How lovely the fragrance, how lovely the fragrance, yes, for the life of the men of our fathers, the true, believing men who have passed away and left their bodies and who still dwell in their bodies.
They witnessed, now the gate of sins is closed before them and the gate of light is opened. May they be granted the connection with Life, for which there is no separation. Pray for us from there, and we will pray for you from here. All fruits come to an end and all fragrances pass away, but the fragrance of life is raised for all ages and all eternity for the friends of the name of Kuštā.

Then Mandā d-Haijē turned to the men of proven righteousness and said to them: "Pay attention to Sunday, the enlightener, whom I have sent to you, that he may enlighten you, strengthen you, upright you, and bring you prayer and praise. Forgive him his sins and transgressions and hold him in great honor".
Furthermore, Mandā d-Haijē declared, revealed, and said: "Anyone who does not remit his sins and transgressions to the Sunday and does not hold it in great honor, has no throne among the Uthras and does not behold the great face of glory.

On the day when they created the olive staff for Mandā d-Haijē, its splendor rose above the Jordan. When the Jordan saw the splendor of the staff of Mandā d-Haijē, he leaped and rejoiced in the splendor of Mandā d-Haijē and said to him:
"As your Jordan is rich, so shall the fruit, grapes, and trees on it be constant. Let your splendor be rich, and let your root be preserved in a perfect way."
