xshayãs mazdâ ahurâ

êeânû ishyêñg anghayâ.

Translated Text:

Every teaching of the talented
is the best to listen to.
Wise Lord, I am powerful enough
to meet the two-fold threats,
and restrain the crime of the wrongful
directed against friends.

Commentary:

Zarathushtra, the genius, declares all his teachings the best to listen to. He is confident that he will be able to meet the threat posed by the priests and the princes. He is sure to stop the cruelty done to his companions.

Pondering Point:

“Listen to the counsels of the wise and talented people in your life.”
