or that of the serpent or frog, out of the water. 28. About the destruction of the serpent and frog, and other aquatic noxious creatures, in the water when it is only thus possible, and carrying them out from it when it is possible. 29. About the gratification of the spirit of the world, and the vexation of the demons, owing to the destruction of them.
30. Where and what are the tokens of the good 1 management and well-operating drinking-party (tôstih) of a neighbour not of the same district (ahamshatrô nazd). 31. About the sin of him who, after joining a drinking-party from sunset (hd-frâshmôkdâdo), pulverizes the road (rah tekhnunedo), keeps the door opened, and would unlawfully make an uproar.
32. About Adharmazd having produced the bodies and members of animals—through having created the body of the sole-created ox with satisfaction, as assistance for mankind—because they are repeated for protection, and also for the ceremonial for sacred beings specially declared. 33. About the reason of making offerings (aðstofrido) to the sacred beings, for the increase of power of the allotters of destiny in the allotment of destiny; the connection of that acknowledgement (padirisno) and of the benefit and advantage of the recompense thereof; the proper maintenance of that acknowledgement, through the means and efficacy of the spiritual bridge-judgment of sin, and the fear of worldly disaster and harm from not properly maintaining the perpetual acknowledgement in force pollution, as soon as possible after death, common sense being preferable to logical consistency.
* Supposing that vớp stands for khûp.
