2. Here name the person or persons to be blessed. "If the recital is for a Behdin, prefix the word Behdin before the name of both man and woman; if a member of the priestly class use the word 'Ervad' before his name if he has gone through the Navar ceremony, otherwise prefix the word 'Osta' to his name. Before the name of a woman from a priestly class use the word 'Osti'." Khordeh Avesta (in Roman script) 9 Yasht, Union Press, Bombay, 1982 - p. 321.

3. The last two words are omitted in Antia.

4. Kanga & Sontakke, p. 324.

5. Mobed Firouz Azargoshab's Khordah Avesta, p. 22 reads "farhkondah".
