Hymn 13 of Zarathustra

Verses: 4

Verses

Verse 1

When at the Recompensing, Asha shall triumph, then the power of deceit shall be shattered forever. The creatures of Good Mind hasten on to the excellent reward of Mazda Ahura, to be gathered in His House of Song.

At the final reckoning, Truth triumphs over deceit and the faithful are gathered in paradise.

Verse 2

If through Righteousness the understanding of these precepts is attained, then Mazda Ahura shall grant both worlds: this one of thought and that of substance. These are the bliss that Devotion gives.

Understanding through Asha brings blessings in both the spiritual and material worlds.

Verse 3

Let none of you listen to the precepts and commands of the Liar. He brings the house, village, district, and country to ruin and desolation. Resist them with the weapon of Good Mind and Asha.

Warning against false teachings; resist the Lie with Good Mind and Righteousness.

Verse 4

Grant, O Ahura, through Asha, the reward which the Good Mind gives. Grant that men may live according to Thy teaching, bringing increase and joy through righteousness to all the living.

Prayer for divine reward and that all may live according to truth.
