We worship all those Beings whom Ahura Mazda knows to be best for worship according to Asha, male and female. 10. Yatha Ahu Vairyo...(2). I desire worship and adoration and strength and force for Sraosha, companion of Ashi, procuring rewards, victorious, who furthers the world, (and) the very straight Razishta and Arshtad, who further the world, who augment the world. Ashem Vohu.... Bestow on him riches... (Recite SrB5.) Niyayeshes (litanies) --------------------- Khwarshed Niyayesh (Sun Litany) ------------------------------- Translation by Dhalla, 1908. 0. In the name of God. I praise and invoke the creator Ormazd, the radiant, glorious, omniscient, maker, lord of lords, king over all kings, watchful, creator of the universe, giver of daily bread, powerful, strong, eternal, forgiver, merciful, loving, mighty, wise, holy, and nourisher. May (his) just kingdom be imperishable. May the majesty and glory of Ormazd, the beneficent lord, increase. (Hither) may come the immortal, radiant, swift-horsed Sun. Of all sins ... I repent. 1. Homage to you, O Ahura Mazda, trice prior to other creatures. Homage to you, O Amesha Spentas, all of one accord with the Sun. May this (homage) seek its way so as to reach to Ahura Mazda, this (homage) to the Amesha Spentas, this (homage) to the Fravashis of the righteous, this to Vayu, that follows its own law for the Long Period. 2. Propitiation to Ahura Mazda.... I praise Asha.
