To The Waters And Light Of The Stars

Books: Sacred Books Of The East

As the sea Vouru-kasha is the gathering place of the waters, rising up

and going down, up the aerial way and down the earth, down the earth and

up the aerial way: Thus rise up and roll along! thou in whose rising and

growing Ahura Mazda made everything that grows. Up! rise up, ye deep

Stars, that have in you the seed of waters; rise up above Hara

Berezaiti, and produce light for the world, and mayest thou, O man! rise

up there, if thou art to abide in Garo-nmanem, along the path made by

Mazda, along the way made by the gods, the watery way they opened. Thus

rise up and roll along! ye in whose rising and growing Ahura Mazda made

everything that rises. In your rising, away will the Kahvuzi fly and

cry; away will the Ayehi fly and cry; away will the Gahi, who follows

the Yatu, fly and cry.
