dy In the Pahlavi Nām Setāyeshne there occurs the word “dām” for the word “world”.
dz The entire para from “Setāeshne Dādār Ahuramazda” up to “be-rasād” is not found in the Pahlavi Nām Setāyeshne, it appears to have been added subsequently.
ea It would be better if the text mentions “six”, because prior to it there comes Dādār Ahura Mazda.
eb This entire Homage is taken from Yasna Hā I, para 16. Here, instead of the words, “Nivaēdhyemi hankārayemi”, the word “Nemo” occurs.
