"I praise all good thoughts, words, and works, through thought, word,
and deed. I curse all evil thoughts, words, and works away from
thought, word, and deed. I lay hold on all good thoughts, words, and
works, with thoughts, words, and works, i.e. I perform good actions, I
dismiss all evil thoughts, words, and works, from thoughts, words, and
works, i.e. I commit no sins.

"I give to you, ye who are Amshaspands, offering and praise, with the
heart, with the body, with my own vital powers, body and soul. The

"The sins against father, mother, sister, brother, wife, child, against
spouses, against the superiors, against my own relations, against those
living with me, against those who possess equal property, against the
neighbors, against the inhabitants of the same town, against servants,
every unrighteousness through which I have been amongst sinners,--of
