| Song 5.8 (Yasna 32.8) |
“Do not pass judgment on another without insight into the circumstances.”Regarding these crimes,
it is said that Yima son of Vivanhan
also sounded himself the god of our world.
For such a crime too,
as far as I am concerned,
the final judgement lies with You.

| Song 5.9 (Yasna 32.9) |
“False teachers prevent the people of the world from reason and good thinking.”The evil teacher destroys with his teachings
the doctrine of the wisdom of life.
He prevents people
from the precious acquisition of good mind.
I appeal to You, Wise Lord, and to Righteousness,
expressing my mind in words.

“False teachers give power to unethical people and encourage destruction and violence.”Indeed, he devastates the doctrine
who considers it the worst to look
at the world and the sun with plain eyes,
who sets the just against the wrongful,
who destroys settlements,
and who hurls a deadly weapon at the righteous.

“Unethical people in positions of power will do all they can to distract you from using the best thinking.”Also they devastate life
who highly regard the wrongful
as lords and ladies,
rob people of their property,
and try hard to distract the righteous
from their best mind.

“False teachings lead to greed and motivate evil people to commit unethical acts to amass more riches at the expense of others.”It is through such teachings
that they try to distract mortals
from excellent deeds.
For them, the Wise One has decreed ill consequences,
because they devastate worldly life in luxury.
It is for this reason that grabbing priests have chosen
the wrong dominion of the wealthy instead of righteousness.

“The deceitful who steal, swindle, and manipulate are trapped in an awful state of consciousness which prevents them from seeing Truth or righteousness.”It is because of such power
that the grabbers of this life
wish to gain their spoils in the house of worst mind.
And they, Wise Lord, who, in their lust,
growl about the message of Your thought-provoker,
lust, in turn, prevents them from seeing righteousness.

“Greed will blind many people by setting their minds on committing evil to amass wealth.”Seizing such spoils,
even the sagacious princes
have long been devoting their minds and efforts.
They have, thus, resorted to help the wrongful.
Fired by the wisdom-wasting drink,
they have declared that the world must be destroyed.

| Song 5.15 (Yasna 32.15) |
“Evil actions committed to gain wealth are self-destructive, as in the end the oppressed will overthrow the greedy wrongdoers.”It is with such actions
that the ritualistic priests and princes are annihilated
through the very people,
whom they have deprived of the power to live as they wish.
Of these two parties,
the latter will be taken to the house of good mind.

“Listen to the counsels of the wise and talented people in your life.”Every teaching of the talented
is the best to listen to.
Wise Lord, I am powerful enough
to meet the two-fold threats,
and restrain the crime of the wrongful
directed against friends.
