So mayst thou heal me, O Mathra Spe;zta 6, thou most glorious one! 3‘Unto thee will I give in return a thou¬ sand fleet, swift-running steeds; offer them up7 as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka 8, made by Mazda and holy. ‘ Unto thee will I give in return a thousand fleet, on the good creatures of Ormazd that Ahriman corrupted them ’ (Eznig, Refutatio Haeresiarum II). high-humped camels; offer them up as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka, made by Mazda and holy. 4‘ Unto thee will I give in return a thou¬ sand brown oxen that do not push 1; offer them up as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka, made by Mazda and holy. ‘ U nto thee will I give in return a thousand young of all species of small cattle; offer them up as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka, made by Mazda and holy. 5‘And I will bless thee with the fair, holy blessing-spell, the friendly, holy blessing-spell, that makes the empty swell to fulness and the full to overflowing, that comes to help him who was sickening, and makes the sick man sound again. 6‘ Mathra Spe^ta, the all-glorious, replied unto me: “ How shall I heal thee? How shall I drive away from thee those nine diseases, and those ninety, those nine hundred, those nine thousand, and those nine times ten thousand diseases?”’ 7The Maker Ahura Mazda called for Nairyb-sangha 2: Go thou, Nairyd-sangha, the herald, and drive towards the mansion of Airyaman, and speak thus unto him: 8Thus speaks Ahura Mazda, the Holy One, unto thee: ‘I, Ahura Mazda, the Maker of all good things, when I made this mansion, the beautiful, the shining, seen afar (there may I go up, there may I pass!) 9‘ Then the ruffian looked at me; the ruffian Angra Mainyu, the deadly, wrought by his witchcraft nine diseases, and ninety, and nine hundred, and nine thousand, and nine times ten thousand diseases. So mayst thou heal me, O Airyaman, the much-desired! 10‘ Unto thee will I give in return a thousand fleet, swift-running steeds; offer them up as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka, made by Mazda and holy. ‘ Unto thee will I give in return a thousand fleet, high-humped camels; offer them up as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka, made by Mazda and holy. 11‘ Unto thee will I give in return a thou¬ sand brown oxen, that do not push; offer them up as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka, made by Mazda and holy. ‘ Unto thee will I give in return a thousand young of all species of small cattle; offer them up as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka, made by Mazda and holy. 12‘And I will bless thee with the fair, holy blessing-spell, the friendly, holy blessing-spell, that makes the empty swell to fulness and the full to overflowing, that comes to help him who was sickening, and makes the sick man sound again.’ 13In obedience to Ahura’s words he went, Nairyd-sangha, the herald; he drove towards the mansion of Airyaman, he spake unto Airyaman, saying: 14Thus speaks Ahura Mazda, the Holy One, unto thee: ‘I, Ahura Mazda, the Maker of all good things, when I made this mansion, the beautiful, the shining, seen afar (there may I go up, there may I pass!) 16‘ Unto thee will I give in return a thou¬ sand fleet, swift-running steeds; offer them up as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka, made by Mazda and holy. ‘ Unto thee will I give in return a thousand fleet, high-humped camels; offer them up as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka, made by Mazda and holy. 17‘ Unto thee will I give in return a thou¬ sand brown oxen that do not push; offer them up as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka, made by Mazda and holy. ‘ Unto thee will I give in return a thousand young of all species of small cattle; offer them up as a sacrifice unto the good Saoka, made by Mazda and holy. 18‘And I will bless thee with the fair, holy blessing-spell, the friendly, holy blessing-spell, that makes the empty swell to fulness and the full to overflowing, that comes to help him who was sickening, and makes the sick man sound again/ the mountain of the holy questions towards the forest of the holy questions. 20Nine stallions brought he with him, the much-desired Airyaman1 2.

Religion, p. 341). 23‘ May the much-desired Airyaman come here for the men and women of Zarathustra to rejoice, for the faithful to rejoice; with the desirable reward that is won by means of the law, and with that boon for holiness that is vouchsafed by Ahura. 24‘ May the much-desired Airyaman smite all manner of diseases and deaths, all the Yitus and Pairikas, and all the wicked Gainis. 25‘Yathi ahfi vairyd: — the will of the Lord is the law of holiness; the riches ofVohu-mano shall be given to him who works in this world for Mazda, and wields according to the will of Ahura the power he gave him to relieve the poor. ‘ KYm n& mazdzi: — whom hast thou placed to protect me, O Mazda! while the hate of the fiend is grasping me? Whom but thy Atar and Vohumand, by whose work the holy world goes on? Reveal to me the rules of thy law! ‘Ke verethrem g&\ — who is he who will smite the fiend in order to maintain thy ordinances? Teach me clearly thy rules for this world and for the next, that Sraosha may come with Vohu-man6 and help whomsoever thou pleasest. ‘ Keep us from our hater, O Mazda and Armaiti Spe«ta! Perish, O fiendish Drugl Perish, O brood of the fiend! Perish, O world of the fiend! Perish away, O Dru^! Perish away to the regions of the north, never more to give unto death the living world of the holy spirit!’] ‹Previous chapterVendidad Fargard 21Next chapterSirozah Sirozah 1›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
