for both worlds.  May Sraosha come with Vohu-mano and help whomsoever thou pleasest, O Mazda!  Keep us from our hater, O Mazda and Spenta Armaiti!  Perish, O fiendish Drug!  Perish, O brood of the fiend!  Perish, O world of the fiend!  Perish away, O Drug!  Rush away, O Drug!  Perish away, O Drug!  Perish away to the regions of the north, never more to give unto death the living world of Righteousness.’

“Afterwards the man defiled shall sit down, inside the furrows, outside the furrows of the six holes, four fingers from those furrows.  There he shall cleanse his body with thick handfuls of dust.  Fifteen times shall they take up dust from the ground for him to rub his body, and they shall wait there until he is dry even to the last hair on his head.  When his body is dry with dust, then he shall step over the holes containing water.  At the first hole he shall wash his body once with water; at the second hole he shall wash his body twice with water; at the third hole he shall wash his body thrice with water.  Then he shall perfume his body with Urvasna, or Vohu-gaona, or Vohu-kereti, or Hadha-naepata, or any other sweet-smelling plant; then he shall put on his clothes, and shall go back to his house.  He shall sit down there in the place of infirmity, inside the house, apart from the other worshippers of Mazda.  He shall not go near the fire, nor near the water, nor near the earth, nor near the cow, nor near the trees, nor near the faithful, either man or woman.  Thus shall he continue until three nights have passed.  When three nights have passed, he shall wash his body, he shall wash his clothes with gomez and water to make them clean.  Then he shall sit down again in the place of infirmity, inside the house, apart from the other worshippers of Mazda.  He shall not go near the fire, nor near the water, nor near the earth, nor near the cow, nor near the trees, nor near the faithful, either man or woman.  Thus shall he continue until six nights have passed.  When six nights have passed, he shall wash his body, he shall wash his clothes with gomez and water to make them clean.  Then he shall sit down again in the place of infirmity, inside the house, apart from the other worshippers of Mazda.  He shall not go near the fire, nor near the water, nor near the earth, nor near the cow, nor near the trees, nor near the faithful, either man or woman.  Thus shall he continue, until nine nights have passed.  When nine nights have passed, he shall wash his body, he shall wash his clothes with gomez and water to make them clean.  He may thenceforth go near the fire, near the water, near the earth, near the cow, near the trees, and near the faithful, either man or woman.
