Let the Yâtus be crushed, O Zarathustra! both Daêvas and men. Who is he in whose house, O Spitama Zarathustra every Drug is destroyed, every Drug perishes, when he pronounces these words:

It is he who takes the seven Amesha-Spentas, the all-ruling, the all-beneficent, as a shield' against his enemies. We worship the Law of the worshippers of Mazda; we worship the waters coming in the shape of a horse, made by Mazda.

He has renounced trespasses and faults, O Zarathustra! he has renounced all trespasses and faults, O Zarathustra! when he throws down the destroyer of Vohu-Manô and his words, with a hundred times hundredfold, with a many times manifold preaching and smiting, and he takes away the Law of Mazda, that was carried away as a prisoner, from the hands of the [ungodly], who are destroyed by his strength. Ashem Voht: Holiness is the best of all good....
