Translated Text:

The best wish of mine, Zarathushtra Spitama,
has been fulfilled,
because the Wise Lord has, on account of my righteousness,
granted me blessings, both mental and material, and a good life for ever.
Those who hurt me,
have also learned the words and deeds of the Good Conscience.

Commentary:

After concluding his 16th Song with his loving veneration of all his companions, Zarathushtra now expresses his joy at the success of his mission. It is on account of his earnest and righteous way of promoting his Divine Mission that he finds his best wish has come true, the successful esablishing of the Good Religion. He earnestly ascribes his success to divine guidance; he feels happy and content in mind and body knowing he will enjoy a good life forever. He is alive, his very words are heard, and he sees that those who rose against him, hurt him, made him leave his relatives and hometown, and placed obstacles in his way to Vishtaspa’s court—where they then intrigued against him—have now learned the truth. They too have converted to the Good Religion.

Pondering Point:

“Once the Truth is explained fully from a wholistic perspective, opposition fades and success is accomplished.”
