Transliterated Text:

tat môi vîcidyâi vaocâ
hyat môi ashâ dâtâ vahyô
vîduyê vohû mananghâ
mêñcâ daidyâi ýehyâ-mâ ereshish
tâcît mazdâ ahurâ
ýâ nôit vâ anghat anghaitî vâ.

Translated Text:

Speak to me so that I can discern
what has been made better with righteousness,
and know and realize through good mind
what has been granted to me as a seer.
Also, Wise Lord, the things
that will and will not happen.

Commentary:

Already enlightened, Zarathushtra continues to seek more divine guidance to fully realize his part as a seer determined to lead the living. He wants enough knowledge and experience to be able to foresee the future—possibilities and impossibilities.

Pondering Point:

“Increased enlightenment is necessary to wisely foresee the potential outcomes of future events and to know what to embark on and what to avoid.”
