Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

For a satisfactory translation of these texts, the etymo logical and comparative method is generally considered as the best or as the only possible one, on account of the entire absence of any traditional interpretation.

I have tried, however, to reduce the sphere of etymological guess work to its narrowest limits, with the help of different Pahlavi, Persian, and Sanskrit translations, which are as yet unpublished, and have been neglected by former trans lators.

I found such translations for the Sirozahs for Vasts I, VI, VII, XI, XXIII, XXIV, and for the Nyayis1 (besides the already published translations of Vasts XXI and XXII).
