16 and conclusion
Recite Yatha Ahu Vairyo twice and bless the worship, strength, and praise offered to Mithra of wide pastures, vigilant hearing, wide sight, and good dwelling.
Natural English
May I become trustworthy under the gaze of truth: faithful to promises, alert to injustice, merciful without becoming careless, and strong without becoming deceptive.
The Asha understanding
Mithra makes relationship sacred by making truthfulness accountable. Covenant is not sentiment; it is the disciplined keeping of promises under the light of Asha.
Text, method, and limits
Full English sequence of the traditional Meher/Mihr Niyayesh. Shared opening sections are linked to Khorshed Niyayesh rather than needlessly duplicated in pray mode.
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.
