Transliterated Text:

kê urvathô spitamâi
zarathushtrâi nâ mazdâ
kê vâ ashâ âfrashtâ
kâ speñtâ âramaitish
kê vâ vanghêush mananghô
acistâ magâi ereshvô.

Translated Text:

Wise One, which person is a friend of mine,
Zarathushtra Spitama?
Who, indeed, consults righteousness?
With whom is the progressive serenity?
Who, indeed, considers himself rightful
to belong to good mind and to the Fellowship?

Commentary:

These questions point to the type of person Zarathushtra considers a companion, a person who consults righteousness, lives a life of progressive tranquility, uses his good mind, is a member of the Zarathushtrian Fellowship, and considers himself a rightful person.

Pondering Point:

“Seek friends who provide righteousness and truthfulness to your friendship.”
