YASNA VIII.
The Yênhé hâtãm. 27. (To that one) of beings do we sacrifice whose superior (fidelity) in the sacrifice Ahura Mazda knows through his Righteousness (within him, yea, even to those female saints do we sacrifice) whose (superior sanctity is thus known. We sacrifice to all) both males and females whose (superiority is such). (The Ratu speaks.) As an Ahd (revered and) to be chosen, he who is the Zaotar speaks forth to me.
(The Zaotar.) So let the Ratu from his Righteousness, holy and learned, speak forth!
YASNA VIII.
OFFERING OF THE MEAT-OFFERING IN PARTICULAR.
The Faituful PARTAKE. 1. A blessing is Righteousness (called) the Best. It is weal ; it is weal to this (man), When toward Righteousness Best there is right.
I offer the Myazda (of the) meat-offering with a complete and sacred offering ; and I offer Haurvatatât (who guards the water), and Ameretatât (who guards the plants and the wood), and the Alesh of the blessed Kine; and I offer the Haoma and the Haoma-juice, the wood-billets and the perfume for the praise of Ahura Mazda, and of the Ahuna-vairya, the veracious word, and for that of the pious and beneficent Prayer for blessings, and for the redoubted Curse of the wise, and for the praise of the Haoma, and of the Mãthra of the holy Zarathustra ; and may it come to us with sacred fulness (to accept and to recompense our gift).
