1 Let Sraosha, the listening Obedience, be present here for the worship of God, the Wise Lord, the most beneficent and holy, who is desired by us as at the first, so at the last; and so again may attentive Obedience be present here for the worship of God, the Wise Lord, the most beneficent and the holy, who is so desired by us.
