It is he who takes the seven Amesha-Spentas, the all-ruling,the all-beneficent, as a shield against his enemies.We worship the Law of the worshippers of Mazda; we worshipthe waters coming in the shape of a horse, made by Mazda.

He has renounced trespasses and faults, O Zarathustra! hehas renounced all trespasses and faults, O Zarathustra! when hethrows down the destroyer of Vohu-Mano and his words, with ahundred times hundredfold, with a many times manifold preachingand smiting, and he takes away the Law of Mazda, that was carriedaway as a prisoner, from the hands of the [ungodly], who aredestroyed by his strength.Ashem Vohu: Holiness is the best of all good....
