Transliterated Text:

nôit tâ-îm xshnâush vaêpyô
kevînô peretô zemô
zarathushtrem spitâmem
hyat ahmî urûraost ashtô
hyat hôi îm caratascâ
aodereshcâ zôishenû vâzâ.

Translated Text:

The sagacious prince did not satisfy me,
Zarathushtra Spitama,
on this wide earth
when he obstructed me in my gain there,
because I have been quick and conveying
in my walks and talks.

Commentary:

Besides his companions, Zarathushtra had a number of antagonists, one of them an unnamed learned prince. Wherever Zarathushtra went, he was working against him because he was bothered that Zarathushtra had great success in his teachings, debates, and conversations.

Pondering Point:

“Deceitful people in power will always seek to obstruct the wise who spread the truth of their evil deeds.”
