Song 11.5 (Yasna 46.5)

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.”

ZARATHUSHTRIAN ASSEMBLY

Zarathushtrian Assembly was founded by a group of visionary Zoroastrians in 1990 to create a progressive platform for people of all backgrounds, regardless of current religious belief, world view, national origin, ethnicity, or personal interpretation of Zoroastrianism, to study the philosophy and teachings of Zoroaster (Zarathushtra), as taught in the Gathas (his thought-provoking mantras).
