THE ABUNDANT EARTH
I
We
sacrifice to the Abundant
Earth ! that
possesses 
Health and 
Happiness and is more
powerful
than all its
Creatures . . .
II
It
lives
according
to the 
Ahuras
: the 
bright Ones,
whose looks already do
perform Their Wish.
Strong and
lordly, they are : they are
undecaying and Holy, they are all Seven of one
Thought, they are all Seven of one
Speech and
they are all Seven of one
Deed !
III
Their
Thought is
the same, Their
Speech is the
same, Their
Deed is the same, and Their
Father and
Commander is the same, namely : the
Creator,
Ahura Mazda ! IV The
Ahuras, who
can see each other’s
Souls :
thinking of good Thoughts, thinking of good
Words, thinking of good
Deeds. They
are the
Makers and Governors, the
Shapers and Overseers, the
Keepers
and Preservers of the Abundant
Earth ! and
of 
all
Creations of
Ahura Mazda.
V
It is
They
who shall
restore the World ! which will
thenceforth
never grow old and never die !
never
decaying,
ever living
and ever increasing, and Master of its own
Wish,
VI when Life and
Immortality will come and the
World will be
restored ! when Creation will grow
deathless - the prosperous
Creation of
Ahura Mazda - and
evil shall have perished !
VII
In the reign of the abundant
Earth 
aliments would never be failing for feeding
Creatures, flocks and
Men would be
undying, 
waters and Plants would be
undrying.
VIII In the reign of
the abundant
Earth there is then
neither old age nor death. IX
All
good things then run into the abundant
Earth ! They
flow and swell
to it ! bringing
good pastures
and fine
horses, bringing
plenty full
of glory with
beauty and weal ;
powerful and
friendly, rich
of pastures,
prolific and
golden !
X
ASHEM
Best of All good.
