Plain text of The Gatha Spenta Mainyu · Visparad XV

1 Hold your feet in readiness, and your two hands, and your understandings, O ye Zarathustrian worshippers of the Wise Lord! for the well-doing of lawful deeds in accordance with the sacred Order, and for the avoidance of the unlawful and evil deeds which are contrary to the order of worship. Let the good deeds for the furtherance of husbandry be done here. Render ye the needy rich. 2. Let Obedience be present here for the worship of the Wise Lord, the most helpful, and the holy, who is so desired by us in the pronunciation, and for the service, and the pondering of the Yasna Haptanghaiti, for the heart's devotion to it, for its memorisation, and its victorious and holy recital, without addition or omission, (3) which has been intoned, and which shall yet be uttered as great, powerful, smiting with victory, separate from harmful malice, for the pronunciation of victorious words in the name of the Wise Lord, over His sign of fire. (4, 5 are identical with Visp. IX, 6, 7.)
