250 Ahuna Var IS ZARATHUSHTRA’S WEAPON AGAINST ANGHRA MAINYU.
“We attune ourselves with the Most-Advanced-in-Law belonging to houses,
families, provinces, and countries, who are worthy of house, family, province and
country, who are Ashoi-incarnate; Manthra-incarnate; perfect in Soul, Good-incarnate
in totality."
(x) “Yezi mam yashto kerenavani azem te vacha framravani
mazdadata kharenanghvanta baeshazya, yatha thwam
noit taurvayat anghro mainyush pouru-mahrko, noit
yatavo, noit yatumao, noit daevo, naedha mashyo.”
-Ram Yasht § 56.
“If 1 am made attuned, I must utter forth for thy sake the Word full of aura and
health so that neither the Evil Spirit full-of death nor sorcerer nor enchanter nor daeva
nor man can hurt thee."
(y) “Haomahecha nemo Manthrahecha ashaonaecha Zarathushtrahe.”
"Salutation to Haoma, Manthra and holy Zarathushtra."
- Ashish Vangh Yasht § 5.
(z) "Yehe zanthaecha vakhshaecha apa-dvarat anghro mainyush hacha
zemat, yat pathanayao, skrenayao, durae-parayao ; uiti davata ho yo
duzdao anghro mainyush pouru-mahrko, noit mam vispe yazataongho
anusentem fraorechinta, aat mam aevo zarathushtro anusentem apayeiti.
Jainti mam ahuna vairya avavat snaithisha yatha asma kato-masao;
tapayeiti mam asha vahishta, manayen ahe yatha ayokhshustem ; raeko
me hacha anghao zemat vangho kerenaoiti, yo mam aevo zamayeiti yo
spitamo zarathushtrao.”
-Ashish Vangh Yasht §§ 19,20.
“(Zarathushtra) by whose birth and growth the Evil Spirit ran away from the
earth which is broad, circular and wide-in-area. The evil-knowing Evil Spirit full
of death bawled out thus- "All the Yazads have not crushed me in accordance
with their wish; but Zarathushtra alone surpassed me in accordance with his
wish. He smites me with Ahuna Var, a weapon as big as a stone-slab ; he
scorches me with Asha Vahishta just like metal ; he accomplishes very well my
removal from his earth; only he i.e. Spitama Zarathushtra expels me.”
