47.1. Through Bounteous Spirit and Best Mind, through Asha, through deed and through word, may Ahura Mazda grant that one Wholeness and Immortality, through Dominion and Armaiti.:: (..) Through Bounteous Spirit and Best Mind, through Asha, through deed and through word, may Ahura Mazda grant that one Wholeness and Immortality, through Dominion and Armaiti.::
47.2. Of this most bounteous Spirit, one shall fulfill the best with the tongue, with words of Vohu Manah, with the hands of Armaiti, through deeds—by this insight: he is the Father of Asha, Mazda.
47.3. Of this Spirit you are the bounteous one, you who fashioned for us the joy-bringing Cow. When, for her pasture, you gave peace-bringing Armaiti, then, Mazda, you took counsel with Vohu Manah.
47.4. From this Spirit the followers of the Lie fall away, Mazda—not so the followers of Asha. Even a man of little means shall be dear to the follower of Asha; even one of great power shall be evil to the follower of the Lie.
47.5. And through Bounteous Spirit, Mazda Ahura, you have apportioned to the follower of Asha whatever is indeed best—and even what the follower of the Lie, by his deeds, receives from your will, through the evil understanding of his mind.
47.6. These things you give through Bounteous Spirit, Mazda Ahura, through Fire: the decisive allotment to the two parties, through the support of Armaiti and Asha. For this shall turn many who seek it.
47.7. Through Bounteous Spirit and Best Mind, through Asha, through deed and through word, may Ahura Mazda grant that one Wholeness and Immortality, through Dominion and Armaiti.:: Through Bounteous Spirit and Best Mind, through Asha, through deed and through word, may Ahura Mazda grant that one Wholeness and Immortality, through Dominion and Armaiti.:: Asha is good; it is best.:: Radiance is; radiance is for the one for whom Asha is for the best.:: (..) Asha is good; it is best.:: Radiance is; radiance is for the one for whom Asha is for the best. Asha is good; it is best.:: Radiance is; radiance is for the one for whom Asha is for the best. We worship the third chapter, “Bounteous Spirit.”:: Whichever beings Ahura Mazda knows to be good for worship according to Asha—those, both male and female, we worship.
