Book Overview

The Zend-Avesta, Part II: The Sirozahs, Yasts and Nyayis is a book written by James Darmesteter. It is a continuation of the first part of the Zend-Avesta, which is a collection of ancient texts from the Zoroastrian religion. This second part specifically focuses on the Sirozahs, Yasts, and Nyayis, which are three important sections of the Zend-Avesta.The Sirozahs are a series of prayers and rituals that are performed daily by Zoroastrians. They are intended to protect the individual and their family from evil spirits and negative energies. The Yasts are hymns that are dedicated to various deities and spirits, while the Nyayis are prayers that are recited during specific rituals.In this book, Darmesteter provides a translation of these texts from their original Avestan language into English. He also provides commentary and analysis of the texts, giving readers a deeper understanding of their meaning and significance within the Zoroastrian religion.Overall, The Zend-Avesta, Part II: The Sirozahs, Yasts and Nyayis is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and beliefs of the Zoroastrian religion.
