Translated Text:

Just as a wise and powerful man helps his friend,
Wise One, give me Your enlightening support,
ensuing from righteousness through Your dominion.
I shall, then, motivate and lead those loyal to the teachings
and all those who remember Your thought-provoking message.

Commentary:

Zarathushtra knows Mazda as his wise and powerful friend, and asks for enlightening support—a support that comes from righteousness, the universal law of precision and the divine dominion of order and peace. Enjoying the blessings, Zarathushtra wants to lead his companions and every person who comprehends the Divine Message to the ultimate goal.

Pondering Point:

“With the enlightening support of Lord Wisdom, the thought-provoking divine message shall reach those who seek for truth.”
