deliberated on the main portion of the Neyyesh i.e. what forms portion ofYasna &.1!1'.

Transation & tash Puthra Ahurahe Ma3d1o

5efore B proceed with the main teFt of the Neyyesh% let me address thephrase tash Puthra Ahurahe Ma3d1o. As you are aware there is acontro0ersy about its widespread translation as (ire% son of Ahura4a)da,. According to >anga the ordinary meaning of the word (2uthra,#;anskrit H2utraE$ is (son, but he deri0es the meaning of this word from

the ;anskrit root HpuE meaning to purify% to render pure% (source ofpurifying% cleaning, and translates it as (purifier, throughout theNeyyesh.

>anga translates the phrase as (C ire% the purifier #of all things$pertaining to Ahura 4a)da,.

;ethna translates as (C purifying ire of Ahura 4a)da,.
