Transliterated Text:

Translated Text:

Grant, O Righteousness, those rewards
which are the gifts of Good Mind.
And you, Serenity, grant
Vishtaspa his wish and mine too.
O Wise One, grant the power through which
we shall successfully proclaim Your thought-provoking message.

Commentary:

Gifts of good mind can only be obtained through righteous deeds and tranquil peace. It would then be the power that enables one to spread the thought-provoking message to all who wish to listen. This is what Zarathushtra prays for.

Pondering Point:

“Desire the intellectual rewards which come from the mind and seek to spread those to others.”
