All good thoughts, words, and deeds culminated in the ritual, as in an enlightened high ecclesiasticism. They were nourished by it, and not lest in it. (Expressions are here varied.)
213:3 The prominence and supremacy of each deity, or genius, while he is especially the object of worship in the ritual order, the expressions being taken from the Ahuna-vairya.
214:1 Vohu Manah, Asha, and Khshathra.
214:2 Âramaiti, Haurvatât, and Ameretatât.

215:1 Dahyuma.
215:2 Aibigaya.
217:1 Unseized (?).
