Explanation : (The purport is that virtuous and benevolent
deeds are originated by men of good intelligence, but a man of wicked
intelligence performs wicked deeds. The end of a good, virtuous and
religious man is good. To such a person, during his own life-time as
well as at the time of death, there arises a great satisfaction that he
spent his life in causing prosperity to the world, in doing good to his
own companions and, in rendering help to the poor and needy persons. On
the other hand, he who commits sinful, immoral deeds suffers the punishment
of hell, (see my Yasht Bă Maeni, Fragard II and III of
Hadokht Nask). |

* Original meaning, is done with knowledge or intelligence' root ash
= ar = sanskrit aj = to lead; or alternatively : good deeds obtain
heaven (root Sanskrit ash = to obtain, to get) |

# Never abstain ye from three best things which are well-considered
thought, well-spoken word and well-done deed, (i.e. ye acquire them).
Abstain ye from three worst things (which are) evil-thoughts, evil-words
and evil-deeds )i.e. do not acquire them). (See Vendidad Fragard 18th,
paras 17 and 25) |

# Although this prayer is recited only during the Havan Găh, there
