GĀTHĀS, part 4:
VOHUKHSATHRA GĀTHĀ
YASNA LI
I
The
tiller of the
Earth would
seek
Your
Kingdom,
moved by the impulse of Your
Cosmic Order,
and by
Your
Cause*, upright as
he is in
Action, and
wise in
his
self-effacing Worship of that
One,
Who, as a
righteous Ruler, has
appointed a
just controlling Guide,
ASHA, for
those whom
He has
made.
II
To
the
man of
Understanding, one should
declare for
You that
which is
woe
to the
wicked, but is
salvation to
him who has maintained the
Holy Order in
Your
folk and
in his own
Soul ; for he is
repaid in
his
Deed and is
rejoiced.
III
I call
upon
ASHA,
your
Cosmic
Order, to be my
help ; and
may He
come with
Your
Good
Blessing.
IV
The
righteous
man will likewise be
victorious on
the veritable ![]()
Judgment Bridge [Chinvat
bridge], for his Good Conscience will truly
crush the
evil
spirit of the
wicked man.
V
This is the
reward which
Zarathustra
did declare
before to his
friends, who
counsel
with
ASHA, and
who are fitted
for the
Cause
*[the Good Cause, the Plan of Ahura Mazda and Asha :
Salvation = that one may deserve Joyful Eternal Life in the Garodman].
VI
Ahura Mazda will
be the first
to come into his
home
[Garodman = Garo demana : "Paradise"], and
then these
gifts will be given to
you by the
Good Mind [Spenta Mainyu] which is within you, and with the blessings of the
Cause of the
Cosmic Order.
VII
Yea, he has
attained to that
wisdom,
which the bountiful
Ahura did
conceive
in
accordance with
ASHA, to
teach
us, thus,
salvation.
VIII
He who is
wise
[Any Saoshyant or Ashavan, whosoever: Zarathustra, but also
Moses, Jesus, me, you?]
, and
who
is seeking
the
true
life, that person is
granting it unto us ; yea, and he has
pronounced the
Laws of Ahura Mazda, our
Creator, and has
declared
that, which is, beyond
all
other things,
the
Best
[Best = Vahishta (Gathic), like in Asha-]
for the
Actions of
our
life : For
Holiness is the
Best of All Good!
And
all the
bountiful Immortals
, in
sympathy and
to
help
us, are disposed to grant that
gift of
blessedness for
you,
with one
consent,
IX
And
may
they
[the
bountiful Immortals],
likewise,
make the
Holy
Order [Asha] a
resolution
to us, through the
Good Mind
in our folk
[ at the time of Zarathustra it started with just the Ashavans of
Aireanem Vaejo, the Iranians : nowadays this will apply to ALL followers of ASHA
!].
And may
They
reveal to us
the Words with which
Piety
also does speak Her truths.
X
And may
they
[the
bountiful Immortals], receiving
sacrifice with
homage from
our
praises,
seek
the
Grace of
Ahura Mazda for
us .
