SROSH YAST

THE INVOCATION OF THE LAW

[Zarathustra spoke:]

I " We sacrifice to the Holy Sraosha, who makes the World increase*."

 *Makes the world a better place

[Ahura Mazda spoke:]

II "The Law of the followers of ASHA is the truest Giver of  all good things, of all those that are the offspring of the good Principle, which is the Law of  ASHA. III And he who would pronounce that word (Asha), o Zarathustra ! either a man or a woman, with a Mind all intent upon  ASHA, with Words all intent upon  ASHA, with Deeds all intent upon  ASHA, he does not have to fear : by day nor by night."

[And Zarathustra spoke:]

IV " We invoke  Sraosha, who makes the World increase ; who, Never-sleeping, wakefully guards the Creation of Mazda, V  who protects all the World, who, with Peace and with Friendship,  watches the kingdom of Ormuzd, so that the Ahuras may go along the seven Kingdoms of the Earth.

 VI We invoke all the houses that are protected by Sraosha, where the Holy Sraosha is dear and friendly treated and satisfied as well as the faithful man, who is rich in good thoughts, rich in good words, and rich in good deeds."

[And Ahura Mazda spoke:]

VII " I bless the prayer, the strength and the vigor of the Holy, strong Sraosha, who is the incarnate Word."
