Bundahishn 32

On the kindred of Pôrûshasp, son of Pattirâsp, son of Aurvadasp, son of Hâêkadâsp, son of Kakhshnus, son of Pâîtîrasp, son of Hardarsn, son of Hardâr, son of Spitâmân, son of Vidast, son of Ayazem, son of Ragan, son of Dûrâsrôb, son of Mânûskihar.

As Pattirâsp had two sons, one Pôrushasp and one Årâsti, by Pôrushasp was Zaratůst begotten for a sanctuary of good religion, and by Årâsti was Medyôk-mâh " begotten.

Zaratûst, when he brought the religion, first celebrated worship' and expounded in Atrân-veg, and Medyôk-mâh received the religion from him.

The Môbads of Pârs are all traced back to this race of Mânuskihar.

Again, I say, by Zaratust were begotten three sons and three daughters; one son was Isadvâstar, one Aûrvatad-nar, and one Khurshed-kthar'; as Isadvâstar was chief of the priests he became the Môbad of Môbads, and passed away in the hundredth year of the religion; Aûrvatad-nar was an agriculturist, and the chief of the enclosure formed by Yim, which is below the earth; Khurshed-kthar was a warrior, commander of the army of Pêshyôtanu, son of Vistâsp, and dwells in Kangdez; and of the three daughters the name of one was Frên, of one Srit, and of one Pôrukist.

Aûrvatad-nar and Khurshed-kihar were from a serving (kakar) wife, the rest were from a privileged (pâdakhshah) wife.

By Isadvâstar was begotten a son whose name was Ururviga, and they call him Arang-i Birâdân (*fore-arm of brothers') for this reason, that, as they were from a serving wife, she then delivered them over to Isadvâstar through adoption.

This, too, one knows, that three sons of Zaratust, namely, Hushêdar, Hushêdar-mâh, and Sôshyans, were from Hvôv; as it says, that Zaratust went near unto Hvôv three times, and each time the seed went to the ground; the angel Nêryôsang received the brilliance and strength of that seed, delivered it with care to the angel Anâhid, and in time will blend it with a mother.

Nine thousand, nine hundred, and ninety-nine, and nine myriads of the guardian spirits of the righteous are intrusted with its protection, so that the demons may not injure it.

The name of the mother of Zaratust was Dughdâ, and the name of the father of the mother of Zaratust was Frahimravâ º. o. The family of the Môbads ('priests').
