Translated Text:

God, Grant him and his people,
strength and power
through righteousness and good mind,
so that he leads me to peace and tranquillity.
I also, Wise One, recognize him
as Your foremost discovery.
(Gathas: Song 2 - stanza 10)

Summary Substance: A little pondering makes the World realize the truth. She
prays to God grant Zarathushtra and his companions strength through precision
and mind to usher in peace and stability. Zarathushtra is truly the foremost
discovery who understands the Divine Will. She chooses Zarathushtra as her Lord
and Leader.

Pondering Points: Pondering over a point makes one realize the truth and act
upon it.

(from "The Gathas, Our Guide," translated and annotated by Ali A. Jafarey,
Cypress, California, USA, 1989)
