Song 4.16 (Yasna 31.16)
Transliterated Text:
peresâ avat ýathâ hvô ýê hudânush demanahyâ xshathrem shôithrahyâ vâ dah'yêush vâ ashâ fradathâi asperezatâ thwâvãs mazdâ ahurâ ýadâ hvô anghat ýâ-shyaothanascâ.
Translated Text:
I ask this: How does a munificent person, who strives for promoting the power of house, district, or land with righteousness, becomes, Wise Lord, like You, and by what deeds?
Summary Substance:
Who but the person who promotes house, district or land—uniting units of human society—with his and her righteous acts, grows into a godlike being? Again an answering question!
Pondering Point:
“Promotion of human society makes one divine.”
