TIR YAST |
Look at the start of the Aban Yast to understand the "Gifts imparted to Men" by the Stars, as mentioned below here.
I
Thus
Ahura Mazda
spoke
to
Zarathustra
:
“My
glorious
Stars
come along
and
impart their
gifts to
Men.”
[And Zarathustra spoke:]
II "Let
us offer up
invocation to the
bright and
glorious
Stars,
which
give
happy
dwelling
and
good
dwelling !
III
The white,
shining, far
seen
Stars, that are so
piercing,
Health-bringing, high,
so far
piercing -
with
their
shining rays :
for their
Brightness and
Glory
I shall
offer to them
a
![]()
sacrifice !
IV
To the
bright and
glorious
Stars,
we
offer up an Invocation :
with
Haoma, with
Wisdom of the Tongue, with
Holy Spells, with
Speech and
Deeds
and
with rightly spoken
Words
we do
sacrifice to the
bright and
glorious
Stars
that
fly towards the
Sea
as
swiftly as the arrow darts
through
heavenly
Space.
V
We
invoke the bright and
glorious
Stars, that
stand out
beautiful,
spreading
Comfort and
Joy on
the fertile
Countries, as they
commune within Themselves.”
[And Ahura Mazda spoke:]
VI
"If only
men would
invoke
Me
with a
![]()
![]()
sacrifice, in
which
I would be
invoked
by
My Name,
then
I
should
come to the faithful at
the appointed
time.
VII
Then
I would
come at the appointed
time : with
my
beautiful,
immortal Life,
be it
one
night, or two, or fifty, or
be it a hundred
nights."
[And Zarathustra spoke:]
VIII
“
We
sacrifice to the
Stars
,
that were
made by
Mazda !
X
"Hail !"
the bright and
glorious
stars
cry : "
Hail to You, o
Waters and
Plants !
Hail will it be unto
You, o
You
Lands !"
X
"The
Life of the
waters
will
flow down unrestrained
:
towards the big-seeded
corn-fields,
towards the small-seeded
pasture-fields,
and
towards the whole
of the
Earthly
World
it will
flow
.
XI
Then the bright and
glorious
Stars do
go back down
to the
Sea.
He
makes that
the
Sea does
boil up and
down,
He
makes that
the
Sea does
stream this
way and that way. And the bright and
glorious
Stars
rise up from
the
Sea, XII
and
Vapors
rise up from
the
Vales of
the
Mountains. Then the
Vapors
push forward
in the regular forms of
![]()
Clouds ;
pursued by the
Wind
along
the Trail of
Haoma - who makes the
World
increase.
XIII
The
mighty
Wind does
follow
behind - the
Wind
which was made by
Mazda and the
Rain with the
Cloud
,
showering down to all the different
places :
down to the
Fields,
down to the seven
Kingdoms
of Earth.
XIV
We
invoke the bright and
glorious
Stars that
move along
their winding
course, from the shining
East , along the
path
which was made by the
godly creatures, along the
way
which was appointed
for
them, the
watery way, according to the
Will of
Ahura Mazda, the
Will of the
Ahuras.
XV
We
sacrifice unto the bright and
glorious
Stars, whose
rising is
watched by
men
who
live on the
fruits of the Year, by
men of deep
understanding.
XVI
We
invoke the bright and
glorious
Stars, for whom the
standing Waters and the
running spring Waters, the
Stream Waters and the
Rain-Waters
are yearning .
XVII
When will the bright and
glorious
Stars
rise up for
us ?
When will the
Springs, with a
flow and an
overflow of
Waters,
run to the
beautiful places and to the
fields, to the
Pasture and even to the
roots of the
Plants, that they may
grow with a
powerful
growth ?
XVIII
We
invoke the bright and
glorious
Stars that
wash away ![]()
all things of
fear and
bring
health to all
![]()
Creations.
XIX
I will
sacrifice to the bright and
glorious
Stars,
which
Ahura Mazda has
established
in Infinite
Space.
XX
We
sacrifice to those bright and
glorious
Stars, to
which
Ahura Mazda has
given
a
thousand senses, and
which are the most
beneficent amongst the
Stars, that
have within
themselves the
Seed of Life and of
Water.
XXI
We
sacrifice to the bright and
glorious
Stars, for which all the
Creatures of
Mazda are
longing : those that live under the
ground and
those that
live above it ; those that live in the
Waters and those that live on dry
Land ; those that
fly and those
that run in the
plains ; and all those that live in the
Waters and those that live on dry
land : those that
fly and those
that run in the
Plains ; and all
those that live within this
boundless and
endless
World of the Holy
ASHA.”
