Bakŏ Nask.
1. The beginning of the twenty-second fargard, the Airyaman 1, is the last question (frasnŏ) beyond the five Gâthas; it is taught for the dominion of Aûharmazd only by him—that is, it is making him ruler of himself—who shall do that which is declared by the passage:—Yâ erezegyôi dâhî
drigaovê vahyô 1: who gives delights (vâyagânŏ) to him who is a right-living poor man 2—preservation from the destroyer, and the consummation of every happiness.
2. It is perfect excellence that is righteousness.
