“Text: Vanghucha vanghuyaoscha afrinami … the end”.
Good men, good women most acclaimed /blessed, All righteous creation— present, past and future, Energy of the righteous truth (Ashishangh) — saviour, sender of help ad nauseum against the wicked, irreligious people, evil and possessing the druj, friend to him who works with Him (Hormazd), friend who advises;
Keeper of all health giving remedies, of water, of bovine, of our souls;
Giver of health, to all who are injured /tormented, destroy the pain /trouble given by those who worship the Demons (divs). The Destroyer of pain of this house, of the pain of the householder of this house;
I laud you!
All the philanthropists and all workers towards rectitude, highest are; Giver of help for the longest time, support us (reach out to us from behind); Because of whom (Ahura Mazda), the most Majestic(Ahura Mazda), most high righteousness (Ahura Mazda), we receive from the pure Ameshaspends (ability) to praise them (those philanthropists and workers for rectitude), to worship them (Yasnemcha), to offer latria to/ invoke them (Vahmemcha), to make them happy (Khushnaothriacha), to praise/glorify them (Farastaicha). To propagate/ establish this reverence (nmanhe), to propagate/establish the World Order/Eternal Law born of Staota (colour vibrations), to face all evil born of Staota* (here Staota would mean the bad deeds done in the manifested world), I extol the judicious/ one who the good sense (hudao) has, to follow the Eternal Law.
Rule thou, O Hormazd as per your will, towards good fortune/prosperity/ health (Ushtacha), as you may like to (Khshaesha), over all that is under your sway (Damanam); rule over the waters, rule over plant world, rule over all the good that has the seed / originates in the principles of the Eternal /Natural Law
(Asha); as You wish, rule over ‘Asha endowed (Asha sanctified) legitimate gifts/phenomenon.
May a ruler, not a man of druj (dravantem**), rule at will and righteous be,
May he who troubles and makes unhappy, be supplanted (hamisto) by the beneficent one (spentahe) and fail to rule/ not to be able to rule (dethroned).
Worthy of the right (Hakashaya), persons like me (who am Zoroaster), the foremost in/ head of the household, village, town, will guide the words, acts and deeds in accordance with this religion which is Ahuirish Jarthutrish. ***
So that this joy our minds fill, our souls best, with heavenly glory be, bodies be best in this world; so that we may meet Hormazd without impediments (Akaoschoit= having atoned for all evil).
The best World Order, the Ultimate Eternal Law, enables one to see You, nearer to You we come, always have Your companionship. (Pray one Ashem Vohu)

** DARVAND literally means a creature born of a child of an angel and a human, a demi-god most often of a male celestial and an earthly woman. Darvand is a corruption of the Avesta word ‘dregvant’ means ‘wicked’/ ‘unethical’ as against ‘ashavan’ or righteous.

To be recited at dawn only and at no other time.
“From Atha iman vacho drenjayoish….Spentahe Mainyeush damanam ashaonam.”
Thus, must you pray these words written underneath, which are very beneficial, giver of good health (tandarosti) you must try these; you must sing 5 Ahunavars out aloud. (Pray 5 Yatha Ahu Vairyos).
*Ahuna Vairyo (Yatha Ahu Vairyo) is the Lord of the body.
Ahuna Vairyo (Yatha Ahu Vairyo) is the Lord of the body.
Ahuna Vairyo (Yatha Ahu Vairyo) is the Lord of the body.
(Pray one Yatha Ahu Vairyo).
*Ahunem Vairim tanum paiti. Since I am transliterating the prayer and since the word ‘paiti’ actually means a ‘lord’, I preferred to do it this way.
The phrase is normally translated to say, ‘Ahunavar protects the body’. ‘Ahunavar is the lord of the body’, holds on to the essence of the word and the spirit without loss or change of meaning from the usual translations.
Pray Kemna Mazda. (Transliteration available on this blog at:
Pray 21Yatha Ahu Vairyo.
Pray 12 Ashem Vohu.
Homage to you, O Dawn!
Homage to you, O Dawn!
Homage to you, O Dawn!
For these are, in the entire world, the highest latria to:
The one and only authority over life/spirit/world, Ahura Mazda;
Wield weapons against Angre Mainyu’s Evil;
Wield weapons against cruel/furious/ wrathful demon (aeshem div), who brandishes deadly/fierce weapons;
To wield weapons against the divs of the **Mazandaran province; 
To wield weapons against the entire world of the divs, the irreligious of the ***Gilan province.
(Pray in silence, Baaj)
Vanquish the mal-wisdom that breaks the Law (****ghanamino); Oh Ahriman a thousand, ten thousand times cursed/condemned be.
(Pray aloud again)
Flourish O Hormazd! Custodian of splendour/wealth, glorious; flourish! The pure Ameshaspends; flourish! The brilliant Sirius star (Tishtryehe) glorious, splendorous; flourish! O pure men; flourish! O Beneficent Spirit of creation pure.
(Pray 2 Yatha Vairyo).
** Mazandaran: A province in the north of Iran adjoining Gilan is not the same
Mazandaran which Rustom campaigned against and fought and killed Sohrab. Seven roads and railways were built in the beginning of last century, under the Reza Shah, to connect the northern Elbruz to the southern slopes; thereafter, Gilan and Mazandaran were together termed as ‘Shomal’ (North Iran). Mazandaran is the capital of North Iran. The name of the province literally means “the gate or valley of giants” (Avesta ‘Mazainya’ = ‘giant’). The province is variously called Tabarestan, Tabaria, Tapurestan, and Tapuria. In Armenia, the Caspian Sea is still known as Mazandaran Sea.
*** GILAN is one of the provinces situated in Region 3 of Iran. Iran has thirty-
one provinces. In Latin the place is spelt ‘Guilan’.

On the southern shores of the Caspian Sea, Mazandaran lies to its west; Ardabil (another Iranian province) lies to its east, with Zanjan and Qazvin and to its south. It touches the Republic of Azerbaijan in the north. Russia lies across the Caspian Sea.
The northern part of Gilan includes the Iranian Talish (an ethnic group of people living in the region which is shared between Iran and Azerbaijan). Its main city of Rasht lies in the center of Gilan.
Mausuleh is a well-known tourist destination. Bandar-E-Anzali ia the commercial port.
****Ghanamino means a person who has the warped wisdom to break the Law (Raasti, Tao) and also includes one who breaks the temporal enacted law of a Nation. Ghanamino also means an evil minded person who does not desist from relentless destruction of the good.
