Translated Text:

Now as a dedication, I, Zarathushtra
offer to the Wise One
the very life-breath of myself
and the first fruits of my good mind,
deeds and words, gained through righteousness,
with my ear to the divine voice; in fact, my whole strength.

Commentary:

At the end of his meditating prayers, Zarathushtra makes an offering to Mazda: His very life; the fruits of his thoughts, words, and deeds based on wise righteousness; listening to divine guidance; and all the power he has—to serve his divine mission.

Pondering Point:

“Throughout his life, Zarathushtra dedicated himself to Lord Wisdom and the perfection of reality; so too should we all.”
