To the bounteous Earth; to these places, to these fields; to Mount Ushi-darena, made by Mazda, the seat of holy happiness; to all the mountains made by Mazda, that are seats of holy happiness, of full happiness; to the kingly Glory made by Mazda; to that Glory that cannot be forcibly seized, made by Mazda. 29. Mahraspand. To the holy, righteousness-performing Mãthra Spenta; to the Law opposed to the Daêvas, the Law of Zarathustra; to the long-traditional teaching; to the good Law of the worshippers of Mazda; to the Devotion to the Mãthra Spenta; to the understanding that keeps the Law of the worshippers of Mazda; to the knowledge of the Mãthra Spenta; to the heavenly Wisdom made by Mazda; to the Wisdom acquired through the ear and made by Mazda. 30.
