aêibyô ýôi urvâtâish drûjô

Translated Text:

Keeping the two principles of Yours in mind,
we shall teach the hitherto unheard words
to those who destroy the righteous world
by their wrongful doctrines.
No doubt, the two principles will prove the best for those
who are devoted to the Wise One.

Commentary:

With the two principles of Good and Evil in view, Zarathushtra and his companions embark on teaching an entirely new doctrine, never heard before. The teachings are particularly meant for those who prove destructive to the life based on righteousness. For those who are already on the right track, the two principles should prove highly useful.

Pondering Point:

“The Zarathushtrian Doctrine is novel, progressive, and aims to guide the wrongful toward the Laws of Existence and reaffirms that the ethical are on the right path.”
