[Hail unto the Sun, the swift-horsed! May Ahura Mazda be rejoiced Hail unto thee, O Ahura Mazda, in the threefold way [Hail unto thee] before all other creatures!

Hail unto you, O Amesha-Speṇtas, who are all of you of one accord with the Sun!

May this prayer come unto Ahura Mazda! May it come unto the Amesha-Speṇtas! May it come unto the Fravashis of the holy Ones! May it come unto the Sovereign Vayu of the long Period

[Hail unto the Sun, the swift-horsed!]

May Ahura Mazda be rejoiced! May Angra Mainyu be destroyed! by those who do truly what is the foremost wish (of God).

I recite the ‘Praise of Holiness :’

I praise well-thought, well-spoken, and well-done thoughts, words, and deeds. I embrace all good thoughts, good words, and good deeds; I reject all evil thoughts, evil words, and evil deeds.

I give sacrifice and prayer unto you, O Amesha-Spentas! even with the fullness of my thoughts, of my words, of my deeds, and of my heart: I give unto you even my own life.

I recite the ‘Praise of Holiness :’

‘Ashem Vohū: Holiness is the best of all good. Well is it for it, well is it for that holiness which is perfection of holiness!’

Hail to Ahura Mazda!

Hail to the Amesha-Speṇtas!

Hail to Mithra, the lord of wide pastures!

Hail to the Sun, the swift-horsed!

Hail to the two eyes of Ahura Mazda!

Hail to the Bull!

Hail to Gaya

Hail to the Fravashi of the holy Spitama Zarathuśtra!

Hail to the whole of the holy creation that was, is, or will be!

May I grow in health of body through Vohu-Manō, Khshathra, and Asha, and come to that luminous space, to that highest of all high things when the world, O Speṇta Mainyu! has come to an end!

Ashem Vohū: Holiness is the best of all good …
