Transliterated Text:

tat thwâ peresâ eresh-môi vaocâ ahurâ
kasnâ deretâ zãmcâ adê nabåscâ
avapastôish kê apô urvaråscâ
kê vâtâi dvãnmaibyascâ ýaoget âsû
kasnâ vanghêush mazdâ dãmish mananghô.

Translated Text:

This I ask You, tell me truly, Lord.
Who holds the earth below,
who keeps the sky from breaking away?
Who creates the waters and who the plants?
Who lends the wind and clouds speed?
Who is the creator, Wise One, of good mind?

Commentary:

‘Answering questions’ and ‘searching knowledge’ continue to the topic of who controls the earth below and the sky above; who created water and vegetation; and who moves the wind and clouds… Ahura, the Being. And who created good mind? Mazda, the Super-intellect.

Pondering Point:

“Zarathushtra’s thought-provoking teachings promote the necessity of empirical evidence.”
