Transliterated Text:

gavôi adâish tâish shyaothanâish
ýâish vahishtâish fraêshyâmahî
râmâchâ vâstremchâ dazdyâi
surunvataschâ asurunvataschâ
xshayañtaschâ axshayañtaschâ.

Translated Text:

For the living world, with the reward
Of the deeds that are the best, we seek
That peace and habitation be given
To the learning and the not-learning,
To the ruling and the not-ruling.

Commentary:

The congregation prays for a world in which the best of deeds brings peace and a settled living of sufficiency for all, whether learning (in modern usage literate) or still illiterate, enjoying power and wealth or the ruled-over and needy, they pray for a good life for all without discrimination.

Pondering Point:

“We hold that everyone has a right to live a good and peaceful life.”
