NIRANG OF VANANT YASHT

auz(This Nirang should be recited three times after the recitation of Vanant Yasht).

Kul balā dafe shavad, O dīv O daruj O parī O kaftār O seherān, O

aux According to later books King Faridun was an erudite teacher of all kinds of nirangs, through the help of which, i.e. through the recitation of those nirangs he could prevent any difficulty whatever coming upon him, and did not allow the evils of the demons and drujas to succeed over him. Moreover, in some books, he is even designated as a prophet.

auy I have not given again the translation of the portion from “baēshaza goāfrangān bad” up to “Faridun āthavyān” having given above.

auz This entire Nirang appears to have been composed at a very later period; its wording is rather complicated. Also Arabic words, are employed in it along with Pazend words:- e.g. Kul, bala, dafe, seheran, shaitan, etc.
