YASTS AND SÎRÔZAHS.
155. We worship the spirit, conscience, perception, soul, and Fravashi of the holy men and holy women who struggle, will struggle, or have struggled, and teach the Law, and who have struggled for holiness.
Yênhê hâtãm: All those beings to whom Ahura Mazda ....
Yatha a hû vairyô: The will of the Lord is the law of holiness....
156. The Fravashis of the faithful, awful and overpowering, awful and victorious; the Fravashis of the men of the primitive law; the Fravashis of the next-of-kin; may these Fravashis come satisfied into this house; may they walk satisfied through this house!
157. May they, being satisfied, bless this house with the presence of the kind Ashi Vanguhi! May they leave this house satisfied! May they carry back from here hymns and worship to the Maker, Ahura Mazda, and the Amesha-Spentas ! May they not leave this house of us, the worshippers of Mazda, complaining !
158. Yathâ ahû vairyô: The will of the Lord is the law of holiness....
I bless the sacrifice and prayer, and the strength and vigour of the awful, overpowering Fravashis of the faithful; of the Fravashis of the men of the primitive law; of the Fravashis of the next-of-kin. Ashem Vohd: 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.
Who shall worship the Fravashis.
