Translated Text:

The good dominion is to be chosen.
It is the best dividend.
In fact, it is devotion for the dedicated,
who, Wise One, moves best
within righteousness by his deeds.
It is for this dominion that I am working for all of us now.

Commentary:

A good government must be an elected one; this is one of the best gains one can have in this life. To serve a chosen government means to serve it best with devotion based on righteous deeds. It is for such a dominion, a governmental system, that Zarathushtra determined was best for us, mankind; as such, he founded the foremost democracy—mental and physical, spiritual and material.

Pondering Point:

“Ideal truth and order in the world may be achieved through our good deeds and conscious efforts.”
