THE GÂTHAS.
the deeds of Thy Good Mind (in us). They who work in the toil of the mother 1 Kine, these further? Your merciful care through the understanding's action, and (taught) by Thine Order's (word)*.
15. Yea, (show me, O Mazda ! that path and its reward); tell me the best (of truths); reveal the best words and best actions, and the confessing 5 prayer of the praiser through Thy Good Mind (living within us); and through the Righteous Order, O Ahura! And by Your Sovereign Power and grace may'st Thou make life really progressive (till perfection shall have been reached)!

• Neryosangh: Sa yato, Mahagñanin ! kâmo'smakam yat tanumate gîvamate dîyate [âkâryâyal, uttamena karmane manasa [khshatriyâya), yaska gavâ* âkârayitre* Aginâmnyâ, (kutumbine], yo yushmakam sunirvanagñanataya, Svâmin I buddhyâka, punya pradattayâ vidhîyate [dînih].

Ner.: Yushmäkam râgyena, Svâmin ! akhshayatvam svekkhaya parisphutam dasyate bhuvane.
