force of His own 'Hu' was l/l00th, but yet it was too powerful and
could not be grasped. This process was repeated from 8/l0ths to
7/l0ths, 6/10ths, 5/l0ths, 4/10ths, 3/l0ths, 2/10ths in which the
force of His own 'Hu' was respectively 1/l000th, l/l0,000th,
1/100,000th, l/1000,000th, 1/l0,000,000th, l/100,000,000th, but
still the force of His 'Hu' was too powerful and hence that Will
could not be grasped by Khao Afrazyamna.
However, the tenth time, when AHU reduced the light of His
conscious Will from 2/10ths to 1/10th in which the force of His
own 'Hu' was 1/1000,000,000th, that light was so diluted or
weakened that the 'Thought' and the diction of that Will could be
comprehended by Khao Afrazyamna. This 1/l000,000,000th
particle is called Bagha Ahunavar. In this Thought of the Will was
laid down that:
"From the most perfect beings of light to beings of light lowest
in gradation shall manifest themselves, and that these beings
of light shall emanate separately in the beginning, but shall
return all perfected and merged into one on Roshan Rooz, the
Glorious Day in the dim future."
The above diction of the Will is called in Avesta (Ysn. 19, 1-
2) "Vacha", 'The Word'. When Khao Afrazyamna pronounced the
above Vacha replete with the Thought for the creation of the
Universe, that Vacha became diffused in the triad of Yavaecha-
Yavaetat, Niru-khadat and Atashe Shaedan, already dealt with
above. This pronunciation of the Vacha, the Word Divine and its
diffusion in the triad above mentioned resulted in the simultaneous
manifestation of the pair of Bagha Ahunavar and Paourva
Fravashi_ the two highest and most fundamental superpotentialities
functioning in the pre-cosmo-genesis world,
connected with the creation of the Universe.
'VACHA', THE CELESTIAL NOTE OF BAGHA AHUNAV AR
With regard to Vacha, Ahunavar and Bagha Ahunavar in
Yasna 19, 1-2, the holy Prophet asks Ahura Mazda, the Creator:
"Which Vacha or Word it was that Thou hadst mentioned to
me, that Thou hadst created before heaven_ before water,
before earth. . .." etc.
and in the succeeding paragraph 3 Ahura Mazda replies:
"It was this Bagha Ahunavar that I had told you about". This
Vacha or the Word of AHU, which in the Holy Bible is called
"The Word Celestial of the Will of the Lord", which in the
religious texts of the Hindus is called "Shabda Brahma", and
among Islam is known as "Kun"" meaning 'Be it so', is this most
sublime Vacha of Bagha Ahunavar referred to in Yasna 19
