- May Ahura Mazda be rejoiced!....
Ashem Vohu: Holiness is the best of all good....
I confess myself a worshipper of Mazda, a follower of Zarathushtra,
one who hates the Daevas and obeys the laws of Ahura;
For sacrifice, prayer, propitiation, and glorification unto [Havani],
the holy and master of holiness....
Unto the star Vanant, made by Mazda,
Be propitiation, with sacrifice, prayer, propitiation, and glorification.
Yatha ahu vairyo: The will of the Lord is the law of holiness....

- We sacrifice unto the star Vanant, made by Mazda, the holy
and master of holiness.
I will sacrifice unto Vanant, strong, invoked by his own name,
healing, in order to withstand the accursed and most foul Khrafstras
of the most abominable Angra Mainyu.

- Yatha ahu vairyo: The will of the Lord is the law of holiness....
I bless the sacrifice and prayer, and the strength and vigour
of the star Vanant, made by Mazda.
Ashem Vohu: Holiness is the best of all good....
[Give] unto that man brightness and glory, .... give him the bright,
all-happy, blissful abode of the holy Ones.
