1. WESTERGAARD'S FRAGMENTS.

2. All good thoughts, all good words, all good deeds will reach Paradise.
All evil thoughts, all evil words, all evil deeds will reach Hell.
And all good thoughts, all good words, all good deeds are the badge of the righteous for Paradise.
IV. GLORIFICATION OF THE AIRYAMA ISHYÓ PRAYER.
This fragment is the twenty-third and last Fargard of one of the Gåthic Nasks, the Varshtmânsar, which was a commentary in vulgar Zend on the Gatha texts. Its Pahlavi translation is found in the Dinkart, IX, 46. See the Airyama Ishyô itself, Yasna LIV, Vendîdad XX, 11.
1. The Airyana Ishyð I declare, O pure Spitama, the greatest of all words; I created it as the most triumphant of all words. That is the word that the Saosyants' will pronounce.
2. Through it, I proclaim it, О Spitama, I become sovereign over my creation, I, Ahura Mazda; and through it Angra Mainyu, of the bad religion, shall lose the sovereignty over his own creation, O Spitama Zarathustra.
3. Angra Mainyu shall hide under the earth; under the earth shall the demons hide. The dead shall rise up, life shall come back to the bodies and they shall keep the breath.
This fragment is composed of two series of invocations which differ only in the same manner as the Lesser Sîrôza differs from
The great saints of Mazdeism, whose virtue and merits are to bring about the decisive victory of Ahura over Angra Mainyu and the production of the resurrection.
