Yasnas
The First Yasna I announce and carry out this Yasna for the creator Ahura Mazda, the radiant and glorious, the greatest and the best, the most beautiful, the most firm, the wisest, and the one of all whose body is the most perfect, who attains His ends the most infallibly because his Asha permits so, to him who disposes our minds aright, who sends His joy-creating grace afar; who made us, and has fashioned us, and who has nourished and protected us, who is the most bounteous Spirit!

I announce and carry out this Yasna for Vohu Manah, and to the Highest Asha, and to Khshathra Vairya, and to Spenta Armaiti, and to the two, to the Haurvatat and to the Ameretat, to the body of the Kine, and to the Kine's Soul, and to the Fire of Ahura Mazda, that one who more than all the Amesha Spentas has made most effort for our relief!
