auk For its translation and explanation, see first note to Hom Yasht Large introductory paragraph.

aul The words from here up to drujem-vanō occurring in the same para are taken here from yasna Hā 9, para 17, and the words nī tat yatha taurvayeni are taken from para 18 of the same Hā.

aum The prefix nī which has occurred in this para repeatedly is to be understood as nī mruye; nī mruye, “I request”.

aun nī tat yatha taurvayeni - this sentence is taken here incomplete from the Large Hom Yasht; the sense cannot be made out fully without taking the undermentioned words (which are found in the Large Hom yasht) after it. There is no object of the verb taurvayeni (I may overcome), without taking it the sentence remains incomplete -vispanām tbaeshavatām tbaeshāo, daevanām mashyānāmcha, yāthwām pairikanāmcha, sāthrām kaoyām karafnāmcha mairyanāmcha, bizangranām ashemaogha nāmcha bizangranām, vehrkanāmcha chathware-zangranām, haēnayāoscha perethu-ainikayāo davāithyāo patāithyāo. The translation of the this entire sentence:- “I ask for (all) that (i.e. strength, health, greatness, wisdom, courage, etc., mentioned in this paragraph) so that I may overcome the malice of all enemies, demons, mortals, wizards and witches, of tyrants, the kiks, the karaps, men having the nature of serpents, heretical persons,
