Salvation's hail be his, whosoe'er he may be : May the all-ruling send it, He supreme o'er strife. Long lasting strength be ours; of Thee I ask it; For the upholding Right, this, holy zeal, vouchsafe us, Rich power, blest rewards, the Good Mind's life!

And for this saint that best of all things, Glory, the glorious one shall gain who may. Reveal Thou, Lord, to us with spirit bounteous What truths by right Thou givest with good mind's wisdom With life's rejoicing increase and on every day.

Yes, that better than the good may he gain surer Who hath for us straight paths of grace explored, Of this life bodily the use, of that the mental In the eternal Realms where dwells Ahura, Like Thee, noble and august, O Mazda Lord!
