which is ever afoot, sleepless, (for one third of the days and nights), watchful while lying in

the region, belonging to the assembly, thoroughly developed, possessed
of good works, delivering from distress, of good intellect, that may
further my house, village, town, country, (and) the renown of the country.

Mazda, the Best World of the righteous, the shining, the all-happy,

Gives command to all
For whom he cooks
The night and the morning meals.
