I also saw the souls of performers of the Yazishn ceremony, and of those who know the scriptures by heart, splendid among the lofty and exalted among the great. (2) And it seemed to me sublime. 3.

(6) And it seemed to me sublime. 77. I also saw the souls of warriors, whose walk was in the supremest pleasure and joyfulness, and together with that of kings; (8) and the well-made arms and equipments of those heroes were made of gold, studded with jewels, well-ornamented and all embroidered; (9) and they were in wonderful trousers with much pomp and power and triumph. (10) And it seemed to me sublime. 1111. I also saw the souls of those who killed many noxious creatures ( khrafstras ) in the world; (12) and the prosperity of the waters and sacred fires, and fires in general, and trees, and the prosperity also of the earth was ever increased thereby; and they were exalted and adorned. (13) And it seemed to me very sublime. 14. I also saw the souls of agriculturists, in a splendid place, and glorious and thick majestic clothing; (15) as they stood, and offered praise, before the spirits of water and earth, trees and cattle; (16) and they utter thanksgiving and praise and benediction; (17) their throne also is great, and the place they occupy is good. (18) And it seemed to me sublime. 1919.
