CHAPTER LXIX, 21-27.
:
389
akhsô ...? implores. 26. To thee, O Zaratust! my protection is given in the reply of the Kem-nâ ? which, before the companionship of Kal-Vistâsp 3 that righteous friend of mine was a published thing of those which are used, and of those such as it is requisite to use. 27. The talk of a man which is immoderate is false, everything immoderate is so for this reason, everything is not that which the good man possesses, because, when privileged, the wicked one is he who is righteous, and he who is privileged becomes unprivileged; he who is righteous is thus he who is wicked, and becomes him who is privileged and unprivileged, so that he is fully incriminated, and they shall carry off his possessions.'
1 Yas. XLVI, 2 c-e; its Pahlavi version (Pahl. Yas. XLV, 2c-e) may be translated as follows:- I complain to thee, behold it and this one, O Adharmasd! (that is, seek a remedy for me); that pleasure is my desire, which a friend gives to his friend; through the instruction of Vohman (when I am instructed in virtue) is the coveted thing of righteousness (thou shouldst give me).' The words in parentheses have no equivalents in the Avesta text.
* Yas. XLVI, 7; its Pahlavi version (Pahl. Yas. XLV, 7 a-e) may be translated as follows:- Who is given to me and mine, my disciples) as protector by thee, O Adharmasdl when that wicked (Abarman) retains malice for me in possession (that is, maintains malice with me? Who shall provide me protection), other than thy fire and Vohaman? (Because I know that they would provide me protection for your sake) when I nourish righteousness through deeds for them, O Adharmasd! (that is, should I perform duty and good works, who shall provide me protection ?) Thou shouldst proclaim to me that high-priest of the religion; (this thou shouldst state thus: “Maintain the religion as highpriest").'
* See Pahl Yas. XLV, 13 e, and Bk. VIII, Chaps. XI, 1, XIII, 15.
. Compare Ibid. 14 a which is given in Pt4, Mf4, as follows:Zaratūsto mûn lak aharůbě dôsto.
