死者は生者を凌駕することになる<ref>Dalley, 1989, page155</ref><ref>Brandão, 2019, p13</ref>。</blockquote>
門番（アッカド語版では名前は不明<ref>Dalley, 1989, page155</ref>）は急いでエレシュキガルにイシュタルの到着を伝える。エレシュキガルは、イシュタルを中に入れるよう命じるが、「古代の儀式に従って彼女を扱うように」と告げる<ref>Dalley, 1989, page156</ref>。門番はイシュタルを冥界に入れ、門を一つずつ開けていく<ref>Dalley, 1989, page156</ref>。各ゲートで、イシュタルは服を一枚脱ぐことを強いられる。ようやく7つ目の門をくぐったときには、彼女は裸になっていた<ref>Dalley, 1989, pages156–157</ref>。
The gatekeeper (whose name is not given in the Akkadian version) hurries to tell Ereshkigal of Ishtar's arrival. Ereshkigal orders him to let Ishtar enter, but tells him to "treat her according to the ancient rites". The gatekeeper lets Ishtar into the underworld, opening one gate at a time. At each gate, Ishtar is forced to shed one article of clothing. When she finally passes the seventh gate, she is naked.{{sfn|Dalley|1989|pages=156–157}} In a rage, Ishtar throws herself at Ereshkigal, but Ereshkigal orders her servant [[Namtar]] to imprison Ishtar and unleash sixty diseases against her.{{sfn|Dalley|1989|page=157-158}}
After Ishtar descends to the underworld, all sexual activity ceases on earth.{{sfn|Dalley|1989|pages=158–160}}{{Sfn|Brandão|2019|pp=15-16}} The god [[Papsukkal]], the Akkadian counterpart to Ninshubur,{{sfn|Bertman|2003|page=124}} reports the situation to [[Enki|Ea]], the god of wisdom and culture.{{sfn|Dalley|1989|pages=158–160}} Ea creates an [[androgynous]] being called Asu-shu-namir and sends them to Ereshkigal, telling them to invoke "the name of the great gods" against her and to ask for the bag containing the waters of life. Ereshkigal becomes enraged when she hears Asu-shu-namir's demand, but she is forced to give them the water of life. Asu-shu-namir sprinkles Ishtar with this water, reviving her. Then, Ishtar passes back through the seven gates, receiving one article of clothing back at each gate, and exiting the final gate fully clothed.{{sfn|Dalley|1989|pages=158–160}}
