Transliterated Text:

ýê môi ashât haithîm hacâ vareshaitî
zarathushtrâi hyat vasnâ ferashôtemem
ahmâi mîzhdem haneñtê parâhûm
manê vistâish mat vîspâish gâvâ azî
tâcît môi sãs tvêm mazdâ vaêdishtô.

Translated Text:

Whoever truly accomplishes through righteousness
the complete renovation of life for me, Zarathushtra,
as is the will of the Lord, deserves the desired future-life
in a fruitful living world as a reward.
This is what You, the most-knowing Wise One, have taught me.

Commentary:

The mission, earlier endangered by priests and princes, is satisfactorily successful. The number of Zarathushtra’s companions is swelling. He wants them to undergo a complete change, leave superstitions, leave prescriptive bonds that check progress, renovate life, and to keep righteously modern. That is what Mazda, the most-knowing Being, wishes them to accomplish. It means the ideal life one desires. It is a reward in a world which is laden with the fruit of good deeds. It is this God-willing renovation that Zarathushtra has learned through his divine inspiration.

Pondering Point:

“Aid in the renovation of existence; your actions to this end will accumulate your rewards.”
