Through the action of this (His) Good Mind (as he works his grace within us) the benevolently wise 6 One declared a result as its fruit, He knowing the bountiful Piety, the creatrix of righteous beings 7 . These all, O Mazda Ahura! in Thy Kingdom (are p. 88 [paragraph continues] 'helps to our progress') for they smite (our tyrants) with fear 1 . 11. And for Thee hath Âramaiti (who is Our Piety) increased both the Universal Weal and (its continuance in) Immortality, and (with them as ever united) the Righteous (ritual and moral) Order (established and made firm) in the Kingdom of (Thy Good Mind). Those powerful lasting two (hath she increased) to (give us the needful) food 2 . And through these, O Mazda! art Thou with Thy perfect expellers of hate 3 . (Thou removest Thy foes afar 4 !) 12. What then are Thy regulations 5 ? And what wilt Thou? What of praise, or of (fuller) offering? Speak forth that we hear it, O Mazda! what will establish the blessed rewards of Thine ordinance 6 ! p. 89 [paragraph continues] Teach Thou us the paths through Righteousness, those verily trod by (Thy) Good Mind 1 as he lives within Thy saints 2 . 13. (Do I ask what is that path?) That way which Thou declarest to me as the path of the Good Mind, O Ahura! (is made 3 in its parts by) the religious precepts and laws of the Saviours, wherein the well-doer thrives 4 from (his) Righteousness 5 . And it marks for the good a reward of which Thou art Thyself the bestower. 14. For that (reward), O Mazda! ye have given as the one to be chosen for (our) bodily 6 life through p. 90 the deeds of Thy Good Mind (in us). They who work in the toil of the mother 1 . Kine, these further 2 Your merciful care through the understanding's action 3 , and (taught) by Thine Order's (word) 4 . 15. Yea, (show me, O Mazda! that path and its reward); tell me the best (of truths); reveal the best words and best actions, and the confessing 5 prayer of the praiser through Thy Good Mind (living within us); and through the Righteous Order, O Ahura! And by Your Sovereign Power and grace may’st Thou make life really progressive 6 (till perfection shall have been reached)!
