Transliterated Text:

at vê staotâ aojâi mazdâ anghâcâ
ýavat ashâ tavâcâ isâicâ
dâtâ anghêush aredat vohû mananghâ
haithyâ-vareshtãm hyat vasnâ ferashôtemem.

Translated Text:

I am, Wise One, Your praiser and shall continue to regard myself so,
as long as I have the strength and the will through righteousness.
This shall promote the laws of life through good mind,
for true actions make life most renovated as the Lord wishes.

Commentary:

The dedication to the Divine Mission is thorough, as Zarathushtra would continue until his very last breath. His dedication to duty would promote the Laws of Life for mankind; because; when truly translated into action, life on earth will be always fresh, always modern. And Mazda wishes us to continuously renovate our lives and life as a whole.

Note: The last line haithyâ-vareshtãm hyat vasnâ ferashotemem “true actions make life most renovated as God wishes..” is the beginning of the Gathic part of the Koshti prayer, and with it on the lips, the girdle is placed on the waist for girding.

Pondering Point:

“As long as we are able, we should seek to renovate existence by actualizing the laws which Ahura Mazda has established for us.”
