The Asha understanding
Worthiness comes through Asha, not status, wealth, ancestry, or gender. This makes ethical character the standard of reverence.
Text, method, and limits
Complete Old Avestan prayer, traditionally identified with Yasna 27.15.
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.
