kn There does not seem to be the necessity of the words, “nemase-te” in this place; if by retaining these words on the one hand we attach to “urvānō” or “fravashayō”, then there should occur “nemō ve” instead of “Nemase-te”, because the words “nemase-te” are in singular and “nemo ve” are in plural. Nemō ve = Homage (be) unto you.

ko The words, “idha iristanām urvānō yazamaide yāo ashaonām fravashayō” are taken from yasna Hā 26, para 7.

kp This whole sentence is taken from Yasna Hā 6, para 13.

kq For its explanation, see note to Aiwisruthrem Gah verse 5.
