Din (Daena) presides over the 24th day of the month (Sirozah 24) and gives it her name; she is invoked in company with Arista, and in fact this Yart, though it bears the name of Daena, is consecrated to Arista (§§ 2, 7). These two Genii are, however, very closely connected in their nature, as Daena is the impersonation of the Zoroastrian Law or Religion, and Arista is religious knowledge, the knowledge of what leads to bliss (farganak, nirvawagftana; the same as ATisti). The description of Afista is rather pallid, and does not rise above abstractions (see, however, Mihir Yart, § 126). She was not wor¬ shipped by the old epic heroes as Anahita was, but by Zarathustra and his wife, because she must have been, from her very name and nature, a goddess of Zoroastrian origin and growth. o. May Ahura Mazda be rejoiced!.... AshemVohu: Holiness is the best of all good.... 58.2I confess myself a worshipper of Mazda, a follower of Zarathustra, one who hates the Daevas and obeys the laws of Ahura; For sacrifice, prayer, propitiation, and glorification unto [Havani], the holy and master of holiness....

If thou art before me, stay for me; if thou art behind me, overtake me. 3‘ Let everything be as friendly to us as any¬ thing can be: may we go smoothly along the roads, find good pathways in the mountains, run easily through the forests, and cross happily the rivers!’ 4For her brightness and glory, I will offer unto her a sacrifice worth being heard, namely, unto the most right ATista, made by Mazda and holy. I will offer up a sacrifice unto the most right Wista, made by Mazda and holy, with the libations, with the Haoma and meat, with the baresma, with the wisdom of the tongue, with the holy spells, with the words and deeds, with the libations, with the wellspoken words.
