1 This seems to mean that there are seven passages of the Yasna in the celebration at the Havan Gah, at which the Zaotar lays down on the Mâhrû the Baresman which he holds in his hand. Cf. the Guimet Zend-Avesta. * In the Visperad and the Dvâzdâhômåst.
The words ahunan vairån are in Pahlavi, and thritya is omitted.
