Translated Text:

Ferashaoshtra Hvagva, go with your companions there
where, as we both wish, radiant happiness pervades,
where serenity accompanies righteousness,
where the rule of good mind prevails,
where the Wise Lord dwells in progress.

Commentary:

In a masterpiece of poetry, Zarathushtra speaks to Ferashaoshtra, a prominent companion and a great teacher, to usher the companions in the world that the Good Religion presents. A place where Ushta, radiant happiness makes all happy and healthy, where serenity and tranquility provide a righteous life, where it is only and only good mind that guides, and where one feels the presence of Mazda Ahura, who is the most progressive. It is the ideal world created by the thought-provoking Message of Zarathushtra through well-thought, well-said, and well-done thoughts, words and deeds. Ferashaoshtra is reported by Pahlavi writers to have become, along with his brother Jamaspa, ministers of King Vishtaspa. The two truly deserved those counselling assignments.

Pondering Point:

“In the progress which Ahura Mazda has given to mortals, there is radiant happiness, peace, prosperity, and mental fulfillment.”
