âhû at paitî adâhû
mazdâ ahurâ mazdãmchâ
bûirichâ kereshvâ râitî tôi
xrapaitî ahmat hyat aibî,
hyat mîzhdem mavaêthem fradadâthâ
daênâbyô mazdâ ahurâ.

Translated Text:

Among these rewards,
Wise Lord, there is "higher intellect" also.
Make it stronger by Your favor,
so that it becomes adequate.
That reward You gave us people
for the consciences, Wise Lord.

Commentary:

Of all the good things granted by Ahura Mazda, “higher intellect” (the word used is literaly “mazdâ”) is outstanding. The congregation prays that this reward be strengthened so that it becomes a part of human promotion. It is a gift that polishes one’s conscience.

Pondering Point:

“The highest reward which Ahura Mazda grants is the strengthening of wisdom and intellect, so that people may more properly understand existence.”
