| Explanation : The passage from
`aetat
dim' up to `dămanăm, ashaonăm' is here taken from Yasna Hă 27. The
reliable explanation of what `all these to dedicate' can be given from
Yasna Hă 1 up to the end of Yasna Hă 26; its main aim (of whatever
prayers and votive offerings being dedicated) is to please the Creator
Ahura Mazda, Ameshăspands - the Holy Immortals and other yazatas and to
sing their glory and to defeat Ahriman and his daevas and drujas. |
