qolasta prayers 22, 25, 374, and 376.[7]
In The Thousand and Twelve Questions, Nbat is described as the "Father of uthras, the Celestial King of Light."[8] He is also mentioned as the father of Shishlam (Drower 1960: 113-114)[8] and as the father of Hibil Ziwa (Drower 1960: 158).
