Transliterated Text:
ýê vâ xshayãs adãs drîtâ ayañtem urvâtôish vâ huzêñtush mithrôibyô vâ rashnâ jvãs ýê ashavâ dregvañtem vîcirô hãs tat frô hvaêtavê mruyât uzûithyôi îm mazdâ xrûnyât ahurâ.
Translated Text:
A powerful person, a noble man, as a rule of a contract, welcomes a new comer. He, as a righteous person, is a man of principle. The other (new comer) is a wrongful man. He should, therefore, decide and share the matter with his family. This will, Wise Lord, save him from any violation.
Summary Substance:
Zarathushtra then relates an experience of a person of principle, who enjoying enough power, is approached by some one seeking aid. He is received as a guest, and hospitality is extended to him. However, it turns out that the guest is a wrongful person, and, as such, the possibility of violence and harm arises. It is then necessary to share this matter with every family members in order to arrive at a peaceful solution.
Pondering Point:
“You should always help a person in need, if able, unless you realize they are deceitful.”
