the Righteous. Whether one is lord of little or of much, he is
to show love to the righteous, but be ill unto the Liar.
5. And all the best things which by this Holy Spirit thou hast
promised to the righteous, O Mazda Ahura, shall the Liar partake
of them without thy will, who by his actions is on the side of
Ill Thought?
6. Through this holy Spirit, Mazda Ahura, and through the Fire
thou wilt give the division of good to the two parties, with support
of Piety and Right. This verily will convert many who are ready
to hear.
- CHAPTER 48
1. When at the Recompensings the Right shall smite the Liar,
so that what was long since made known shall be assigned to eternity
to Daevas and men, then will it exalt with thy blessings, Ahura,
him who prays to thee.
2. Tell me, for thou art he that knows, O Ahura: - shall the
Righteous smite the Liar before the retributions come which thou
hast conceived? That were indeed a message to bless the world.
3. For him that knows, that is the best of teachings which the
beneficent Ahura teaches through the Right, he the holy one, even
thyself, O Mazda, that knows the secret lore through the wisdom
of Good Thought.
4. Whoso, O Mazda, makes his thought (now) better, (now) worse,
and likewise his Self by action and by word, and follows his own
inclinations, wishes, and choices, he shall in thy purpose be
in a separate place at last.
5. Let good rulers rule us, not evil rulers with the actions
of the Good Lore, O Piety! Perfect thou for man, O thou most good,
the future birth, and for the cow skilled husbandry.
6. She (Armaiti) will give us peaceful dwelling, she will give
lasting life and strength, she the beloved of Good Thought. For
it (the cattle) Mazda Ahura made the plants to grow at the birth
of the First Life, through Right.
7. Violence must be put down! against cruelty make a stand, ye
who would make sure of the reward of Good Thought through Right,
to whose company the holy man belongs. His dwelling place shall
be in thy House, O Ahura.
8. Is the possession of thy good Dominion, Mazda, is that of
thy Destiny assured to me Ahura? Will thy manifestation, O thou
Right, be welcome to the pious, even the weighing of actions by
the Good Spirit [Spenta Mainyu -JHP]?
9. When shall I know whether ye have power, O Mazda and Right,
over everyone whose destructiveness is a menace to me? Let the
revelation of Good Thought be confirmed unto me; the future deliverer
should know how his own destiny shall be.
10. When, O Mazda, will the nobles understand the message? When
will thou smite the filthiness of this intoxicant, through which
the Karapans evilly deceive, and the wicked lords of the lands
with purpose fell?1
+ NOTE: 1. Martin Schwartz tr: "When will they ban(ish) the filth
of that ditch/reciprocity-gift whereby ... the karapans commit
plunder", 'thus Yasna 48.10 contains no reference to intoxication,
let alone condemnation of haoma.' Flattery: 'the passage ... has
nothing remotely to do with sauma.' (Flattery & Schwartz,
Haoma and Harmaline, 1989, pp. 105, 6.)
11. When, O Mazda, shall Piety come with Right, with Dominion
the happy dwelling rich with pasture? Who are they that will make
peace with the bloodthirsty Liars? To whom will the Lore of Good
Thought come?
12.  For these
are the appointed smiters of Violence.
- CHAPTER 49
1. Ever has Bendva been for me the greatest obstacle, I who desire
to give satisfaction to those who are neglected, O Right, O Mazda.
With good Ada come to me, support me firmly. Prepare for him (his)
ruin, O Good Thought.
2. The perverter of this Bendva has long time impeded me, the
Liar who has fallen away from Right. He cares not that holy Piety
should be his, nor takes the counsel with Good Thought, O Mazda.
3. And in this belief (of ours), O Mazda, Right is laid down,
for blessing, in the heresy the Lie, for ruin. Therefore I strive
for the fellowship of Good Thought, I forbid all intercourse with
the Liar.
4. They who make the increase of violence and cruelty with their
tongues, the foes of cattle-nurture among its friends; whose ill
deeds prevail, not their good deeds: these (shall be) in the house
of the Daevas, (the place for) the Self of the Liar.
5. But he, O Mazda, - happiness and satiety be his who links
his own Self with Good Thought, being through Right an intimate
of Piety. And with all these (may I be) in Thy Dominion, Ahura.
6. I beseech you twain, O Mazda and the Right, to say what are
the plans of your will, that we may discern how we might teach
the Religion of such as you, O Ahura.
7. And this let Good Thought hear, O Mazda, let the Right hear,
do thou also listen, O Ahura, which men of the brotherhood, what
noble is it according to the Law who brings to the community fame.
8. On Frashaoshtra do thou bestow the most gladsome fellowship
with the Right - this I ask thee, O Mazda Ahura - and on myself
the hold on what is good in thy Dominion. To all eternity we would
be thy messengers.
9. Let the helper hear the ordinance, he that is created to bring
deliverance. The man of right words is no regarder of fellowship
with the Liar, if they that are partakers of Right are to make
their Selves partake in the best reward at the Judgment, O Jamaspa.
10. And this, O Mazda, will I put in thy care within thy House
- the Good Thought and the souls of the Righteous, their worship,
their Piety and zeal, that thou mayst guard it, O thou mighty
Dominion, with abiding power.
11.
12. What help hast thou, O Right, for Zarathushtra that calls
upon me? What hast thou, Good Thought? — for me who with praises
seeks your favor, O Mazda Ahura, longing for that which is best
in your possession.
- CHAPTER 50
1. (Zarathushtra:) Can my soul count on any one for help? Who
is there found for my herd, who for myself a protector, indeed,
at my call other than the Right and thyself. O Mazda Ahura, and
the Best Thought?
2. How, O Mazda, should one desire the luck-bringing cattle,
one who would fain it would come to him with the pasture?
(Mazda:) They that live uprightly according to the Right among
the many that look upon the sun, those whom they stand in judgment,
I will settle in the dwellings of the wise.
3. (Zarathushtra:) So this (reward) shall come to him through
the Right, O Mazda, (this reward) which by the Dominion and Good
Thought he promised, whomsoever by the power of his Destiny prospers
the neighboring possession that now the Liar holds.
4. I will worship you with praise, O Mazda Ahura, joined with
Right and Best Thought and Dominion, that they, desired of pious
men, may stand as Judges on the path of the obedient unto the
House of Song.
5. Assured by you, O Mazda Ahura and Right, are the pointings
of the hand - since you are well-disposed to your prophet - which
shall bring us to bliss, together with visible manifest help.
6. The prophet Zarathushtra, O Mazda, who lifts up his voice
in worship, as friend of Asha - may the Creator of Wisdom teach
me his ordinances through Good Thought, that my tongue may have
a pathway.
7. For you I will harness the swiftest steeds, stout and strong,
by the promptings of your praise, that ye may come hither, O Mazda,
Right, and Good thought.
8. Ever with verses that are recognized as those of pious zeal
I will come before you with outstretched hands, O Mazda, before
you, O thou Right, with worship of the faithful man, before you
with all the capacity of Good Thought.
9. With those prayers I would come and praise you, O Mazda and
thou Right, with actions of Good Thought. If I be master of my
own destiny as I will, then will I take thought for the portion
of the wise in the same.
10. Those actions that I shall achieve and those done aforetime,
and those, O Good Thought, that are precious in thy sight, the
rays of the sun, the shimmering uprisings of the days, all is
for your praise, O thou Right and Mazda Ahura.
11. Your praiser, Mazda, will I declare myself and be, so long,
O Right, as I have strength and power. May the Creator of the
world accomplish through Good Thought its fulfillment of all that
most perfectly answers to his will.
- CHAPTER 51
+ NOTE: Translation by Bartholomae, from I.J.S. Taraporewala, The
Divine Songs of Zarathushtra.
Notes in square brackets [] were added by JHP.
1. The good, the precious Dominion, as a most surpassing portion,
shall Right achieve for him that with zeal accomplishes what is
best through his actions, O Mazda. This will I now work out for
us.
2. Before all, O Mazda Ahura, assure me the Dominion of your
possession, O Right, and what is thine, O Piety. Your (Dominion)
of blessing give through Good Thought to him that prays.
3. Let your ears attend to those who in their deeds and utterances
hold to your words, Ahura and Right, to those of Good Thought,
for whom thou, Mazda, art the first teacher.
4. Where is the recompense for wrong to be found, where pardon
for the same? Where shall they attain the Right? Where is the
holy Piety, where Best Thought? Thy Dominions, where are they,
O Mazda?
5. All this (I) ask, whether the husbandman shall find cattle
in accordance with Right, he that is perfect in action, a man
of understanding, when he prays to him, who hath promised unto
the Wise the true Judge, in that he is Lord of the two destinies...
6. Even he, Ahura Mazda, who through his Dominion appoints what
is better than good to him that is attached to his will, but what
is worse than evil to him that obeys him not, at the last end
of life.
7. Give me, O thou that didst create the Ox and Waters and Plants,
Welfare and Immortality, by the Highest Spirit, O Mazda, strength
and continuance through Good Thought at the (Judge's) sentence.
8. Of these two things will I speak, O Mazda, - for one may speak
to the wise, - the ill that is threatened to the Liar, and the
happiness of him who clings to the Right. For he, the Prophet,
is glad of every one who says this to the wise.
9. What recompense thou wilt give to the two parties by thy red
Fire, by the molten metal, give us a sign of it in our souls -
even the bringing of ruin to the Liar, of blessing to the Righteous.
10.  I call the Right to come to me with good destiny.
11. What man is friend to Spitama Zarathushtra, O Mazda? Who will
let himself be counseled by Right? With whom is holy Piety? Or
who as an upright man is intent on the brotherhood of Good Thought?
12. The Kavi's wanton did not please Zarathushtra Spitama at the
Winter Gate, in that he stayed him from taking refuge with him,
and when there came to him also (Zarathushtra's) two steeds shivering
with cold.
13. Thus the Self of the Liar destroys for himself the assurance
of the right Way; whose soul shall tremble at the Revelation on
the Bridge of the Separator, having turned aside with deeds and
tongue from the Path of Right.
14. The Karapans will not obey the statutes and ordinances concerning
husbandry. For the pain they inflict upon the cattle, fulfill
upon them through their actions and judgments that judgment which
at the last shall bring them to the House of the Lie.
15. When Zarathushtra hath promised to the men of his brotherhood,
(which) in the House of Song Ahura Mazda hath first attained,
for all this I have looked through your blessings, Good Thought,
and those of Right.
16. Kavi Vishtaspa hath the creed which the holy Mazda Ahura with
Right hath devised, together with the dominion of the Brotherhood,
and the path of Good Thought. So be it accomplished after our
desire.
17. The fair form of one that is dear hath Frashaoshtra Hvogva
promised unto me: may sovereign Mazda Ahura grant that she attain
possession of the Right for her good Self.
18. This creed Jamaspa Hvogva chooses through Right, lordly in
substance. This Dominion they (choose) who have part in Good Thought.
This grant me, Ahura, that they may find in thee, Mazda, their
protection.
19. The man himself, O Maidyoi-Maungha Spitama, hath set this
before him after conceiving it in his own self. He that would
see life indeed, to him will he make known what in actions by
Mazda's ordinance is better during (this) existence.
20. Your blessings shall ye give us, all that are one in will,
with whom Right, Good Thought, Piety, and Mazda (are one) according
to promise, giving your aid when worshipped with reverence.
21. By Piety the man becomes Holy. Such person advances Right
through his thinking, his words, his action, his Self. By Good
Thought Mazda Ahura will give the Dominion. For this good Destiny
I long.
22. He, I ween, that Mazda Ahura knoweth among all that have been
and are, as one to whom in accordance with Right the best portion
falls for his prayer, these will I reverence by their own names
and go before them with honor.
- CHAPTER 52
A PRAYER FOR SANCTITY AND ITS BENEFITS.
+ NOTE: Translated by L. H. Mills (From Sacred Books of the East,
American Edition, 1898.)
1. I pray with benedictions for a benefit, and for the good,
even for the entire creation of the holy (and the clean); I beseech
for them for the (generation which is) now alive, for that which
is just coming into life, and for that which shall be hereafter.
And (I pray for that) sanctity which leads to prosperity, and
which has long afforded shelter, which goes on hand in hand with
it, which joins it in its walk, and of itself becoming its close
companion as it delivers forth its precepts, (2) bearing every
form of healing virtue which comes to us in waters, appertains
to cattle, or is found in plants, and overwhelming, all the harmful
malice of the Daevas, (and their servants) who might harm this
dwelling and its lord, (3) bringing good gifts, and better blessings,
given very early, and later (gifts), leading to successes, and
for a long time giving shelter. And so the greatest, and the best,
and most beautiful benefits of sanctity fall likewise to our lot
(4) for the sacrifice, homage, propitiation, and the praise of
the Bountiful Immortals, for the bringing prosperity to this abode,
and for the prosperity of the entire creation of the holy, and
the clean, (and as for this, so) for the opposition of the entire
evil creation. (And I pray for this) as I praise through Righteousness,
I who am beneficent, those who are (likewise of a better mind).
5-8. (See Y8.5-8.)
Vahishtoishti Gatha
- CHAPTER 53.
+ NOTE: Translation by Bartholomae, from I.J.S. Taraporewala, The
Divine Songs of Zarathushtra.
1. (Zarathushtra) - The best possession known is of Zarathushtra
Spitama, which is that Mazda Ahura will give him through Right
the glories of blessed life unto all time, and likewise to them
that practice and learn the words and actions of his Good Religion.
2. Then let them seek the pleasure of Mazda with thoughts, words,
and actions, unto him praise gladly, and seek his worship, even
Kava Vishtaspa, and Zarathushtra's son, the Spitamid, with Frashaoshtra,
making straight the paths for the Religion of the future Deliverer
which Ahura ordained.
3. Him, O Pouruchista, thou scion of Haechataspa and Spitama,
youngest of Zarathushtra's daughters, hath (Zarathushtra) appointed
as one to enjoin on them the fellowship with Good Thought, Right,
and Mazda. So take counsel with thine own understanding, with
good insight practice the holiest works of Piety.
4. (Jamaspa): Earnestly will I lead her to the Faith, that she
may serve her father and her husband, the farmers and the nobles,
as a righteous woman (serving) the righteous. The glorious heritage
of Good Thought ... shall Mazda Ahura give to her for all time.
5. (Zarathushtra): Teachings address I to maidens marrying, and
to you (bridegrooms) giving counsel. Lay them to heart and learn
to get them within your Selves in earnest attention to the Life
of Good Thought. Let each of you strive to excel the other in
the Right, for it will be a prize for that one.
6. So is it in fact, ye men and women! Whatever happiness ye
look for in the follower of the (...) that will be snatched away
from his person. To them the Liars, crying 'woe', shall be ill-food,
paradise shall be lost to them that despite righteousness. In
such wise ye destroy for yourselves the Spiritual Life.
7. And to you shall accrue the reward of the Brotherhood - in
so far as the most faithful zeal is in your flesh and blood -
there where the spirit of the Liar, cringing and cowering, shall
fall down into destruction. If you separate yourselves from the
Brotherhood, then will 'woe!' be your word at the end of things.
8. So they whose deeds are evil, let them be deceived, and let
them all howl, abandoned to ruin. Through good rulers let him
bring death and bloodshed upon them and peace from these (their
assaults) unto the happy villagers. Grief let him bring on those,
he that is the greatest, with the lord of death; and soon let
it be.
9. To men of evil creed belongs the place of corruption. They
that set themselves to contemn the worthy, despising righteousness,
forfeiting their own body. - Where is the Righteous Lord who shall
rob them of life and freedom? Thine Mazda is the Dominion, whereby
thou canst give to the right-living poor man the better portion.
- CHAPTER 54. The Airyema-Ishyo
1. Let the Airyaman, the desired friend and peersman, draw near
for grace to the men and to the women who are taught of Zarathushtra,
for the joyful grace of the Good Mind, whereby the conscience
may attain its wished-for recompense. I pray for the sacred reward
of the ritual order which is (likewise so much) to be desired;
and may Ahura Mazda grant it, (or cause it to increase).
2. We sacrifice to the Airyema-ishyo, the powerful, the victoriously
smiting, the opponent of assaulting malice, the greatest of the
sentences of the holy ritual order. And we sacrifice to the bounteous
Gathas that rule supreme in the ritual, the holy (and august).
And we sacrifice to the Praises of the Yasna which were the productions
of the world of old.
- CHAPTER 55
THE WORSHIP OF THE GATHAS AS CONCLUDED, THAT OF THE STAOTA
YESNYA AS BEGINNING.
1. We present hereby and we make known, as our offering to the
bountiful Gathas which rule (as the leading chants) within (the
appointed times and seasons of) the Ritual, all our landed riches,
and our persons, together with our very bones and tissues, our
forms and forces, our consciousness, our soul, and Fravashi.
2. That which Gathas (may) be to us, which are our guardians
and defenders, and our spiritual food, yea, which (may) be to
our souls both food and clothing, such are these Gathas to us,
guardians, and defenders, and (spiritual) food, even such they
are, both food and clothing to the soul.
And (may) they be to us (for this our offering) abundant givers
of rewards, and just and righteous ones, for the world beyond
the present, after the parting of our consciousness and body.
3. And may these (Praises of the Offering) come forth, and appear
for us with power and victorious assault, with health and healing,
with progress, and with growth, with preparation and protection,
with beneficence and sanctity, and abounding with gifts toward
him who can understand; yea, let them appear (with free liberality
to the enlightened), let them appear as Mazda, the most beneficent,
has produced them, He the one who is victorious when He smites,
and who helps the settlements advance, for the protection, and
the guarding of the religious order of the settlements which are
now being furthered, and of those which shall bring salvation
to us, and for the protection of the entire creation of the holy
(and the clean).
4. And may'st thou, (O Asha! who abidest within the Gathas),
give to every holy man who comes with this prayer for a blessing,
and endeavoring to help himself, according to his good thoughts,
and words, and deeds.
5. We are therefore worshipping both the (divine) Righteousness
and the Good Mind, and the bountiful Gathas, that rule as the
leading chants within (the times and the seasons of) the holy
ritual order.
6. And we worship the Praises of the Yasna which were the production
of the ancient world, those which are (now) recollected and put
in use, those which are now learned and taught, those which are
being held (in mind, and so) repeated, those remembered and recited,
and those worshipped, and thus the ones which further the world
through grace in its advance.
And we worship the part(s) of the Praises of the Yasna, and their
recitation as it is heard, even their memorized recital, and their
chanting, and their offering (as complete).
- CHAPTER 56
INTRODUCTION TO THE SROSH YASHT.
1. Let Sraosha (the listening Obedience) be present here for

aright, and dispose (of all) aright, the good, and for the worship
of the good Sanctity, or Blessedness, who is closely knit with
the Righteous Order, to perfect us, and to incite us. May Sraosha
(Obedience) be here present for the worship of the good waters,
he the good and the holy, as at the first, so at the last.
4. And so again may Sraosha, (Obedience) the good, be present
here for the worship of the good waters, and of the good and bountiful
Immortals, and of Blessedness the good who is closely knit with
the Righteous Order to perfect and to incite us. Yea, we worship
Sraosha the blessed and the stately, who smites with victory,
and who furthers the settlements in their advance, the holy lord
of the ritual order.
- CHAPTER 57
THE SROSH YASHT.
1. A blessing is Righteousness (called) the Best, &c.
Propitiation be to Sraosha, Obedience the blessed, the mighty,

(first), who worshipped both the protector and the Creator, who
are (both) creating all things in the creation.
3. For his splendor and his glory, for his might, and the blow
which smites with victory, I will worship him with the Yasna of
the Yazads, with a Yasna loud intoned, him Obedience the blessed,
with the consecrated waters, and the good Blessedness, the lofty,
and Nairya-sangha, the stately; and may he draw near to us to
aid us, he who smites with victory, Obedience the blessed!
4. We worship Sraosha, Obedience the blessed, and that lofty
Lord who is Ahura Mazda Himself, Him who has attained the most
to this our ritual, Him who has approached the nearest to us in
our celebrations. And we worship all the words of Zarathushtra,
and all the deeds well done (for him), both those that have been
done (in times gone by), and those which are yet to be done (for
him in times to come).
II.
5. We worship Sraosha (Obedience) the blessed and the stately,
him who smites with the blow of victory, who prospers the settlements,
the holy ritual lord, (6) who first spread forth the Baresman,
and the three bundles, and the five bundles, and the seven bundles,
and the nine, till it was heaped for us knee-high, and to the
middle of the thighs, for the Bountiful Immortals, for their worship,
and their homage, and their propitiation, and their praise.
For his splendor and his glory, for his might, and the blow which
smites with victory, I will worship him with the Yasna of the
Yazads, with a Yasna loud intoned, him Obedience the blessed,
with the consecrated waters.

8. Who first chanted the Gathas, the five Gathas of Zarathushtra,
the Spitama, the holy (with the fashion) of their metres, and
after the well-constructed order of their words, together with

and the answers which they give, for the Bountiful Immortals,

praise.
For his splendor and his glory, for his might....

For his splendor and his glory, for his might....

11. We worship Sraosha, Obedience the blessed and the stately,
him who smites with the blow of victory, who furthers the settlements,
the holy ritual chief, as the energetic, and the swift, the strong,
the daring (and redoubted) hero, (12) who comes back from all
his battles (and comes from them) a conqueror, who amid the Bountiful
ImmortaIs sits as companion at their meeting.
For his splendor and his glory, for his might....
VI.
13. We worship Sraosha (Obedience) the blessed, who is the strongest
and most persistent of the youths, the most energetic, and the
swiftest, who of all the youths strikes most with terror I from
afar (?). [Be ye desirous, O ye Mazdayasnians! of the Yasna of
Obedience the blessed.]
14. Far from this house, this village, and this tribe, and from
this country, the evil and destructive terrors (shall) depart.
In the dwelling of that man in whose abode Obedience the blessed,
who smites victoriously, is satisfied and welcomed, there is that
holy man who thus contents him (most) forward in the thinking
better thoughts, in the speaking truthful ritual) words, and in
the doing holy deeds.
For his splendor and his glory, for his might....
VII.
15. We worship Sraosha (Obedience) the blessed and the stately,
who is the conqueror of the Kayadha, and the Kaidhya, who was
the smiter of the Lie-demon of the Daevas, the one veritably powerful,
the destroyer of the world, who is the guardian and watchman over
all the migrations (?) of the tribes.
16. Who sleeplessly and vigilant guards the creatures of Ahura,
who sleeplessly and with vigilance saves them, who with halberd
raised on high guards all the corporeal world after setting of
the sun, (17) who has never slept in quiet since the two Spirits
made the worlds, [the bounteous and the evil one] who guards the
homes of Asha, who battles all (?) the days long and the nights
with all the Daevas [(Pazand) the Mazanian], (18) nor terror-stricken
does he turn in affright before (their power); but before him
all the Daevas turn in affright against their will, and rush to
darkness in their fear.
For his splendor and his glory, for his might....
VIII.
19. We worship Sraosha (Obedience) the blessed, whom Haoma worshipped
on the highest height of high Haraiti, he Haoma, the reviver,
and the healer, the beautiful, the kingly, of the golden eye,
(20) of the gracious words, of the warning and the guarding words,
who intones our hymns on every side, who possesses understanding
and of every brilliant form, which abounds in many an explanation
and revelation of the word, who has the first place in the Mathra.
For his splendor and his glory, for his might....
IX.
21. We worship Sraosha (Obedience) the blessed, whose house stands
with its thousand pillars, as victorious, on the highest height
of high Haraiti, self-lighted from within, star-studded from without,
(22) to whom the Ahuna-vairya has come, the ax of victory, and
the Haptanghaiti, and the Fshusho-mathra which smites with victory,
and all the Yasna sections.
For his splendor and his glory, for his might....
X.
23. We worship Sraosha (Obedience) the blessed, by whose might
and victorious power, and wise conduct, and (full) knowledge,
the Bountiful Immortals descend upon this earth of seven quarters.
24. Who as teacher of the law will stride forth upon this earth
with its dwellers in the body, and ruling as he will.
And in this Religion, Ahura Mazda has been confessed with faith,
and the Good Mind likewise with Him, and Righteousness the Best,
and Khshathra-vairya, and Piety the Bounteous, and the Universal
Weal and Immortality; and the question to the Lord is asked, and
Mazda's lore (is written).
25. O Sraosha (Obedience), thou blessed one, and stately! protect
us for the lives; yea, for both, (for that) of this world which
is corporeal, and for the world of mind, against unhappy death,
and the remorseless Wrath of rapine, against the hosts with ill-intent,
who lift their bloody spears against us; yea, against their assaults
whom the Wrath-demon will set on, and Vidhatu, demon-made. 26.
Therefore may'st thou, O Sraosha, the blessed and the stately!
grant swiftness to our teams, soundness to our bodies, and abundant
observation of our foes, and their smiting (as we mark them),
and their sudden death.
For his splendor and his glory, for his might....
XI.
27. We worship Sraosha (Obedience) the blessed, whom four racers
draw in harness, white and shining, beautiful, and powerful, quick
to learn, and fleet, obeying before speech, heeding orders from
the mind, with their hoofs of horn gold-covered, (28) fleeter
than (our) horses, swifter than the winds, more rapid than the
rain(-drops as they fall); yea, fleeter than the clouds, or well-winged
birds, or the we shot arrow as it flies, (29) which overtake these
swift ones all, as they fly after them pursuing, but which are
never overtaken when they flee, which plunge away from both the
weapons (hurled on this side and on that) and draw Sraosha with
them, the good Sraosha and the blessed; which from both the weapons
(those on this side and on that) bear the good Obedience the blessed,
plunging forward in their zeal, when he takes his course from
India on the East, and when he lights down in the West.
For his splendor and his glory, for his might....
XII.
30. We worship Obedience the blessed and the stately, who though
lofty and so high, yea, even to the girdle, yet stoops to Mazda's
creatures, (31) who thrice within the day, and three times of
a night, will drive on to that Karshvar Hvaniratha, called the
luminous, as he holds in both the hands and poizes his knife-like
battle-ax, which flies as of itself, and to cleave the Daevas'
skulls, (32) to hew down Angra Mainyu, the wicked, and to hew
down Rapine of the bloody spear, to hew down the Daevas of Mazendran,
and every Demon-god.
For his splendor and his glory, for his might....
XIII.
33. We worship Sraosha (Obedience) the blessed and the stately,
him who smites with victory, both here and not here, and on this
entire earth. And we worship all the (gifts) of Sraosha (Obedience)
the blessed, the mighty, and the strong, whose body is the Mathra.
Yea, we worship (all the martial gifts) of Sraosha (Obedience)
the mighty, both armed with shielding armor, and a warrior strong
of hand, skull-cleaver of the Daevas, conquering the endowments
of the conqueror, the holy conqueror of the conqueror, and (his)
victorious powers, and he Ascendancy which it bestows, and we
worship this Ascendancy of Sraosha's (the same which conquers
theirs); and that of Arshti do we praise as well. 34. And every
house by Sraosha guarded do we worship, wherein the blessed friendly
Sraosha is befriended and made welcome, where the holy man is
far advanced (?) in holy thoughts, and righteous words and deeds.
For his splendor and his glory, for his might, which smites with
victory, I will worship him with the Yasna of the Yazads, with
a Yasna loud-intoned, him Obedience the blessed, with the consecrated
waters, and the good Blessedness, the lofty, and Nairya-sangha,
the stately, and may he come to us to aid us, he who smites with
victory, Obedience the blessed!
- CHAPTER 58
THE FSHUSHO MATHRA.
1. (Introduction.) (To the increase of our homage and praise
of God) we offer this service which, as our defense, may shield
us, which is worship with its beneficent results; and Blessedness
is with it of a verity, and Piety as well. [ (Pazand) and of this
worship the results here mentioned are the well-thought thought,
the word well spoken, and the deed well done]; and let this our
worship shelter us from the Daeva and from the evil-minded man.
2. And to this worship do we confide our settlements and persons
for protection and care, for guarding, and for oversight; (3)
and in this worship will we abide, O Ahura Mazda! and with joy.
In this worship do we exercise our choices; and to it will we
approach, and to it will we belong; yea, to revering worship will
we confide our settlements and persons for protection, and for
care, for guarding, and for oversight, to such worship as is the
praise of such as You.
MATHRA.
4. The owner of herds is the righteous (one), and he is victorious
when he strikes, and thus he is the best; [(Pazand) we therefore
offer (this) service (for herd-owners)] for the herd-owner is
the father of the Kine by the help of him who follows the ritual
order: and he is the father of the holy man as well, and of the
sanctified creation. He is in verity the bestower of blessings,
and to him, O Ye Bountiful Immortals! we render, (and his do we
make) Your greatness, Your goodness, and Your (spiritual) beauty,
and let this man, the cattle-owner, approach to guard over us;
and may he be our watchman together with the Righteous Order,
and with store for our nourishment and full generous liberality,
together with sharing of the goods, with gentleness, and with
Ahura Mazda's sacred Fire!
5. O Ye Bountiful Immortals! as Ye have made us, so do Ye save
us, holy men, and saintly women (as we are, and steadfast in the
faith)l. Save us, O Ye Bountiful Immortals! Ye who rule aright,
and who dispose (of all) aright, for none other do I know, save
You; then with Your Righteousness do Ye save us.
6. And we offer hereby our thoughts, and words, and actions,
our herds, and men, to the Bountiful Spirit. And may the creative
stars of Ahura Mazda, the Creator, shine down on us, and round
about us with full herds and healthy settlements, with healthy
herds and healthy men, and with all in vigor, and endowed with
the blessing of the Lord. 7. Praise to Thee, O Fire of Ahura Mazda
I may'st thou come to (us in) the greatest one of the engrossing
interests for the help of the great (effort), for the joy-producing
grace of the great (interest of our cause); grant us both Weal
and Deathlessness!
8. We sacrifice to the entire collection of the Praises of the
Yasna, with the careful structure of their language which has
reached the most its object. And we offer (our homage) in our
celebrations to Thy body, O Ahura Mazda! the most beautiful of
forms, these stars, and to that one, the highest of the high [(Pazand)
such as the sun was called]. Yea, we worship the Praises of the
Yasna which were the production of the world of old.
- CHAPTER 59
MUTUAL BLESSINGS.
1-17. (See Y17.1-17.)
18-27. (See Y26.1-10.)
28. We worship Verethraghna, the Ahura-made, the victorious blow;
and we worship the Saoshyant, who smites with victory; and we
sacrifice to this Baresman with its Zaothra and its girdle (which
is its band) and which is spread with sanctity. And we sacrifice
to (our) own soul(s), and to (our) own Fravashi(s).
29. (See Y17.19.)
30. (The Ratu speaks): O thou good (servant of the Lord)! may
that be thine which is better than the good; may'st thou acquire
that which is (thine) own in the Zaothra; may'st thou attain to
that reward which the Zaotar has been obtaining, who is far advanced
in his good thoughts, and words, and deeds.
31. (The Zaotar speaks): May that happen to you (likewise) which
is better than the good, and may that not happen which is worse
than the evil, and may that likewise not be my lot. 32. As (our)
Ahu (is) excellent, so (is our) Ratu (one who rules) from his
Righteousness, a creator of mental goodness, and of life's actions
done for Mazda, and the Kingdom (is) to Ahura which to the poor
will offer a nurturer. A blessing is Asha called the Best, &c.
We sacrifice to the Ahuna-vairya; we sacrifice to Asha Vahishta
the most beautiful, the Bountiful Immortal. And we sacrifice to
the Fshusho-mathra, the by-spoken. And we sacrifice to the entire
collection of the Praises of the Yasna; (yea), to the Yasna Praises
which were instituted in the world of yore.
- CHAPTER 60
PRAYERS FOR THE DWELLING OF THE SACRIFICER.
1. Thus that better than the good may he approach, who shows
to us straight paths of profit appertaining to this bodily life
and to the mental likewise, in the eternal (?) realms where dwells
Ahura; yea, may he approach it, who is Thy worthy servant, and
good citizen, O Great giver Lord!
2. May these blessings approach this house, which are the wise
perceptions of the saints, the sacred blessings bestowed through
the ritual, their guileless characteristics, together with their
recognition of what is due; and may the Righteous Order appear
for this village, and the Divine Sovereign Power, together with
the benefit and glorious welfare (which ensues),
3. And with these the long enduring prominence of this Religion
of Ahura's, the Zarathushtrian Faith. And may the Kine be now
with greatest speed within (the farm-yard of) this house, most
speedily may the rewarded sanctity and the strength of the holy
man be here, most speedily as well Ahura's lore. 4. And may the
good and heroic and bountiful Fravashis of the saints come here,
and may they go hand in hand with us with the healing virtues
of (their) blessed gifts as wide-spread as the earth, as far-spread
as the rivers, as high-reaching as the sun, for the furtherance
of the better men, for the hindrance of the hostile, and for the
abundant growth of riches and of glory.
5. May Sraosha (Obedience) conquer disobedience within this house,
and may peace triumph over discord here, and generous giving over
avarice, reverence over contempt, speech with truthful words over
lying utterance. May the Righteous Order gain the victory over
the Demon of the Lie.
6. As in this (house) the Bountiful Immortals seek for good Yasnas
and good praises from the blessed Sraosha (who governs here),
and as they seek for (one) good sacrifice and act of homage (more
especially their own) which is a good offering (to them) for (our)
salvation, and a good offering in praise, together with a long
continued offering of the entire self, (7) let not then (their)
brilliant glory ever desert this house, nor the bright abundance,
nor an illustrious offspring legitimately born, nor that long
continued companionship which is the furtherance of that good
blessedness which teaches concerning glory.
8-10. (= Y8.5-7).
11. In order that our minds may be delighted, and our souls the
best, let our bodies be glorified as well, and let them; O Mazda!
go likewise openly (unto Heaven) as the best world of the saints
as devoted to Ahura, (12) and accompanied by Asha Vahishta (who
is Righteousness the Best), and the most beautiful! And may we
see Thee, and may we, approaching, come around about Thee, and
attain to entire companionship with Thee! And we sacrifice to
the Righteous Order, the best, the most beautiful, the bounteous
Immortal!
- CHAPTER 61
1. Let us peal forth the Ahuna-vairya in our liturgy between
the heaven and earth, and let us send forth the Asha Vahishta
in our prayer the same, and the Yenhe hatam.  Aye, let us send that petition forth for the
encounter with, and for the dislodgment of the Kahvaredhas and
of the individual Kahvaredha the male, and the female (to the
last individual of each), (3) and for the encounter with, and
the dislodgment of the Kayadhas, and of the individual Kayadhians,
male and female, and of the thieves and robbers, of the Zandas,
and the sorcerers, of the covenant breakers, and of those who
tamper with the covenants. 4.  Yea, let us
peal them forth for the encounter with and the overthrow of the
wicked, O Zarathushtra Spitama! whoever they may be, whose thoughts,
and words, and works are not congenial to the holy ritual laws.
5. And how shall we drive the Demon of the Lie from hence from
us? Aye, how shall we, the prophets who are yet to serve and save
(thy people), drive the Druj from hence, so that we, having power
over her as being utterly without power, may drive her hence with
blow from the seven Karshvars, for the encounter with, and for
the dislodgment of the entire evil world?
- CHAPTER 62
TO THE FIRE.
1. I offer my sacrifice and homage to thee, the Fire, as a good
offering, and an offering with our hail of salvation, even as
an offering of praise with benedictions, to thee, the Fire, O
Ahura Mazda's son! Meet for sacrifice art thou, and worthy of
(our) homage. And as meet for sacrifice, and thus worthy of our
homage, may'st thou be in the houses of men (who worship Mazda).
Salvation be to this man who worships thee in verity and truth,
with wood in hand, and Baresman ready, with flesh in hand, and
holding too the mortar. 2. And may'st thou be (ever) fed with
wood as the prescription orders. Yea, may'st thou have thy perfume
justly, and thy sacred butter without fail, and thine andirons
regularly placed. Be of full-age as to thy nourishment, of the
canon's age as to the measure of thy food, O Fire, Ahura-Mazda's
son! 3. Be now aflame within this house; be ever without fail
in flame; be all ashine within this house; be on thy growth within
this house; for long time be thou thus to the furtherance of the
heroic (renovation), to the completion of (all) progress, yea,
even till the good heroic (millennial) time when that renovation
shall have become complete. 4. Give me, O Fire, Ahura Mazda's
son! a speedy glory, speedy nourishment, and speedy booty, and
abundant glory, abundant nourishment, abundant booty, an expanded
mind, and nimbleness of tongue for soul and understanding, even
an understanding continually growing in its largeness, and that
never wanders, and long enduring virile power, (5) an offspring
sure of foot, that never sleeps on watch [not for a third part
of the day, or night], and that rises quick from bed, and likewise
a wakeful offspring, helpful to nurture, or reclaim, legitimate,
keeping order in men's meetings, (yea,) drawing men to assemblies
through their influence and word, grown to power, skillful, redeeming
others from oppression, served by many followers, which may advance
my line (in prosperity and fame), and (my) Vis, and my Zantu,
and (my) province, (yea, an offspring) which may deliver orders
to the Province as (firm and righteous rulers). 6. And may'st
thou grant me, O Fire, Ahura Mazda's Son! that whereby instructors
may be (given) me, now and for evermore, (giving light to me of
Heaven) the best life of the saints, brilliant, all glorious.
And may I have experience of the good reward, and the good renown,
and of the long forecasting preparation of the soul. 7. The Fire
of Ahura Mazda addresses this admonition to all for whom he cooks
the night and morning (meal). From all these, O Spitama! he wishes
to secure good care, and healthful care (as guarding for salvation),
the care of a true praiser. 8. At both the hands of all who come
by me, I, the Fire, keenly look: What brings the mate to his mate
(thus I say to him), the one who walks at large, to him who sits
at home? [We worship the bounteous Fire, the swift-driving charioteer.]
9. And if this man who passes brings him wood brought (with good
measure that is) with sacred care, or if he brings the Baresman
spread with sanctity, or the Hadhanaepata plant, then afterwards
Ahura Mazda's Fire will bless him, contented, not offended, and
in (its) satisfaction (saying thus). 10. May a herd of kine be
with thee, and a multitude of men, may an active mind go with
thee, and an active soul as well. As a blest soul may'st thou
live through thy life, the nights which thou shall live. This
is the blessing of the Fire for him who brings it wood (well)
dried, sought out for flaming, purified with the earnest blessing
of the sacred ritual truth. 11. We strive after the flowing on
of the good waters, and their ebb as well, and the sounding of
their waves, desiring their propitiation; I desire to approach
them with my praise.
12. (= Y3.24-25).

(See Y46.3; Y50.6-11.)
- CHAPTER 65
TO ARDVI SURA ANAHITA, AND THE WATERS.
1. I will praise the water Ardvi Sura Anahita, the wide-flowing
(as it is) and healing in its influence, efficacious against the
Daevas, devoted to Ahura's lore, and to be worshipped with sacrifice
within the corporeal world, furthering all living things (?) and
holy, helping on the increase and improvement of our herds and
settlements, holy, and increasing our wealth, holy, and helping
on the progress of the Province, holy (as she is)? 2. (Ardvi Sura
Anahita) who purifies the seed of all male beings, who sanctifies
the wombs of all women to the birth, who makes all women fortunate
in labor, who brings all women a regular and timely flow of milk,
(3) (Ardvi Sura Anahita) with a volume sounding from afar, which
is alone equal in its bulk to all the waters which flow forth
upon earth, which flows down with mighty volume from high Hukairya
to the sea Vouru-kasha. 4. And all the gulfs in Vouru-kasha are
stirred (when it falls down), all the middle doth well up when
Ardvi Sura Anahita rushes in, when she plunges foaming into them,
she, whose are a thousand tributaries, and a thousand outlets,
and each as it flows in, or rushes out, is a forty days' ride
in length to a rider mounted well.
5. And the (chief) outlet to this one water (Ardvi Sura Anahita)
goes apart, dividing to all the seven Karshvars. And this outlet
to my river, Ardvi Sura Anahita, bears off its water always in
summer and in winter. This my river purifies the seed of men,
and wombs of women, and women's milk.
6. Let the saints' Fravashis now draw near, those of the saints
who live, or have lived, of those born, or yet to be born; yea,
let them come near which have borne these waters up stream from
the nearest ones (that lie below as the outlet pours away) 7.
Let not our waters be for the man of ill intent, of evil speech,
or deeds, or conscience; let them not be for the offender of a
friend, not for an insulter of a Magian, nor for one who harms
the workmen, nor for one who hates his kindred. And let not our
good waters (which are not only good, but) best, and Mazda-made,
help on the man who strives to mar our settlements which are not
to be corrupted, nor him who would mar our bodies, (our) uncorrupted
(selves), (8) nor the thief, or bludgeon-bearing ruffian who would
slaughter the disciples, nor a sorcerer, nor a burrier of dead
bodies, nor the jealous, nor the niggard, nor the godless heretic
who slays disciples, nor the evil tyrant among men. Against these
may our waters come as torments. As destructive may these come
(?), may they come to him who has done those first (foul evils),
as to him who does the last.
9. O waters! rest still within your places while the invoking
priest shall offer.
Shall not the invoker make offering to these good waters, and
with the inculcated words? (And how shall this be done?) Shall
he not be tongue-fettered, if he offers else than with the ritual?
Shall (not) the words be so delivered as the Aethrapaiti teaches?
Where shall the blessings be (inserted)? Where the supplications
with confessions? Where the gifts of those that offer? 10. (It
shall be only thus) as Ahura Mazda showed before to Zarathushtra,
and as Zarathushtra taught the corporeal worlds (the men on earth)!
Thou shalt pray the first petition to the waters, O Zarathushtra,
and after that thou shalt offer the Zaothras to the waters, sanctified,
and sought out with pious care; and thou shalt pronounce these
words (as follows, thus): (11) O ye waters, I beseech of you this
favor; and grant ye me this great one in whose bestowal ye flow
down to me for the bettering (of my state), with a never-failing
truth. O ye waters, I beseech of you for wealth of many kinds
(which gives) power (to its holder), and for an offspring self-dependent
whom multitudes will bless, and for whose wasting, or defeat,
or death, or vengeful punishment, or overtaking, no one prays.
12. And this do I beseech of you, O waters, this, O ye lands,
and this, ye plants! This wealth and offspring I beseech of You,
O Ye Bountiful Immortals, who rule aright, who dispose (of all)
aright, O Ye good beings, male and female, givers of good things;
and this I beseech of you, O ye beneficent, mighty, and overwhelming
Fravashis of the saints, and this (of thee), O Mithra of the wide
pastures, and this of thee, O blest and stately Sraosha; and of
thee, O Rashnu the most just, and of thee, O Fire, Ahura Mazda's
son; and of thee, O lofty lord, the royal Apam-napat, of the fleet
horses; aye, of You all, ye Yazads, bestowers of the better gifts
and holy. 13. And this do ye therefore grant me, O ye holy waters,
and ye lands!
14. And grant me likewise what is still greater than this all,
and still better than this all, and more beautiful, and more exceeding
precious (and that is, Immortality and Welfare), O Ye Yazads,
holy and ruling mightily, and powerful at once, and grant it speedily
according to this Gathic (?) word: (Yea), by veritable grace let
that be done (?) for us which is most promotive of our weal. 15.
And according to this further word again: Grant me, Thou who art
maker of the Kine, the plants, and the waters, Immortality and
likewise Weal, O Ahura Mazda, Thou most bounteous Spirit. And
grant me these two eternal gifts through Thy Good Mind in the
doctrine.
16-18. (See Y15.2; Y56.3-4.)
- CHAPTER 66
TO THE AHURIAN ONE.
1. I am now offering this Zaothra here with sanctity, together
with the Haoma and the flesh, and the Hadhanaepata lifted up with
sacred regularity as to thee, O Ahurian One, for the propitiation
of Ahura Mazda, of the Bountiful Immortals, of Sraosha (Obedience)
the blessed, and of the Fire of Ahura Mazda, the ritual's lofty
lord.

by 'I offer with sanctity;' see also Y7.24.)
5-7. (See Y38.3-5.)
- CHAPTER 68
TO THE AHURIAN ONE, AND THE WATERS.
1. We offer this to thee, O Ahurian (daughter) of Ahura! as a
help (?) for life. If we have offended thee, let this Zaothra
then attain to thee (for satisfaction), for it is thine with its
Haoma, and its milk, and its Hadhanaepata. 2. And may'st thou
approach to me for milk and for libation, a Zaothra! as health,
for healing, and for progress, for growth and in preparation for
ceremonial merit, for good renown, for equanimity and for that
victory which makes the settlements advance.
3. Yea, we worship thee with sacrifice, O thou Ahurian (daughter)
of Ahura with the Zaothras of the good thought; and we worship,
O Ahura, one with the Zaothras of the good word and deed (4) for
the enlightenment of the thoughts, and words, and actions, for
preparation for the soul, for the settlement's advance, and to
prepare the saints endowed with ritual merit.
5. And grant me, O thou Ahurian One! Heaven, and to have an offspring
manly and legitimate, who may promote my house, my village, my
tribe and province, and the authority thereof.
6. We sacrifice to thee, O thou Ahurian one! And we sacrifice
to the sea Vouru-kasha, and to all waters upon earth, whether
standing, or running, or waters of the well, or spring-waters
which perennially flow, or the drippings of the rains, or the
irrigations of canals. 7. With this hymn from the (spirit of)
the Yasna do we worship thee, and with the homage which it offers
as it is the most legitimate Yasna, and homage of them (all) because
of Righteousness the Best. We sacrifice to the good waters, and
to the best, which Mazda created. 8. And we sacrifice to the two,
to the milk and to the libation, which make the waters flow, and
the plants sprout forth, opposing therein the Dragon Daeva-made,
for the arrest of that cheat the Pairika, and to contradict the
insulting malice of the Ashemaogha (the disturber and destroyer
of our Faith), and of the unholy tyrant full of death, and of
the human Daeva (worshipper) of hateful malice (and intent).
9. And may'st thou hear our sacrificial chants O thou Ahurian
(daughter) of Ahura! Yea, be propitiated by our Yasna, O Ahurian
one! and so may'st thou be present at our Yasna; may'st thou come
to us to help, as we chant our full-offered Yasht with the full
offering of Zaothras.
10. If any man shall sacrifice to you, O ye good waters, the Ahurian
ones of Ahura! with the best and most fitting Zaothras offered
piously, (11) to that man ye give both splendor and glory, with
health and vigor of the body and prominence of form; yea, to him
ye give possessions which entail abundant glory, and a legitimate
scion, and a long enduring life, and (Heaven at the last), the
best life of the saints, shining, all glorious. 12. And to me
also do ye now give it, to me who am offering this Yasna as a
priest.
(Response.) And to us Mazdayasnians who are likewise offering
sacrifice, do ye grant (both the desire and knowledge of the path
that is correct), to us colleagues, and disciples, Aethrapaitis
and Aethryas, men and women as well as children, and maidens of
the field, (13) who think good only, for the overwhelming of oppression
and of malice in the raids of the invader, and in face of foes
who hate. Grant to us both the desire of, and the knowledge of
that straightest path, the straightest because of Righteousness,
and of (Heaven) the best life of the Saints, shining, all glorious.
As the Ahu is excellent, so is the Ratu (one who rules) from the
Righteous Order, a creator of mental goodness and of life's actions
done for Mazda. And the kingdom (is) for Ahura, which to the poor
may offer nurture.
14. (The Zaotar speaks): I beseech with my benediction for a safe
abode, for a joyful and a long abode for the dwellers in this
village from whence these Zaothras (which I offer come). And I
pray in my benediction for a safe abode, and a quiet and a joyful
one, and a long abiding to every Mazdayasnian village, and for
a succor even with my wants, for a succor with salutations of
salvation, and for one with praises, O Fire! and for thee, O Ahurian
one of Ahura! do I ask the fullest Yasht.
15. And I pray for (?) Raman Hvastra for this Province, and for
healthfulness and healing. And I pray for it with my blessing
for you pious men, for all. And I pray for him who is saintly
with (true) goodness, whosoever he may be, between heaven and
the earth, for a thousand healing remedies, and for ten thousand
of the same.
16-19. (See Y8.5-8.)
20. Thus may it happen as I pray. 21. And by this may I gain (that)
blessing, the good Blessedness (our sanctity rewarded). And we
address, and we invoke religious zeal and capability, and the
waters with our Yasna thus: O ye good waters! since (they are)
yours, do ye, as you are asked, grant splendor and grant glory,
ye who are well able so to give; and do ye, O ye waters! grant
(once more) that helpful blessing which was gained from you of
old!
22. Praise (be) to Ahura Mazda, and to the Bountiful Immortals.
Praise (be) to Mithra of the wide pastures. Praise to the fleet-horsed
sun. Praise to (the star which so we name, and with this sun)
Ahura Mazda's eyes. Praise to the Kine (the herds of blessed gift).
Praise to Gaya (Maretan) [Gayomard] and to the Fravashi of Zarathushtra (first
of) saints; yea, praise to the entire creation of the holy (and
the clean), to those now living, and to those just passing into
life, and to those of days to come 23. And do Thou then Ahura,
as in answer to these our prayers and songs of praise, cause us
to prosper to salvation through Thy Good Mind, the Sovereign Power,
and Thy Righteous Order (in Thy ritual and law)!

- CHAPTER 70
TO THE BOUNTIFUL IMMORTALS, AND THE INSTITUTIONS OF RELIGION.
1. I would worship these (the Bountiful Immortals) with my sacrifice,
those who rule aright, and who dispose (of all) aright, and this
one (especially) I would approach with my praise, (Ahura Mazda).
He is thus hymned (in our praise-songs). Yea, we worship in our
sacrifice that deity and lord, who is Ahura Mazda, the Creator,
the gracious helper, the maker of all good things; and we worship
in our sacrifice Zarathushtra Spitama, that chieftain (of the
rite).
2. And we would declare those institutions established for us,
exact (and undeviating as they are). And I would declare forth
those of Ahura Mazda, those of the Good Mind, and of Asha Vahishta
(who is Righteousness the Best), and those of Khshatra-vairya
(the Realm to be desired), and those of the Bountiful Aramaiti
(the Piety within us), and those of Weal and Immortality, and
those which appertain to the body of the Kine, and to the Kine's
soul, and those which appertain to Ahura Mazda's Fire, (3) and
those of Sraosha (Obedience) the blessed, and of Rashnu the most
just, and those of Mithra of the wide pastures, and of (the good
and) holy Wind, and of the good Mazdayasnian Religion, and of
the good and pious Prayer for blessings, and those of the good
and pious Prayer which frees one from belying, and the good and
pious Prayer for blessing against unbelieving words. 4. (And these
we would declare) in order that we may attain unto that speech
which is uttered with (true) religious zeal, or that we may be
as prophets of the provinces, that we may succor him who lifts
his voice (for Mazda), that we may be as prophets who smite with
victory, the befriended of Ahura Mazda, and persons the most useful
to Him, holy men (indeed) who think good thoughts, and speak good
words, and do good deeds. 5. That he may approach us with the
Good Mind, and that (our souls) may advance in good, let it thus
come; yea, 'how may my soul advance in good? let it thus advance.'
6. We praise the flood and ebb of the good waters, and their
roar, and that high Ahura, the royal Apam-napat, the glittering
one, of the fleet horses; and this for the sacrifice, and homage,
and propitiation, and praise of the entire holy creation; and
may Sraosha (Obedience) be here (to aid us).
7. (Yea), we sacrifice to Sraosha, Obedience the blessed.
- CHAPTER 71
THE YASNA CONCLUDING.
1. Frashaoshtra, the holy, asked the saintly Zarathushtra: Answer
me, O thou most eminent Zarathushtra, what is (in very truth)
the memorized recital of the rites?
What is the completed delivery of the Gathas?
2. Upon this Zarathushtra said: (It is as follows.) We worship
Ahura Mazda with our sacrifice (as) the holy lord of the ritual
order; and we sacrifice to Zarathushtra likewise as to a holy
lord of the ritual order; and we sacrifice also to the Fravashi
of Zarathushtra, the saint. And we sacrifice to the Bountiful
Immortals, (the guardians) of the saints. 3. And we sacrifice
to (all) the good heroic and bounteous Fravashis of the saints,
of the bodily (world on earth), and of the mental (those in Heaven).
And we worship that one of ritual lords who attains the most his
ends; and we sacrifice to that one of the Yazads, lords of the
ritual order, who is the most strenuous, who gains the most, who
reaches most to what he seeks, even that well-timed Prayer which
is the prayer of that holy ritual lord, and which has approached
the nearest (to us for our help).
4. We sacrifice to Ahura Mazda, the holy lord of the ritual order,
and we worship His entire body, and we worship the Bountiful Immortals
all; and we worship all the ritual lords. And we sacrifice to
the entire Mazdayasnian Faith. And we worship all the sacred metres.
5. And we worship the entire bounteous Mathra, even the entire
system of the Faith set up against the Daevas; and we worship
its complete and long descent. And we sacrifice to all the holy
Yazads, heavenly and earthly; and we worship all the good, heroic,
and bountiful Fravashis of the saints.
6. And we worship all the holy creatures which Mazda created,
and which possess the holy institutions, which were established
holy in their nature, which possess the holy lore, and the holy
sacrifice, which are holy, and for the holy, and to be worshipped
by the holy. And we worship all the five Gathas, the holy ones,
and the entire Yasna [its flow and its ebb, and the sounding (of
its chants)].
7.  [(Pazand.) One
would think of it as when the fire cuts, sucks out, and consumes
the dry wood which has been sanctified and carefully selected
(for its flame).] And we sacrifice to the strength, the victory,
the glory, and the speed of all these words (as they go forth
for their work).
9.
10. And to all Thy good and holy female (creatures)
in the creation do we sacrifice, (O Thou who art) Ahura Mazda
the skillful maker! on account of which Thou hast made many things
and good things (in Thy world). And we sacrifice to those male
creatures in the creation which are Thine and which are meet for
sacrifice because of Asha Vahishta (of Righteousness the Best).
 And
we sacrifice to all the truthful and correctly spoken words,
(11) even those which have both rewards and Piety within them. Yea,
we worship (you) for protection and shielding, for guarding and
watching; and may ye be to me for preparation.
I call upon the Gathas here, the bountiful holy ones, ruling in
the ritual order; yea, we sacrifice to you, (O ye Gathas!) for
protection and shielding, for guarding and watching. Mine may
ye be as a preparation. For me, for (mine) own soul I call on
(you), and we would worship (you) for protection and for shielding,
for guarding and for watching.
12. And we sacrifice to Weal, the
complete welfare, holy and ruling in its course in the ritual
order; and we sacrifice to Deathlessness (the immortal being of
the good), holy, and ruling in the ritual order. And we sacrifice
to the question of the Lord; and to His lore, the holy chiefs,
and to the heroic Haptanghaiti, the holy lord of the ritual order.
13. (Frasha.) Let the holy Zarathushtra himself seek out a friend
and a protector. And I say to thee (O Zarathushtra!) to make to
thee a friend holy beyond the holy, and truer than the true, for
that is the better thing; for he is evil who is the best to the
evil, and he is holy to whom the holy is a friend, (14) for these
are the best of words, those which Ahura Mazda spoke to Zarathushtra.
And do thou, O Zarathushtra! pronounce these words at the last
ending of (thy) life.
15. For if, O Zarathushtra! thou shalt pronounce
these words at the last ending of (thy) life I, Ahura Mazda, will
keep your soul away from Hell. Yea, so far away shall I hold it
as is the breadth and extension of the earth [(Pazand) and the
earth is as wide as it is long].
16. As thou dost desire, O holy (one)! so shalt thou be, holy
shalt thou-cause (thy) soul to pass over the Chinvat Bridge; holy
shalt thou come into Heaven. Thou shalt intone the Gatha Ushtavaiti,
reciting the salvation hail.
17. We sacrifice to the active man, and to the man of good intent,
for the hindrance of darkness, of wasting of the strength and
life, and of distraction. And we sacrifice to health and healing,
to progress and to growth, for the hindrance of impurity, and
of the diseases of the skin.
18. And we sacrifice to the (Yasna's) ending words, to those which
end the Gathas. And we sacrifice to the bounteous Hymns themselves
which rule in the ritual course, the holy ones.
And we sacrifice to the Praise-songs of the Yasna which were the
products of the world of yore; yea, we sacrifice to all the Staota-Yesnya
hymns. And we sacrifice to (our) own soul and to (our) Fravashi.
19-21. (See Y6.14-16.)
22. I praise, invoke, and I weave my song to the good, heroic,
bountiful Fravashis of the saints, to those of the house, and
of the village, the district and the province, and to those of
the Zarathushtrotemas. 23. And we sacrifice to the Fire, Ahura
Mazda's son, the holy ritual chief.
And we sacrifice to this Baresman haying the Zaothra with it,
and its girdle with it, and spread with sanctity, the holy ritual
chief. And we sacrifice to Apam-napat, and to Nairya-sangha, and
to that Yazad, the wise man's swift Curse.
And we sacrifice to the souls of the dead, [which are the Fravashis
of the saints] 24. And we sacrifice to that lofty Lord who is
Ahura Mazda Himself.
25. And we pray (again) for the Kine (once more) with these gifts
and (ceremonial) actions which are the best.

Problem I
23 Out of 5
Input: standard input
Output: standard output
Time Limit: 1 second
Memory Limit: 32
MB
Your task is to write a program that can decide
whether you can find an arithmetic expression consisting of five
given numbers
yield the value 23.
For this problem we will only consider arithmetic expressions of
the following from:
10344 - 23 out of 5 解题报告" TITLE="UVA 10344 - 23 out of 5 解题报告" />
where 10344 - 23 out of 5 解题报告" TITLE="UVA 10344 - 23 out of 5 解题报告" />: {1,2,3,4,5} -> {1,2,3,4,5} is a bijective function
and 10344 - 23 out of 5 解题报告" TITLE="UVA 10344 - 23 out of 5 解题报告" /> {+,-,*} (1<=i<=4)
Input
The Input consists of 5-Tupels of positive Integers, each
between 1 and 50.
Input is terminated by a line containing five zero’s. This line
should not be processed.
Output
For each 5-Tupel print “Possible” (without quotes) if their
exists an arithmetic expression_r(as described above) that yields
23. Otherwise print “Impossible”.

Definition
Value of seasonally accumulated Crop (Corn) Heat Units (CHU) equaled or exceeded 80% of the time (i.e. 8 years out of 10)
Method of calculation
CHU2normal is adjusted using a regression equation that is specific for each region of Canada. The equation is of the form:
CHU80% = b0 + b1*CHU2normal
The constant (b0) and coefficient (b1) values must be entered in the input “threshold file” as input into the program.
Appropriate values have been developed for most regions as shown in Appendix 1.
However, these could be further refined in future.
The adjustment to CHU2normal has been calibrated with CHU values determined on an annual basis using daily climate data.
For additional information, see Bootsma, 2008.


6. C++¶
6.1. Basic script¶
#include <iostream>
- header file, adds functionality
using namespace std
- standard library
count
is an object and the insertion operator (<<
) is used to print text
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
6.2. Compiling¶
generate the output file:
g++ file.cpp
running
./a.out
will execute the programg++ myfirstprogram.cpp -o myfirstprogram.o
will rename the output fileMost IDEs will automatically do this, rename, and run the code
VSCode:
cmd + shift + B
gcc
is used for C
6.3. Variables¶
int
double
char
string
bool
char
- single quote
string
- double quotes
Declaring
type variable = value
eg. int myNum = 1;
multiple declarations int six = 6, seven = 7, eight = 8;
const
denotes a constant variable
const int myNum = 6;
6.4. User input¶
cin
reads data from keyboard and the extractor >>
is used to assign it to a variable
getline(cin, userTextIn);
allows for multiple words to be input
6.5. Operations¶
The common ones are the same: +
-
*
/
%
Incrementation is ++x
and --x
Assignments
=
+=
-=
etc.
there are many types of assignments of operators
Logical
&&
- and
||
- or
!
- not
6.6. Strings¶
#include <string>
must be used for strings
concatenation: stringOne + stringTwo
append: stringOne.append(stringTwo)
length stringOne.length()
6.7. Math¶
lots of functions - https://www.w3schools.com/cpp/cpp_math.asp
6.8. If…else¶
syntax is similar to R
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int numberOne = 200;
int numberTwo = 22;
if (numberOne == numberTwo)
{
cout << "true, they are equals ";
}
else if (numberTwo < numberOne)
{
cout << "number two is less than number one";
}
else
{
cout << "false, they are not equal";
}
}
6.9. Switch¶
don’t use these…it’s only here for reference
switch (month)
{
case 1:
cout << "Jan";
break;
case 2:
cout << "Feb";
break;
case 3:
cout << "Mar";
break;
default:
cout << "It's a month alright...\n";
}
return 0;
6.10. Loops¶
6.10.1. while¶
int counter = 0;
while (counter <= 5)
{
cout << counter << "\n";
counter++;
}
6.10.2. do/while¶
int counter = 0;
do
{
cout << counter << "\n";
counter++;
} while (counter < 3);
6.10.3. for¶
for(statement1; statement2; statement3){}
statement1
- execute once before the code block
statement2
- defines the conditions
statement3
- executed after the code block has executed
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
cout << i << "\n";
}
6.11. Arrays¶
when initiating the array the number of elements must be specific
string animals[3] = {"lion", "slug", "fish"};
// can be longer, just not shorter
string animals[5] = {"lion", "slug", "fish"};
// below will result in a length 3
string animals[] = {"lion", "slug", "fish"};
//or empty
string animals[5];
animals[1] = "lion";
animals[2] = "slug";
to count the number of elements in an array the number of allocated bytes is divided by the number of bytes of that data type
eg.
string animals[3] = {"lion", "slug", "fish"};
sizeof(animals) / sizeof(animals[0])
6.12. References¶
the idea that a new variable is a reference of an existing one
uses &
it is also a soft copy, meaning that if the original is changed so is the link
the importance, becomes more apparent with pointers
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string food = "Pizza";
cout << food << "\n";
//reference
string &meal = food;
cout << meal << "\n";
//it is a soft copy
food = "eggs";
cout << meal << "\n";
}
It can be used to access the memory address
string food = "Pizza";
cout << &food << "\n"; // displays memory address
6.13. Pointers¶
pointers store the memory address as the value
this becomes helpful when the data is large
rather than passing the data around (memory intensive), you pass its location
only single variables can be stored at the memory location ,
*
is used
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string animal = "slug";
string *animalPtr = &animal;
//output value
cout << animal << "\n";
//output memory address
cout << &animal << "\n";
//output memory address with the pointer
cout << animalPtr << "\n";
//dereference pointer
cout << *animalPtr << "\n";
//modify the pointer (and thus the original value)
*animalPtr = "fire ant";
cout << animal << "\n";
cout << *animalPtr << "\n";
return 0;
}
dereference - returns the values stored at the memory address
modifying - changes the original value stored at that memory location
6.14. Memory usage¶
We can assign and clear memory with the use of new
and delete
The new operator should only be used if the data object should remain in memory until delete is called
This is a heap allocation method. i.e. not on the stack
The delete
operator deallocates memory and calls the destructor for a single object created with new
.
The delete []
operator deallocates memory and calls destructors for an array of objects created with new []
.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int *pointerVar;
//allocate memory
pointerVar = new int;
//assign
*pointerVar = 45;
//desired command
cout << *pointerVar << "\n";
//deallocate the memory
delete pointerVar;
return 0;
}
6.15. Stack vs Heap¶
2 different methods of allocating memory
pointers allocate via the heap
Stack
the pointer moves the number of bytes we desire, so all memory is stored close together
it’s literally just stacking on top of one another
this makes allocating very fast
once out of the scope memory is free
local
Can fill up
Heap
Allocation is not necessarily near each other
Memory is retained until it is manually cleared
many more steps when compiling, thus it takes longer to compute
global
Heap doesn’t have any limit on memory size.
Allocate memory on the stack, unless you can’t
eg. the variable is very large, or you need it globally after the stack has been cleared
#include <iostream>
class myClass
{
public:
float x, y, z;
};
int main()
{
// -------
// stack
// -------
int svalue = 5; //int
int sarray[5]; //array
myClass svector; //object
// -------
// heap
// -------
//int
int *hvalue = new int;
*hvalue = 5;
// array
int *harray = new int[5];
//object
myClass *hvector = new myClass();
// clear up
delete hvalue;
delete[] harray;
delete hvector;
return 0;
}
6.16. Functions¶
main()
is used to execute a block of code
it is proceeded by a return value definition
Return values definitions:
void
- function doesn’t return value
int
- returns an integer, hence return 0
string
- returns string
parts of the function
declaration - functions name, return type, and parameters
definition - body of the function
Defining a argument
define the type
void sayHelloUser(string userName)
{
cout << "hello " << userName;
}
and add a default
void sayHelloUser(string userName = "jacob")
{
cout << "hello " << userName;
}
6.17. Function Overloading¶
instead of writing two functions for different inputs, we can make a function take multiple types of input
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// to function method
int additionInt(int x, int y)
{
return x + y;
}
double additionDouble(double x, double y)
{
return x + y;
}
// we can instead have
int addition(int x, int y)
{
return x + y;
}
double addition(double x, double y)
{
return x + y;
}
int main()
{
cout << additionInt(10, 24) << "\n";
cout << additionDouble(10, 24) << "\n";
cout << addition(10, 24) << "\n";
cout << addition(10.1, 24.2) << "\n";
return 0;
}
6.18. OOP¶
access specifiers public
private
protected
are used to specify the accessibility of members (attributes and methods) outside the class
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class animal
{
public:
string species;
int weight;
};
int main()
{
// create the object and assign values
animal bear;
bear.species = "Grizzly";
bear.weight = 600;
//print test
cout << bear.species << "\n";
cout << bear.weight << "\n";
return 0;
}
6.18.1. Assigning methods¶
Methods can be assigned inside and outside the class
Inside method
class greetingInside
{
public:
void sayHello()
{
cout << "Hello\n";
}
};
Outside method
this can be done for variables also
class greetingOutside
{
public:
void sayGoodbye();
};
void greetingOutside::sayGoodbye()
{
cout << "Goodbye\n";
}
6.19. Constructors¶
a method that is called when the object is created
use the same name as the class followed by ()
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class speciesCreator
{
public:
speciesCreator()
{
cout << "you have created a new species\n";
}
};
int main()
{
speciesCreator bear;
return 0;
}
constructors can have parameters
which may be used to set default values
6.20. Access specifiers¶
There are 3 access speifiers in C++:
public
- accessible outside the classprivate
- not accessible outside the classprotected
- not accessed from outside, but can be accessed in inherited classes
By default, all members of a class are private
6.21. Encapsulation¶
Encapsulation uses the private
access specifier to ensure data is hidden from the user.
To read or modify the data, we therefore reuire a get and set method
It is good practice to use encapsulation, and thus the private
specifier
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Employee
{
private:
int salary;
public:
void setSalary(int s)
{
salary = s;
}
public:
int getSalary()
{
return salary;
}
};
int main()
{
Employee jacob;
jacob.setSalary(30000);
cout << jacob.getSalary() << "\n";
return 0;
}
6.22. Inheritance¶
Base class - the parent
Derived class - the child
:
is usd when defining a class
class fish : public animal
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//parent class
class animal
{
public:
string species;
string habitat;
int weight;
void sayHello()
{
cout << "hello I am a " << species << "\n";
}
};
//child class
class fish : public animal
{
public:
int maxDepth;
};
int main()
{
fish shark;
shark.species = "Great White";
shark.maxDepth = 100;
shark.sayHello();
cout << "Max depth (m) " << shark.maxDepth << "\n";
return 0;
}
6.23. Multiple Inheritance¶
class fish : public animal,
public underwater
{
};
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// parent
class animal
{
public:
string species;
string habitat;
void sayHello()
{
cout << "hello I am a " << species << "\n";
};
};
// another parent
class underwater
{
public:
int maxDepth;
};
// child with 2 parents
class fish : public animal,
public underwater
{
};
int main()
{
fish shark;
shark.species = "Basking";
shark.maxDepth = 30;
shark.sayHello();
cout << "Max depth " << shark.maxDepth << "\n";
return 0;
}
6.24. Protected¶
allows for access within the inheritance class
mark it private unless you have a good reason not to
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class employee
{
protected:
int salary;
};
class programmer : public employee
{
public:
int bonus;
void setSalary(int s)
{
salary = s;
}
int getSalary()
{
return salary;
}
};
int main()
{
programmer jacob;
jacob.setSalary(40000);
jacob.bonus = 10;
cout << "my salary is: " << jacob.getSalary() << "\n";
cout << "and the bonus is: " << jacob.bonus << "\n";
return 0;
}
6.25. Polymorphism¶
Inherited attributes and methods can be modified
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class animal
{
public:
void speakLan()
{
cout << "This animal goes XXX\n";
}
};
class pig : public animal
{
public:
void speakLan()
{
cout << "This animal goes oink\n";
}
};
class dog : public animal
{
public:
void speakLan()
{
cout << "This animal goes woof\n";
}
};
int main()
{
dog rex;
pig babe;
rex.speakLan();
babe.speakLan();
return 0;
}
6.26. C++ Files¶
<ofstream>
- create and write files
<ifstream>
- reads from files
<fstream>
- create, read, and writes
As before we use the insertion operator <<
in combination with ofsteam
and ifstream
6.27. Writing¶
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
ofstream animalFile("sandbox/animals.txt");
animalFile << "badgers live in sets\n";
animalFile << "monkeys live in trees\n";
animalFile << "otters live by rivers\n";
animalFile.close();
return 0;
}
6.28. Reading¶
uses while
and getline()
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string readTextIn;
ifstream readFile("sandbox/animals.txt");
while (getline(readFile, readTextIn))
{
cout << readTextIn << "\n";
}
readFile.close();
return 0;
}
6.29. Exceptions¶
try
- define the test code
throw
- custom error to be caught be catch
catch
- execute this when an error is thrown
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
try
{
int age = 15;
if (age >= 18)
{
cout << "access granted";
}
else
{
throw(age);
}
}
catch (int myNum)
{
cout << "access denied\n";
cout << "Your age is: " << myNum << "\n";
}
return 0;
}
6.30. Libraries¶
Contains 2 elements:
includes - header files that link to binaries
library - contains binaries
Linking libraries
Static - library is in executable
Dynamic - linked at run time (.dll
file)
for now use a static library
We must point the compiler to the header files and the linker to the library files
Best practice - have a dependencies directory and build libraries here, as it keep all the project components together. Rather than a package manager.
6.31. Read CSV to Vector¶
Read a 1 column csv to a vector, fills new line
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
vector<int> vectorCSV_1DInt(string filepath)
{
// setup elements
ifstream csvFile;
int csvElement;
vector<int> csvVector;
// open
csvFile.open(filepath);
// open file and fill vector
while (!csvFile.eof())
{
csvFile >> csvElement;
csvVector.push_back(csvElement);
}
return csvVector;
}
void readVector(vector<int> vectorIn)
{
// length
int length = vectorIn.size() - 1;
// print to terminal
for (int n = 0; n <= length; n++)
{
int elem;
elem = vectorIn.at(n);
cout << elem << "\n";

One person found dead and 100 homes destroyed in Australian bushfires
MELBOURNE: One person has been found dead and at least 100 homes have been destroyed as bushfires rage across eastern Australia, authorities said on Saturday (Nov 9).
The New South Wales Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) said early on Saturday that firefighters had discovered the remains of a person in a vehicle and two other people remained unaccounted for.
NSW RFS commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) that more dangerous fire conditions could be expected on Saturday.
"I'm expecting to see those alert levels change throughout the day, probably worsen, more likely than not, as the afternoon winds pick up and the fire behaviour spreads a little more," Fitzsimmons told the ABC.
This is one of Australia's worst bushfire seasons, with parts of the country facing the worst droughts in living memory.

On Friday, NSW fire authorities issued a record number of emergency warnings, with 17 fires declared to be at an emergency level as high winds and dry-conditions saw fires spread rapidly.
On Saturday morning, there were six emergency-level fires burning in NSW, with more than 70 fires across the state in total.
Further north in Queensland, thousands of residents from the Sunshine Coast region spent the night in evacuation centres, after fire authorities told them to leave.
The Queensland Fire & Emergency Services declared one fire to be at an emergency level on Saturday morning.


"Geddon" Less Than Expected by Homer Yen (c) 1998
The second movie featuring a big rock from space has hit movie theatres. But despite the fact that this asteroid is the size of Texas and it's imminent collision with Mother Earth would be so devastating that not even bacteria would live, the movie's impact is surprisingly shallow. Maybe it's because this movie comes only a scant 7 weeks after the release of "Deep Impact", which had a very similar premise. Or, maybe it's because the movie makers tried to make this a fun film, but didn't realize that rescuing humanity is not a lighthearted matter. Whatever the reason, the event that is "Armageddon" fails to live up to its hype.
There are only 18 days to impact when NASA learns of the oncoming asteroid (their initial clue is a monstrous meteor shower that pulverizes New York City with an awesome pyrotechnic display). Pressed for time and options, their desperate plan to save mankind is to drill a hole into the core of the asteroid where they will lower and then detonate a nuclear device. If all goes well, the asteroid will split apart and miss the planet entirely. To accomplish this task, they summon Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis), the world's foremost deep core driller. He's the kind of man who only trusts himself. He closely guards over his daughter (Liv Tyler) and rejects her wishes to be with fellow oil driller A.J. (Ben Affleck), who is skilled at drilling, but takes unnecessary risks without concern for others. Harry thinks that she deserves someone better than a roughneck. A.J. is just one of a motley crew of roughnecks (all with cool nicknames like Bear, Rockhound, and Chick) that will accompany Harry and make the dangerous journey into space. These guys are truly the wrong stuff and the government expresses deep concern over mission leader and NASA chief Dan Truman (Billy Bob Thornton) for endorsing this plan. But there's no more time, and there are no other options.
"Armageddon" is actually a pretty nifty piece of summer fare. It has lots of nice special effects, but isn't overrun by them. The meteor showers are a wondrous spectacle. Their flight to rendezvous with the asteroid is also visually impressive. And the story, for the most part, finds a nice balance between Stamper as leader of the team and leader of his family. Thornton's role is also a nice touch as the quiet hero that tries to rise above the bureaucracy. I also like Tyler's understated courage at a time when the two men that she loves the most may never return.
However, this film comes across feeling more like a casual buddy movie rather than a tense thriller. None of Stamper's crew seemed to internalize the importance of the mission. During the journey into space, I kept waiting for one of them to ask if they could drive the space shuttle for a couple of million miles. And for people who are on an asteroid hurtling towards Earth at 22,000 mph, they looked amazingly at ease. Another minus was that scenes on the asteroid moved so fast that I didn't have time to think. Camera shots changed so frequently that the 'moment' couldn't be absorbed. The asteroid sequence in "Deep Impact" was far more exciting and better thought out. "Armageddon" does have its moments filled with courage, spectacle and awe. But the audience just never really has the chance to get involved.

"Crazy money raised in ICO, mostly in ETH, started to be sold on open market for USD. Just to cover developer costs, marketing, office rent and so on. In coming months a lot of projects will start running out of money and even tho big promises were made there will be little to no adoption of coins that were supposed to "disrupt multibillion industry". Market will consolidate and thereafter raise again. "
