Hitpun
In Mandaean cosmology, Hiṭpun (Hiṭfun) or Hiṭpon (Hiṭfon) is a great dividing river separating the World of Darkness from the World of Light.[1] It is mentioned in Hymn 25 of the third book of the Left Ginza.[2] The river of Hiṭfon is analogous to the river Styx in Greek mythology and Hubur in Mesopotamian mythology.
