"It is even so as thou hast said, O righteous Zarathustra! I, Ahura Mazda, seize the waters from the sea Vouru-kasha with the wind and the clouds.
“Glaucon was right,” she said,—their lips were very close,—“Zeus and Athena are greater than Mazda and Mithra. The future belongs to Hellas. But we have naught for shame. We have fought as Aryans, as the children of conquerors and kings. We shall be glad together in Garonmana the Blessed, and what is left to dread?” A quiver passed through her. The Spartan spear-line was close.
"Nine hundred stripes with the Aspahê-astra, nine hundred stripes with the Sraoshô-karana." O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! If a man break the field-contract, what is the penalty that he shall pay? Ahura Mazda answered: "A thousand stripes with the Aspahê-astra, a thousand stripes with the Sraoshô-karana." If a man rise up with a weapon in his hand, it is an Âgerepta.
O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! Which are those words in the Gâthas that are to be said thrice? Ahura Mazda answered:
And of this there is no doubt that his sons and their empire ran rapidly through that same vicious circle of corruption to which all despotisms are doomed, and became within 250 years, even as the Medes, the Chaldeans, the Lydians, whom they had conquered, children no longer of Ahura Mazda, but of Ahriman, of darkness and not of light, to be conquered by Alexander and his Greeks even more rapidly and more shamefully than they had conquered the East.
And now we worship this earth which bears us, together with Thy wives, O Ahura Mazda! yea, those Thy wives do we worship which are so desired from their sanctity. We sacrifice to their zealous wishes, and their capabilities, their inquiries, and their wise acts of pious reverence, and with these their blessedness, their full vigor and good portions, their good fame and ample wealth.
If a man shall throw on the ground a bone of a dead dog, or of a dead man, as large as two fingers or as two ribs, and if grease or marrow flow from it on to the ground, what penalty shall he pay? Ahura Mazda answered: "He is a Peshôtanu: two hundred stripes with the Aspahê-astra, two hundred stripes with the Sraoshô-karana." O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One!
If worshippers of Mazda want to till that piece of ground again, to water it, to sow it, and to plough it, what shall they do? Ahura Mazda answered: "They shall look on the ground for any bones, hair, dung, urine, or blood that may be there." O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One!
Ahura Mazda Ormuzd, as he has been called since was the one eternal Creator, the source of all light and life and good.
We praise all the things that are pure, for these are His only Creation; The thoughts that are true, and the words and deeds that have won approbation; These are supported by Him and for these we make adoration. Hear us, O Mazda!
