We sacrifice unto Mithra, the lord of wide pastures, who is truth-speaking, a chief in assemblies, with a thousand ears, well-shapen, with ten thousand eyes, high, with full knowledge, strong, sleepless, and ever awake?
7. We sacrifice unto Mithra, the lord of all countries, whom Ahura Mazda made the most glorious of all the gods in the world unseen 3.
So may Mithra and Ahura, the two great gods, come to us for help!
We sacrifice unto the bright, undying, shining, swift-horsed Sun.
8. We sacrifice unto Tistrya, whose sight is sound 4
We sacrifice unto Tistrya; we sacrifice unto the rains of Tistrya 6.
We sacrifice unto Tistrya, bright and glorious.
We sacrifice unto the star Vanante, made by Mazda.
