Dînkard Book IX: Chapter LXVIII

Bakŏ Nask. 1. The beginning of the twenty-second fargard, the Airyaman 1, is the last question (frasnŏ) beyond the five Gâthas; it is taught for the dominion of Aûharmazd only by him—that is, it is making him ruler of himself—who shall do that which is declared by the passage:—Yâ erezegyôi dâhî p. 384 drigaovê vahyô 1: who gives delights (vâyagânŏ) to him who is a right-living poor man 2—preservation from the destroyer, and the consummation of every happiness. 2. It is perfect excellence that is righteousness. 383:1 See Chap. XXIII, 1 n; it is here written aîremanŏ in Pahlavi. 384:1 See Yas. LIII, 9 d. 384:2 See Pahl. Yas. LII, 9 d, and Chaps. XLV, 10, XLVII, 17.
