Royal Matches: Anu vs Alalu
Anu vs Alalu: Match 1 - Nibiru
"The strong and wise Anu, foremost among the princes, was standing before him.
He would bow to Alalu's feet, set the drinking cup in Alalu's hand.
For nine counted periods Alalu was king on Nibiru.
In the ninth Shar, Anu gave battle to Alalu.
To hand-to-hand combat, with bodies naked, Alalu he challenged. Let the winner be king, Anu said.
They grappled with each other in the public square; doorposts trembled and walls shook.
Alalu bent his knee; to the ground he fell on his chest.
Alalu in combat was defeated; by acclaim Anu was hailed as king.
Anu to the palace was escorted; Alalu to the palace did not return.
From the crowds he stealthily escaped; of dying like Lahmu he was fearful.
Unbeknownst to others, to the place of the celestial chariots he hurriedly went.

Anu vs Alalu: Match 2 - Earth
"Forward toward Anu Alalu stepped. A grave matter has been forgotten! he shouted.
The mastery of Earth to me was allotted; that was the promise when the gold finds to Nibiru I announced!
Nor have I the claim to Nibiru's throne forsaken,
By Anu to share all with his sons, it is a grave abomination!
Thus did Alalu Anu and the decisions challenge.
Without words was Anu in the beginning, then with anger he spoke up:
By a second wrestling let our dispute be decided, let us the wrestling do here, let us do it now!
With disdain Alalu took off his clothing; likewise did Anu unrobe.
In nakedness did the two royals begin to grapple, a mighty struggle it was.
Alalu bent his knee, to the ground Alalu fell;
Anu on the chest of Alalu with his foot pressed down, victory in the wrestling therby declaring.
By wrestling the decision was made; I am the king, to Nibiru Alalu shall not return!
So was Anu saying as he removed his foot from the fallen Alalu.
Up as lighting Alalu from the ground arose. By the legs Anu he pulled down.
His mouth was wide open, swiftly he the malehood of Anu bit off,
The malehood of Anu did Alalu swallow!
In pained agony did Anu a cry to the heavens shout, to the ground wounded he fell.
Enki to the fallen Anu rushed, Enlil the laughing Alalu captive held.
Heroes Anu to his hut carried, words of accursation against Alalu he uttered.
