Plain text of The Gatha Spenta Mainyu · Visparad XVI
1 And we give thanks to God for the fire here, His sign, and for the holy signs having the seed of fire in them, and for the just judgements having the seed of fire in them; and we remember the souls of the saints. And we give thanks for Obedience who smites with victory, and for the holy man, and the entire creation of the holy and the clean. 2. And we remember the Blessedness and the soul of Zarathustra Spitama, the saint. And we remember the saints and their blessed souls as of one. And we remember all their souls as considered each apart, and those of the saints within the province, and those of the saints without the province; yea, we remember the souls of holy men and holy women, wherever they may be, those devoted to the order of the Faith. And we give thanks to God for those whose service for us in the Yasna the Wise Lord, the holy, has known as the better, and of these Zarathustra is the living chief and master. And we give thanks to God for the fields and the waters, the lands and the plants, and for the constituent parts of the Yasna Haptanghaiti, its chapters, its metred lines, its words, and word-structure.
