vasê-xshayãs mazdå dâyât ahurô

ashem deredyâi tat môi då ârmaitî

Translated Text:

May the Wise, Ruling-at-will Lord
grant radiant happiness to the person
who radiates happiness to any other person at large.
I pray for steadfast strength and courage
in order to uphold righteousness.
Grant me through serenity
the blessings of a rich life of good mind.

Commentary:

The Wise God rules at his will, a will that grants radiant happiness to whosoever gives radiating happiness to others without discrimination. All joining to create a healthy healthy and happy happy world. Zarathushtra wants steadfast strength and courage not for physical power but to serve righteousness. And he wants stability that produces a rich life based on good mind—a blessing to live, a life to spread happiness, a happiness that is shared by all.

Pondering Point:

“True happiness radiates happiness onto others and enriches all lives.”
