Transliterated Text:

ýê thwat mazdâ asrushtîm
akemcâ manô ýazâi apâ
hvaêtêushcâ tarêmaitîm
verezênah'yâcâ nazdishtãm drujem
airyamanascâ nadeñtô
gêushcâ vâstrât acishtem mañtûm.

Translated Text:

Wise One, I am one who venerates away
inconsideration and evil mind from You;
perverse-mind from the family;
related wrong from the fellowship;
revile from the fellowship;
and extremely evil counseling from the world settlements.

Commentary:

Zarathushtra vows to revolutionize society by eliminating all evil and superstitious conceptions of the Wise One, improper thinking among family members, wrong practice within the community, abuse and hatred among kindred human beings, and very harmful recommendations ruling high in the world—a thorough ethical cleansing.

Pondering Point:

“Seek to drive away ills that pervade society by relying on ever growing wisdom and spiritual growth.”
