CHAPTER LXI.
Bakở Nask.
1. The fifteenth fargard, Kamnamaêza', is about the reply of Adharmazd to Zaratûst, as to that which was asked by him thus : 'To which lands do I step ??' and it is thus: “Do thou march (sagitûn) there where the man, in whose person righteousness is connected with complete mindfulness, is welcome ; this, too, is where happy is he from whom there is no complaint.'
2. This, too, that mankind are made diligent in good works by him who produces progress for good works; even for this reason, because mankind attain progress in manifest duty who engage more particularly in good works. 3. This, too, that the teaching of religion is the public action which is prescribed by him who would produce exertion for the righteous, that is, benefit for those of the good religion; even for this reason, because the multitude (kabedân) approach the religion, and are taught and practise it, on account of a desire for benefit. 4. This, too, that it is in a province of even exhausted productions that it is taught by him who appoints a virtuous governor over the province; even for this reason, because a virtuous governor of a province becomes a teacher of ability and good works to those of the province.
