Kithrem buyâd. Found in a Parsi prayer known as Kithrem buyâd from its first two words. It was published by Tîr Andaz in his Khorda Avesta (Bombay, p. 374 seq.) and by Sachau in his Neue Beiträge (Vienna, 1871, p. 823).
Kithrem buyâd ahmya nmânê Pitum buyâd ahmya nmâne Thwãm pitam buyâd ahmya nmâne. May welfare appear in this house ! May plenty of food be in this house! May plenty of food be in thy house !
The first of the following three lines, and sometimes the first two, are found in many of the Pahlavi colophons at the end of Zend manuscripts. The complete formula is found only in the colophon of the old Yasna of Kopenhagen (Ko; see Geldner, Yasna LXXII, 11; West, Dînkart, 484).
