[3] In Chapter 1.1 of the Left Ginza, Shilmai plays the role of Abatur as a matarta guardian during Shitil's ascent to the World of Light.
Left Ginza 1.1 describes Shilmai as such:[3] ... the purgatory of Šilmai, the man, a ganzibra, who holds the poles of radiance (ḏ-sikia ḏ-ziua) in his hand, and the keys of kušṭa (u-qlidia ḏ-kušṭa) upon his arms (ʿl trin draiia).
Upon reaching his father, Yathrun, who had never been angry before, is initially enraged at the sight of Shilmai but is calmed down by his 362 uthra disciples.
Shilmai provides the answer about the impermanence of the material universe, that the earth, sky, sun, moon, stars, elements, Ruha and her entourage will all cease to exist at the end of times.
When he admits that he had obtained the answer from the uthra Hibil Ziwa, Shilmai is rejected by his father and is unable to enter the World of Light.
