59. This, too, is one of the wonder's, when the report of the marvellousness of the birth of that manchild and of his great glory, is due to statements of Yim and also others, brilliant in carrying on the destiny which had entered them from the sacred beings. 60. Wherein Yim spoke to the demons thus : 'Here below the pure and righteous Zaratůst will be born, who will produce for you who are demons that absence of intercession which is prepared for you (that is, he will produce for you a thoroughly-harassed actual inactivity, an absence of intercession so that you are not able to pray on your own account, and no one prays for you).'
61. It is declared that the report about the birth of Zaratust, and concerning his prophesying, is explained (avazandi-hasto) only by the illustrious, such as Yim and Frêdùn and many learned people ; but the sacred beings are also heard through the tongues of the animals scattered in the world, in order that even that witness shall arise as regards his prophesying. 62. Just like that which is declared, that in the reign of Kal-Us there was an ox, and a splendour had come to his body from the sacred beings; and whenever a dispute as to the frontier arose between Irân and Tūrân, that ox was brought, and the boundary between Iran and Tûrân
Assuming that niram stands for nîrá, a variant of nûrâ. ? Or terrified with fear.'
