CHAPTER III, 36-44.
will occur, so that I may observe he will kill thee with the evil eye in the house.' 40. And here is a great wonder which became manifest about Zaratūst, in the sagacity of his reply to that deadly one at that childish age, which was just like this which revelation mentions, that Zaratûst spoke thus : 'Without the joy of a murderer I observe, with propitiousness and complete mindfulness, that it is thee I notice in that house which is thine 1.'
41. One marvel is that which, after this reply of Zaratūst to Dûrâsrôbô, became manifest in that Karap, just as revelation mentions thus: “The deadly one became disabled and stupefied as long as the milking of ten mares in milk whose milker is only one.'
42. One marvel is this which is declared, that when that wizard emerged from that stupefaction, he then shouted again to Zaratûst in the same manner, Zaratūst uttered that same reply, and the deadly one became anew disabled and stupefied as long as the milking of twenty mares full of milk whose milker is only one.
43. One marvel is this which is declared, that again when that wizard emerged from that stupefaction, he then shouted to Zaratûst in the same manner, Zaratust uttered that same reply, and the deadly one becomes anew disabled and stupefied as long as the milking of thirty mares full of milk whose milker is only one.
44. One marvel is this which is declared, that when that wizard emerged from that stupefaction, he
ing to most accounts, was the murderer of Zaratûst in his old age. This tradition is mentioned in Dk. VII only here and in § 22.
