aur In the Small and Large Sirozā yashts are incorporated the “Khshnumans” of Vanant, Satavaesa and Haptoiranga; on the basis of this Professor Darmesteter has regarded this yasht as an appendage of Tir yasht. Looking to its contents this yasht can be considered as a “nirang” (i.e. an incantation) of driving away the noxious creatures and harmful animals.

aus i.e. may the holy star Vanant, created by Ahura Mazda, (who is) the Lord of righteousness, come (unto my help)! For the explanation of the Star Vanant, see note to Khorshed yasht paragraph 8.
