 * and received the pure sign.
 * My parents looked to the life,
 * my teachers to the place of light.
 * The Uthras of the victorious light,
 * Abathur and the sons of salvation,
 * who stand and praise life.
 * May the peace of life be granted to the knowledgeable ones
 * who have passed away from our midst.
 * May he, my Lord Mandā d-Haijē, be a helper to the poor,
 * humble people and the disciples (priests).
 * With thanks be received the kindness of life,
 * the kindness of life and the Mandā d-Haijē.
 * The service they have rendered in the name of life, ...
 * To everyone who gives alms, alms will be a helper.
 * The chosen and perfect ones, who give alms,
 * will ascend on the paths of the Kuštā.
 * They were given an ether wreath,
 * a wreath of speech and hearing,
 * of joy and victoriousness,
 * of Goodness and greatness.
 * A wreath from the vine Rwaz will be erected
 * on the head of those souls who have been brought forth,
 * consecrated and marked by this mass,
 * as well as (the souls of) our fathers, teachers, brothers and sisters
 * who have departed from their bodies
 * and who still dwell in their bodies,
 * a wreath of the kind that the great (life) erects on its head,
 * as the great (life) gave it to the Uthras and the Uthras gave it to their disciples.
 * You physician, whose remedy is water, come, be a physician to your friends.
 * Be a physician to your friends, and a helper to him who gives alms.
 * Whom you have healed, my lord, give him also strength.
 * Whoever stands before you, look at him and do not condemn him.
 * My Lord, high king of light, revealer, whose eyes are open,
 * who seeks justice for his friends and brings it to fruition.
 * Provide us justice before our persecutors,
 * before the persecutors who persecute us,
 * and before the evil-doers
 * and the evil-doers who plot evil against us.
 * If it pleases you, my Lord, high King of Light,
 * look upon us and do not condemn us.
 * Look also upon those souls who believed in you,
 * who stand in thy name in the Tibil and are persecuted.
 * Show us the pure ether,
 * so that we forget the persecution of the Tibil,
 * so that we may forget the persecution of the Tibil
 * and the wrath of the wicked and the liars.
 * Strengthen us our insight, our voice,
 * our enlightenment and our praise.
 * (With this, the great life connected you
 * and raised you up in an excellent way).
 * From the splendor and the light of my Lord Mandā d-Haijē
 * and from the peace of life rest a part on us.
 * My chosen ones! say:
 * Blessed be the voice of life,
 * blessed be the great lamp,
 * which is all light.
 * And blessed be the life.

Commentary

 * Then read "Blessed and praised be the life", that of the souls,
 * then read "Good is the good for the good".
