Section 2
Identity
I am a Mazda-worshipper. I profess myself a follower of Zarathushtra, committed to the Ahuric teaching and opposed to destructive powers.
Section 3
Threefold pledge
I pledge myself to good thought, good word, and good action.
Section 4
The religion of Asha
I accept the good Mazdayasnian religion, Ahuric and Zoroastrian, which lays down weapons, resists destructive attack, and possesses Asha. I attribute every good to Ahura Mazda. This is my profession of faith.
Natural English
Come to my aid, O Mazda. I choose the path taught by Zarathushtra: good thought, good word, good deed, peace over destructive force, and every good attributed to the Wise Lord.
The Asha understanding
The creed makes religion an accountable practice. Identity becomes real only where thought, speech, and conduct are brought into agreement.

Avestan and Pazand are inflected languages. A responsible interlinear may need several English words for one source word—or no single English equivalent. The confidence marker distinguishes direct lexical analysis from contextual or provisional reader glosses.
