KAVASJI HORMASJI KATRAK, O.B.E.


at hvo vangheush vahyo nā aibijamyāt
ye nāo erezush samngho patho sīshoit
ahyā angheush astvato mananghaschā
haithyeng āstīsh yeng ā shaetī ahuro
aredro thwāvāns huzentushe spento mazdā.

"May that man attain to better than the good
Who helps teaching us the upright paths of blessedness
Of this material world and that of the spirit
—The veritable universe wherein pervades Ahura—
That faithful, wise, and holy man is like unto thee, O Mazda."
