| @ Meher yazata is called the just Judge. Its reason is that after the
passing away of a person he proceeds towards the Chinvat Bridge on the
fourth day at dawn, where Meher Yazata, Srosh Yazata and Rashne Yazata,
after weighing all the actions committed by him in this world, assign
him the proper place (Heaven, purgatory or hell) |

* There are various meanings of the word Meher, who is
called in Avesta `Mithra' :- light, origin of light, the harbinger of
the Sun, twilight; a contract, promise, an agreement, truth, justice,
friendship, love; the yazata presiding over light and truthfulness; the
yazata helping the just and virtuous persons and punishing the liar and
wicked persons; the judge at the Chinvt Bridge of the souls of the dead.
We have the full details about the functions of Meher Yazata and his
praise from the Meher Yasht. In former times the worship of Meher yazata
was spread more than that of the other yazatas. Some hint about it is
seen from the later portion of Meher Niăesh and Meher Yasht. For
further details, see a booklet in English on `A Lecture on Mithraic
Worship', by Sheth Kharshedji Rustomji Kama. |

| # Avesta word Sura as compared with
Sanskrit shula is translated by me as `weapon'. According
to my view a reference here is made about the weapon of
Meher yazad or Srosh yazad. In its corroboration we get
actual Avestan writing from other places. In para 96 of
the Meher yasht it is stated that in order to smite the
wicked and the sinful persons Meher yazata keeps a heavy
mace in his hand. Moreover, it is stated in karda 12 of
Srosh yasht large and in para 15 of Vendidăd 8 Frakart
19th, that Srosh yazata keeps a powerful weapon in his
hands for smiting the skulls of demons. The original
meaning of `Zarenumantem' is `wrathful' and I have derived
the meaning `terrible, horrible' from it. Avesta word
Zarenu = (German) Zorn = wrath, anger. |

@ Fravashi5. |
| @ Fravashi and soul are two quite

Zoroastrians think. This will be clearly seen from this paragraph
as well as from para 149 of Fravartin yasht and from yasna Hăs 26
and 55 respectively. |
| Fravashi, i.e. a spiritual element showing
the path of goodness and heaven to the soul. About Fravashi, in the
Avesta, it is mentioned that the Fravashis of all living
beings, of those dead and those that shall be born hereafter, are
different and varied. In support thereof see yasna Hă 24, para
5.
Moreover, another meaning of `Fravashi', (similar to English
Prototype), is also `Original specimen, original form, original
root' of anything, e.g. the Fravashi of trees and plants is its
root, seed. |
| There is a spiritual element in the body of man which
is responsible (accountable) in the world beyond, for good or bad deeds done by
him in this world; its name is `soul'. The soul attains heaven or
hell in accordance with the deeds done by it in the world, see my
translation of Vendidäd, Frakart 19, paras 27-32. |

This we worship in front #45 of the trees44
pertaining to the Baresma.46
|

# i.e. where the trees of Baresma grow.
Its significance is that we revere Meher yazata whose authority and
chieftainship is predominant in this, (i.e. Iran) and other surrounding
countries. If the meaning of Meher as stated in the beginning of this Niăesh
be taken as "light", the significance of this para would be :
`We praise the light of the Sun which is pervading in all the
countries'.

| # This entire portion to be murmured is in
Pazand. The reason
being it is the Pazand language, which is different from that of
the Avestä. Therefore it cannot be prayed loudly. This is so done
as, recitation of a certain portion of the Avesta is left out
after reciting the Păzand portion. Whatever Päzand passages that
occur before the Avestan text or at its end are not to be recited
in murmur but are recited loudly. |
