Translated Text:

Put down fury, check violence, you who wish to strengthen
the promotion of good mind through righteousness,
because a progressive man is associated with this.
Lord, his associates are in Your abode.

Commentary:

Zarathushtra addresses his companions, wanting them to curb anger and check violence, the two main causes of harm and injury, war and bloodshed in the living world. It is through the elimination of these two basic wrongs that people can strengthen the good mind through adhering to the Universal Law of Righteousness. They ought to do this because they are being led by a progressive person—Zarathushtra—to where one feels the divine presence and dwells in the divine abode.

Pondering Point:

“Bind down your fury and violence if you wish to enjoy the presence of the Good Mind and Ahura Mazda.”
