zarathushtra yat ameshanam spentanam tat asti manthrahe<br />

spentahe amavastemem, tat verethravastemem, tat<br />

kharenanghastemem, tat yaskerestemem, tat<br />

varethraghnyotemem, tat baeshazyotemem, tat tbaeshotaurvyanstemem,<br />

daevanam mashyanamcha, tat vispahe<br />

angheush astvato anghvam asti vimarezishtem."<br />

-Hormzd Yasht §§ 3, 4.<br />

"Then Anura Mazda replied O Spitama Zarathushtra, the names <strong>of</strong><br />

ours i.e. <strong>of</strong> Amesha Spentas. -That portion <strong>of</strong> Manthra Spenta is the most<br />

courageous, most victorious, most glorious, most efficacious, most overpowering,<br />

most health-giving, most destroying the ills <strong>of</strong> daevas <strong>and</strong><br />

men; it is the most attainable for meditation in the entire corporeal<br />

world; it is the most purifying <strong>of</strong> life in the entire material existence."<br />

(b.) "Aat aokhta Zarathushtro froit me tat nama framruidhi ashaum ahura<br />

mazda yat te asti mazishtemcha, vahishtemcha, sraeshtemcha,<br />

yaskerestememcha, verethraghnyotememcha, baeshazyotemcmcha<br />

yatavo pairikaoscha yat mam nae chish taurvayat, noit daevo, naedha<br />

mashyo, noit yatavo, naedha pairikao."<br />

-Hormazd Yasht §§ 5, 6.<br />

" Then Zarathushtra said "0 Ahura Mazda the Holy; declare unto me that name <strong>of</strong><br />

Thine, which is the greatest, the best, the most excellent, most efficacious, most<br />

overpowering, most health-giving, most repelling ills <strong>of</strong> daevas <strong>and</strong> men so that I must<br />

shatter all daevas <strong>and</strong> men, so that I must shatter all sorcerers <strong>and</strong> fairies in order that<br />

none might annoy me-neither the daeva nor man, neither sorcerers nor fairies."<br />

(c.) “Yezi vashi Zarathushtra, avao tbaeshao taturvayo daevanam<br />

mashyanamcha, yathwam pairikanamcha, sathram kaoyam karafnamcha,<br />
