“ To praise, to worship, to glorify, to bless Jō-zaṭaq Mandā d-Haijē, the life that came from life, the Kuštā, which was from time immemorial at the beginning, which was great in its splendor from the worlds of light. To praise, to adore, to glorify, to bless Has, the container of splendor, splendor, light and glory. 1,000 times 1,000 are its shoots, 10,000 times 10,000 are its tendrils. Hail to him who has seen that tree. Bihrām, who saw it, received life, light, healing and endurance, and his name did not die. ”

“ How lovely the fragrance, how lovely the fragrance, yes, for the father of the Uthras (i.e., Abathur) , the old, high, hidden, kept, the man who sits there high above, hidden deep below. He sees and understands what the worlds and aeons are doing in the worlds of darkness. How lovely the fragrance, how lovely the fragrance, yes, for the Škīnā of life and the planting of the Uthras. How sweet the fragrance, how sweet the fragrance, yea, for the Škīnā of the 4 men, the sons of salvation. How lovely the fragrance, how lovely the fragrance, yes, for the Škīnā of Abathur. ”

“ Look upon us, who stand by your name, who are uplifted by your naming. We held to your great truth, we stood firm in your victories; do not humiliate us, and do not throw us into the power of the oppressors, the liars, the hypocrites and the reprobates. Let not the oppressors afflict us, nor the reprobates condemn our souls. The good shall see it and find good, the wicked shall collapse and the children of the world shall be put to shame. The perfect shall see that there is a life, and lift up their eyes to the great place of light and the luminous abode. ”
