(Note: This bāz should be recited on the first five days of the Fravartikān, i.e. from Roz 26 Māh 12 to Roz 30 Māh 12).

Pa nāme yazdān Hormazd Khodāe awazūni, gorje khoreh awazāyād; Ardāfravash berasād. ksAz hamā gunāh patet pashemānum; az harvastīn dushmata duzhukhta duzhvarshta; mem pa getī manīd, oem goft, oem kard, oem jast, oem būn būd ested.

(To recite in bāz) Hormazd Khodāe awazūnie mardum, mardum sardagān hamā sardagān, hambāyaste vehān, oem behedīn māzdayasnān āgāhī āstavānī nekī rasānad; aedun kubād. (Recite aloud)

kr Also from the Vendidad fargard 19, para 18, we get the “Homage unto Plants” of the same signification but written differently from the grammatical formation; it is:- Avesta - Nemō1

urvaire2 vanaguhi3 mazdadhāte4 ashaone5; Ashem Vohū 1. Translation. - Homage1 (be) (unto thee), O good3, holy5 plant2 created by Hormazd4!

ks i.e. may the Holy Fravashis come (to this prayer)! This portion is wholly taken from the Khshnuman of Ardāfravash Āfringān.
