Transliterated Text:

at fravaxshyâ anghêush ahyâ vahishtem
ashât hacâ mazdâ vaêdâ ýê îm dât
patarêm vanghêush varezayañtô mananghô
at hôi dugedâ hushyaothanâ ârmaitish
nôit diwzhaidyâi vîspâ-hishas ahurô.

Translated Text:

Now, I shall proclaim the best in this life,
which, I know through righteousness, the Wise One gave.
He is the patron of active good mind,
and the good-working serenity is His creation.
The all-watching Lord cannot be deceived.

Commentary:

The fourth point, the best one to know in this life, is that Mazda is the creator of both good mind and serenity—two principles which are essential to promote a righteous way of life. As such, Zarathushtra realized this fact through the Universal Law of Righteousness. Zarathushtra reminds us that Ahura Mazda is watching all and is in full contact with the creation. Nothing can go undetected. It is futile on part of some who think they can deceive God—a practice among polytheists.

Pondering Point:

“Ahura Mazda established the fundamental laws of existence so that all life could progress to perfection and be like Him”
