1 May Ahura Mazda [GOD the Wise Lord] be rejoiced! ....

Unto [GOD, Maker of] the good Waters, made by Mazda; unto [GOD, Maker of] the holy water-spring Ardvi Sura Anahita [GOD's river]; unto [GOD, Maker of] all waters, made by Mazda; unto [GOD, Maker of] all plants, made by Mazda,

Be propitiation ....

2 Ahura Mazda spake unto Spitama Zarathushtra, saying: "Offer up a sacrifice, O Spitama Zarathushtra! [to Me, remembering] this spring of Mine, Ardvi Sura Anahita ....

3 "Who makes the seed of all males pure, who makes the womb of all females pure for bringing forth ....

4 "The large river, known afar, that is as large as the whole of the waters that run along the earth ....

5 "All the shores of the sea Vouru-Kasha are boiling over, all the middle of it is boiling over, when she runs down there ....

6 "From this river of Mine alone flow all the waters that spread all over the seven Karshvares;

7 "I, Ahura Mazda, brought it down with mighty vigour, for the increase of the house, of the borough, of the town, of the country.

8 "He from whom she will hear the staota yesnya; he from whom she will hear the Ahuna Vairya; he from whom she will hear the Ashem Vohu; he by whom the good waters will be made pure; with the words of the holy hymns, he will enter first the Garo-nmana [Paradise] of Ahura Mazda: [I] will give him the boons asked for."

9 For [His] brightness and glory, I will offer [Him] a sacrifice worth being heard; I will offer [Him] a sacrifice well-performed. Thus mayest Thou advise us when Thou art appealed to! Mayest Thou be most fully worshipped.

We sacrifice [to GOD alone, Maker of] the holy Ardvi Sura Anahita with libations. We sacrifice [to GOD alone, Maker of] Ardvi Sura Anahita, the holy and master of holiness, with the Haoma and meat, with the baresma, with the wisdom of the tongue, with the holy spells [prayers], with the words, with the deeds, with the libations, and with the rightly-spoken words.

Yenhe hatam: All those beings of whom Ahura Mazda ....

10 Yatha ahu vairyo: The will of the Lord is the law of holiness ....

I bless the sacrifice and prayer, and the strength and vigour of the holy water-spring Anahita.

[Give] unto that man brightness and glory, .... give him the bright, all-happy, blissful abode of the holy Ones.
