Zand-I Vohuman Yasht

By E. W. West

Book Overview

Zand-I Vohuman Yasht is a book written by E. W. West. It is a translation of a Zoroastrian religious text called the Vohuman Yasht, which is part of the Avesta, the sacred scripture of Zoroastrianism. The Vohuman Yasht is a hymn in praise of Vohu Manah, one of the six Amesha Spentas or holy immortals in Zoroastrianism. The book contains the original Avestan text of the Vohuman Yasht along with a translation and commentary by West. The commentary provides historical and cultural context for the text and explains its significance within Zoroastrianism. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Zoroastrianism and those interested in ancient religions and their texts.And that which was golden is the reign of King Vishtasp, when I and thou converse about religion, and Vishtasp shall accept that religion and shall demolish the figures of the demons, and the demons desist from demonstration into concealed proceedings; Ahriman and the demons rush back to darkness, and care for water, fire, plants, and the earth of Spandarmad becomes apparent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
