Plain text of The Gatha Spenta Mainyu · Yasna XLII
A Supplement to the Haptanghaiti.
1 We praise Thee, O God, with the Bountiful Immortals, Thy angels and servants, with the entire collection of this Yasna, Haptanghaiti (as we sum up all). And we give thanks to God for the fountains of the waters, and the fordings of the rivers, the forkings of the highways, and the meetings of the roads.
2 And we give thanks to God for the hills that run with torrents, and the lakes that brim with waters, and the corn that fills the corn-fields; and we give thanks to Him, both the Protector and the Creator, the Lord, who sent Zarathustra.
3 And we give thanks to God for earth and heaven, and for the stormy wind that the Wise Lord made, and for the peak of high Haraiti, and for the land, and all things good.
4 And we honour the Good Mind in the living, and the souls of the righteous. And we give thanks to God for the fish of fifty fins, and for that sacred beast the Unicorn which stands in Vouru-kasha, and for that sea of Vouru-kasha where he stands, (5) and for the Haoma, golden-flowered, growing on the heights; yea, for the Haoma that restores us, and aids this world's advance, the provision of God. We give thanks for the Haoma that driveth death afar, (6) and for the flood-streams of the waters, and the great flights of the birds, and for the approaches of the priests of the fire, as they approach us from afar and seek to gain the provinces, and spread the knowledge of the worship. And we give thanks to God for the Bountiful Immortals all!
