In the name of God. I praise and invoke the creator Ormazd, the radiant, glorious, omniscient, maker, lord of lords, king over all kings, watchful, creator of the universe, giver of daily bread, powerful, strong, eternal, forgiver, merciful, loving, mighty, wise, holy, and nourisher. May (his) just kingdom be imperishable. May the majesty and glory of Ormazd, the beneficent lord, increase. (Hither) may come the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun. Of all sins ... I repent.

1.

Homage to you, O Ahura Mazda, trice prior to other creatures. Homage to you, O Amesha Spentas, all of one accord with the Sun. May this (homage) seek its way so as to reach to Ahura Mazda, this (homage) to the Amesha Spentas, this (homage) to the Fravashis of the righteous, this to Vayu, that follows its own law for the Long Period.

2.

Propitiation to Ahura Mazda.... I praise Asha.

3.

I praise good thoughts, good words, and good deeds and those that are to be thought, spoken, and done. I do accept all good thoughts, good words, and good deeds. I do renounce all evil thoughts, evil words, and evil deeds.

4.

I proffer to you, O Amesha Spentas, sacrifice and prayer, with thought, with word, with deed, with (my) being, with the very life of my body. I praise Asha.

5.

Homage to Ahura Mazda. Homage to the Amesha Spentas. Homage to Mithra of wide cattle pastures. Homage to the Sun, the swift-horsed. Homage to these two eyes that are of Ahura Mazda. Homage to the Bull. Homage to Gaya (Maretan) [Gayomard]. Homage to the Fravashi of the righteous Spitama Zarathushtra. Homage to the whole creation of the Righteous One, that is, that is coming into being and that will be.

(During Hawan Gah recite:)

Further the body through Vohuman, Khshathra, and Asha in accordance with (my) desire.

(During Rapithwin Gah recite:)

(To) these lights, the highest (light) of the high.

(During Uzerin Gah recite:)

At which end you (i.e. Ahura Mazda) will come with your Beneficent Spirit.

6.

We sacrifice to the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun. We sacrifice to Mithra of wide cattle pastures,
Whose word is true, who is of the assembly,
Who has a thousand ears, the well-shaped one,
Who has ten thousand eyes, the exalted one,
Who has wide knowledge, the helpful one,
Who sleeps not, the ever wakeful.

7.

We sacrifice to Mithra
The lord of all countries,
Whom Ahura Mazda created the most glorious
Of the supernatural yazads.
So may there come to us for aid
Both Mithra and Ahura, the two exalted ones.
We sacrifice to the immortal,
Radiant, swift-horsed Sun.

8.

We sacrifice to Tishtrya of sound eyes. We sacrifice to Tishtrya. We sacrifice to those attendants on Tishtrya. We sacrifice to Tishtrya, the radiant (and) glorious. We sacrifice to the star Vanant, made by Mazda. We sacrifice to the star Tishtrya, the radiant (and) glorious. We sacrifice to the Sky that follows its own law. We sacrifice to the boundless Time. We sacrifice to Time, that follows its own law for the long period. We sacrifice to the wind, the holy (and) beneficent. We sacrifice to Wisdom, the most upright, righteous, made by Mazda. We sacrifice to the good Mazdayasnian Religion. We sacrifice to the Path leading to the good state. We sacrifice to the golden shaft. We sacrifice to Mount Saokanta, made by Mazda.

9.

We sacrifice to every righteous Yazad of the spiritual world. We sacrifice to every righteous Yazad of the material world. We sacrifice to our own soul. We sacrifice to our own Fravashi. Come to my help, O Mazda. We sacrifice to the good, helpful, holy Fravashis of the righteous. We sacrifice to the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun.

10.

I proclaim ... of the Ahurian Faith.

(Here recite the appropriate Gah dedication)

Propitiation ... glorification to the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun. As (he is) the Lord that is to be chosen ... let one who knows it pronounce it to me.

11.

We sacrifice to the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun. When the Sun warms with its light, when the sunlight gives warmth, there stand the spiritual Yazads, a hundred and a thousand. They gather together this glory. They distribute this glory. They bestow this glory upon the earth made by Ahura, with the furtherance of the world of Asha, with the furtherance of the material existence of Asha, with the furtherance of the Sun that (is) immortal, radiant, swift-horsed.

12.

When the Sun rises up, purification comes to the earth made by Ahura, purification to the flowing waters, purification to the waters of the wells, purification to the water of the seas, purification to the water that is standing. Purification comes to the righteous creation, which is of the Beneficent Spirit.

13.

If indeed the Sun were not to rise, then the daevas would kill all things that are in the seven regions. Not at all would the spiritual Yazads find support and stability in the material world.

14.

Whoever sacrifices to the Sun that is immortal, radiant, (and) swift-horsed, in order to withstand darkness, to withstand the daevas, the progeny of darkness, to withstand the theives and robbers, to withstand the sorcerers and the enchantresses, to withstand death that creeps on,
He sacrifices to Ahura Mazda, he sacrifices to the Amesha Spentas, he sacrifices to his own soul.
He propitiates all heavenly and earthly Yazads, who sacrifices to the Sun that is immortal, radiant, swift-horsed.

15.

I shall sacrifice to Mithra of wide cattle pastures, who has a thousand ears, ten thousand eyes. I shall sacrifice to his mace, well aimed against the skulls of the Daevas, Mithra of wide cattle pastures. And I shall sacrifice to that friendship which is the best of friendships, that between the Moon and the Sun.

16.

For his splendor and fortune I shall sacrifice to him with audible worship, the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun, with libations. We sacrifice to the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun, with milk provided with Haoma, with the Barsom, with skill of tongue, and with the spell, and with word, and with deeds, and with libations, and with rightly spoken words.
Of whomsoever among beings Ahura Mazda has known the excellence (lit. something better) in Yasna-sacrifice in accordance with Asha, to both these males and females we sacrifice.
(Recite quietly:) ....
Y.A.V.(2)
I desire worship and adoration and strength and force for the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun.

17.

I bless the sacrifice ... of the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun.

Homage to the creator of the creatures of the world, on the day (N.) of good name, of holy name, of auspicious name, of the month (N.) of auspicious name, of the gah (N.).
Propitiation ... I praise Asha.
May there be an increase in the luster and glory of the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun, the courageous, victorious in courage and victory. May the knowledge, promulgation, and glory of the good Mazdayasnian Law and Religion be in the seven regions of the earth. So be it. I must go thither (i.e. the next world).
(Homage) to the Creator of the world, to the Mazdayasnian Religion, the Law of Zartusht. Homage to you, O righteous Ardvisura Anahita, most profitable, righteous one.
Homage to you, good Tree, righteous one, created by Ormazd!
We sacrifice to the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun.
(Hither) may reach the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun.

I proclaim ... of the Ahurian Faith.

(Gah according to the period of the day.)

Propitiation ... glorification to Mithra of wide cattle pastures, who has a thousand ears, who has ten thousand eyes, the Yazad who is invoked by name, (and) to Rama Khvastra. As (he is) the Lord that is to be chosen ... let one who knows it pronounce it to me.

11.

We sacrifice to Mithra of wide cattle pastures, whose word is true ... the ever wakeful. We sacrifice to Mithra, who is around the country. We sacrifice to Mithra, who is within the country. We sacrifice to Mithra, who is in the country. We sacrifice to Mithra, who is above the country. We sacrifice to Mithra, who is under the country. We sacrifice to Mithra, who is before the country. We sacrifice to Mithra, who is behind the country.

12.

We sacrifice to Mithra and Ahura, the exalted, imperishable, righteous ones, and the Stars, the Moon, and the Sun, by means of trees yielding Barsom. We sacrifice to Mitha, the Lord of all countries.

13.

For his splendor and fortune I shall sacrifice to him with audible worship, Mithra of wide cattle pastures with libations. We sacrifice to Mithra of wide cattle pastures, who gives an abode of joy, and a good abode to the Aryan countries.

14.

May he come hither to us in order to help (us). May he come hither to us for spaciousness. May he come hither to us to support (us). May he come hither to us to (grant us) mercy. May he come hither to us to cure (us of disease). May he come hither to us so that we are able to defeat our enemies. May he come hither to us to (grant us) a good life. May he come hither to us to grant us possession of Truth. (May) strong, unshakable, undeceivable Mithra of wide pastures, who is worthy of worship and praise, (come hither) for the sake of the whole material world.

15.

This powerful strong god Mithra, strongest in the (world of) creatures, I will worship with libations. I will cultivate him with praise and reverence, worship him with audible prayer, with libations, Mithra of wide cattle pastures.

We worship Mithra of wide cattle pastures with Haoma-containing milk and baresman twigs, with skill of tongue and magic word, with speech and action and libations, and with correctly uttered words.

We worship the male and female Entities in the worship of whom Ahura Mazda knows (there is (or: consists) what is) best (lit. better) according to Asha.

With propitiation of Ahura Mazda. Ashem Vohu....

Praise be to the name of Him Who always was, always is and always will be. (He is), by name, the Yazad Spena Menoi. Even among the spiritual (yazads). He is Menoi (i.e. an invisible spirit). One of His own names is also Ohrmazd. (He is) the greatest Lord, powerful and wise, creator, nourisher, protector, compassionate, virtuous, forgiver, pure, a good dispenser of justice and all powerful.

Thanks be to that Great Architect who, with His own unrivaled strength and wisdom, created the sublime world, the six Amahraspands of higher rank, many wonderful Yazads, the bright paradise Garothman, the revolution of the sky, the shining sun, the brilliant moon, stars of different germs, the wind, atmosphere, water, fire, the earth, trees, beneficent cattle, the metals and mankind.

3.

Adoration and praise be to the righteous Lord Who made man the greatest of all earthly creatures and through (the gift of) speech and the power of reasoning, created them for the sovereignty of the times and for the management of the creatures through the contest in battles against the daevas.

4.

Homage to the Omniscient One, to him who is compassionate, who, through Zartosht Spitaman of holy farohar, sent for the creatures the apostleship (of religion), the knowledge of and the trustworthiness with regard to, the Religion, innate wisdom and wisdom acquired through the ears, and the instruction of, and guidance for all who are, were, and will be, and the science of sciences, viz., the bountiful Manthra, so that the soul at the Chinwad bridge may be released from hell, and may cause them to pass over the Best Existence of the holy, the bright sweet-smelling, and all-beneficent.

5.

In obedience to your command, o compassionate one, I accept your pure religion, and think, speak, and practice (in accordance with it). I am steadfast on every meritorious deed and desist from all sins. I keep pure my own personal conduct and completely preserve the six powers of life, viz., first, thought, second, word, third, deed, and again fourth, reasoning, fifth, memory, and sixth, intellect.

6.

O righteous one, according to your will, I shall accomplish to the extent of (my) power, your worship with good thoughts, good words, and good deeds. I shall open (for myself) the brilliant way (of paradise) so that the grievous punishment of hell may not be inflicted on me. I shall pass over the Chinwad bridge and attain to the abode of paradise (which is) very fragrant, all-embroidered, and of all happiness.

7.

Praise be to the merciful Lord who bestows rewards for meritorious deeds on those who obey his commands according to his will, and at last will liberate even the wicked from (the torture of) hell and will embellish with purity the whole creation.

8.

All praise to the creator Ohrmazd the omniscient, omnipotent, and powerful, and to the seven Amahraspands, to the victorious Yazad Warharan, the vanquisher of foes, and to the well-shapen (Yazad) Ama (strength). (May all these) come (to my help).

[Dhabhar continues with:]

[May the glory of the pure and good religion of the Mazdayasnians be triumphant].

9.

Homage to these places and cities [these regions and districts], [know that they are not specially mentioned], pasture lands [i.e., stalls of cattle are so called], houses [i.e., dwellings], drinking places [i.e., fountains of water], to the waters, lands, and trees, to this earth and the yonder sky, and even to the holy wind, to the stars, the moon and the sun, and also to the self-sustained eternal lights, [know that the self-sustainedness is this that every one of them acts for itself] and to all creations of Spena Menoi, males and females, [especially] the lords of holiness.
Ashem Vohu...(3).

Translation from Denkard, edited by Peshotun Dustoor Behramjee Sunjana, 1876 English translation by Ratanshah E. Kohiyar

1.

(I) praise the name of that Minoyan mino, the increaser, worthy to be praised, who always was, always is, and always will be; whose one name is Ohrmazd, the God who is the greatest among all, wise, Creator, supporter, protector, endurer, the lord of righteousness, forgiver, and dispenser of excellent and pure justice.

2.

Thanks be to the exalted Lord of the world, who, of his own power and wisdom, has created six Ameshaspands of high rank, numerous Yazads, the shining paradise, Garothman, the surrounding heavens, the hot sun, the shining moon, the numerous stars, the wind, the atmosphere, the fire, the water, the earth, the trees, the cattle, the metals, and mankind.

3.

Adoration and prayers to the righteous Lord who, for the purpose of rule over people and to make people walk together to fight against the Devs, has bestowed upon man speech and the power to think, and (thus) made (him) superior to each created thing of this world.

4.

(I) bow in the presence of the omniscient and caretaking Lord, who has sent, through Zartosht Spitaman of the adorable farohar, for the purpose rendering people friendly towards Him, the wisdom of the religion, worthy of faith through natural intelligence and knowledge of science -- wisdom that is the best for the guidance of all persons who are, were and will be. That is, that (through the wisdom of the religion) the soul is freed from the pains of hell, and reaches into the shining, fragrant, ever-happy, (and) the highest mansions of the pure.

5.

O (thou) Lord Protector! in obedience to thy command I am firm in the pure religion and I promise to think and speak and do every righteousness. Forgive me Thou (my) many sins; (may) I keep my own conduct pure, and (may) I, in accordance with Thy wishes, righteous Lord, keeping uncontaminated the six powers of the soul -- work, speech, thought, reasoning, memory, and intellect -- (6) (and) in order to obtain the riches of the next world through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds, worship Thee, that I may thus open (for myself the path to the shining paradise: that is that the heavy punishment of hell may not be inflicted upon me and I may, passing over the Chinwad bridge, reach into the fragrant all-adorned and eternally happy mansions of paradise.

7.

(Praise be) to the Lord of gifts, who bestows upon those who obey his commandments the reward of righteous wishes and who will at the end liberate transgressors from hell and adorn the world with purity.

Who is as much in greatness

All the shores around the Sea Vourukasha
Are in commotion,
The whole middle is bubbling up
When she flows forth to them,
When she streams forth to them,

To whom belong a thousand lakes,
To whom a thousand outlets;
Anyone of these lakes
And any of these outlets
(Is) a forty days' ride
For a man mounted on a good horse.

Arise unto me, O Ahura! give vigor through Armaiti, Strength by the good reward through Thy Holy Spirit, O Mazda! Mighty power through Asha, supremacy through Vohu Manah.

2.

For my support, O Far-seeing One, may Ye manifest unto me those incomparable things
Of your Khshathra, O Ahura, which are the reward of Vohu Manah;
Instruct our consciences, O Holy Armaiti, through Asha.

3.

So Zarathushtra gives as an offering even the life of his body,
And the excellence of Vohu Manah unto Mazda,
As also obedience and power of deed and word unto Asha.

4.

Propitiation unto Ahura Mazda. Homage unto thee, O Fire of Ahura Mazda, thou good-created, great Yazata.
Ashem Vohu...(3).
I profess myself a Mazda-worshipper, a follower of Zarathushtra, opposing the Daevas, accepting the Ahuric doctrine.

(Here recite the appropriate Gah dedication.)

Unto Fire, the son of Ahura Mazda. Unto thee, O Fire, son of Ahura Mazda.

5.

To Fire, the son of Ahura Mazda; to the good fortune and Prosperity, created by Mazda; to the Aryan good fortune, created by Mazda; to the kingly good fortune, created by Mazda; to Fire, the son of Ahura Mazda; to Kavi Husravah, to the Lake of Husravah; to Mount Asnavant, created by Mazda; to Lake Chaechista, created by Mazda; to the kingly good fortune, created by Mazda.

6.

To Fire, the son of Ahura Mazda; to Mount Raevant, created by Mazda, to the kingly good fortune, created by Mazda; to Fire, the son of Ahura Mazda; O Fire! holy warrior, O Yazata full of fortune, O Yazata full of healing; to Fire, the son of Ahura Mazda, with all fires; to the Yazata Nairyosangha, offspring of sovereignty (Khshathra). Propitiation for worship, adoration, propitiation, and praise.
'Yatha Ahu Vairyo', the zaotar should say to me
'Atha ratush ashatchit hacha', the Ashavan, knowing one should say.

7.

I bless in reverence and adoration the abiding offering, the joyous offering, and the devotional offering (offered) to you, O Fire! son of Ahura Mazda.
Worthy of sacrifice you are, worthy of prayer,
worthy of sacrifice may you always be, worthy of prayer,
in the dwellings of men.
May there be hope to that man who verily shall sacrifice to you
with fuel in his hand, with the Baresma in his hand,
with milk in his hand, with the mortar in his hand.

8.

May you be provided with proper fuel! May you be provided with proper incense! May you be provided with proper nourishment! May you be provided with proper upkeep! May you be maintained by one of full age! May you be maintained by one wise (in religion), O Fire, son of Ahura Mazda.

9.

In order to be burning in this house, in order to be ever burning in this house, in order to be blazing in this house, in order to be increasing in this house,
Even throughout the Long Time,
until the mighty Renovation, including the mighty, good Renovation.

10.

Give me, O Fire, son of Ahura Mazda! well-being immediately, sustenance immediately; life immediately, well-being in abundance; sustenance in abundance, life in abundance; knowledge, holiness, a ready tongue, understanding for (my) soul; and afterwards wisdom (which is) comprehensive, great, imperishable.

11.

(Give me) then the manly valor, which is ever afoot, sleepless, (for one third of the days and nights), watchful while lying in bed. (Give me) native offspring that give support, ruling over the region, belonging to the assembly, thoroughly developed, possessed of good works, delivering from distress, of good intellect, that may further my house, village, town, country, (and) the renown of the country.

12.

Give me, O Fire, son of Ahura Mazda, the Best World of the righteous, the shining, the all-happy, so that it may fulfill my wish, now and for ever, so as to attain to good reward, and to good renown, and to long happiness of my soul!

13.

The Fire of Ahura Mazda
Gives command to all
For whom he cooks
The night and the morning meals.
From all he solicits
A good offering, and a wished-for offering,
And a devotional offering, O Spitama!

14.

The Fire looks at the hands of all passers-by - 'what does the friend bring to the friend, the one that goes forth to the one that sits still?' We sacrifice unto the holy Fire, the bold, good warrior.

15.

Then if that one brings unto him either fuel righly brought, or Baresma rightly spread, or the plant Hadhanaepata, to him thereupon, in fulfillment of his wish, the Fire of Ahura Mazda, propitiated, unoffended, gives a blessing:

16.

'May a herd of cattle attend you,
A multitude of men to you,
And may an active mind
And an active spirit attend you.
May you live with a joyous life
The nights which you live!'
This is the Fire's blessing (on him)
Who brings him fuel,
Dry, exposed to the light,
Purified in accordance with the ritual of Asha.

17. (Recite silently:)

Ormazd the Lord! the increaser of mankind, of the species of mankind, of all species, and of all good ones! May he cause intelligence, steadfastness, and goodness, unto me (who am) one of the good Mazdayasnians. So be it!

(Recite aloud:)

Yatha Ahu Vairyo...(2).
I desire worship and adoration and strength and force for Fire, son of Ahura Mazda. For Fire, son of Ahura Mazda, to the good fortune and prosperity, created by Mazda, to the Aryan good fortune, created by Mazda; to the kingly good fortune, created by Mazda; to Fire, the son of Ahura Mazda; to Kavi Husravah; to the Lake of Husravah, to Mount Asnavant, created by Mazda; to Lake Chaechista, created by Mazda; to the kingly good fortune, created by Mazda. To Fire, the son of Ahura Mazda; to Mount Raevant, created by Mazda; to the kingly good fortune, created by Mazda; to Fire, the son of Ahura Mazda; O Fire! holy warrior, O Yazata full of fortune, O Yazata full of healing; to Fire, the son of Ahura Mazda, with all fires; to the Yazata Nairyosangha, offspring of sovereignty (Khshathra).
Ashem Vohu...(3).

18.

Then through Asha, O Ahura! we wish your mighty and powerful Fire, which is taught through Asha, to be a manifest help to the ally, but a visible harm at your beck, O Mazda! to the foe.
Ashem Vohu....

19.

Bestow on him riches...
