	AVESTA: YASNA (Sacred Liturgy and Gathas/Hymns of Zarathushtra)
		I announce (and) carry out (this Yasna) for that lofty lord who is the Asha (itself), and for the masters of the days in their duration, and of the days during daylight, for the moons, the years, and the seasons which are masters of Asha at the time of Hawan.
		And I desire for this Yasna the Yairya Hushitay; and I desire for this Yasna the well-formed, stately Ama; and I desire for this Yasna the Ahura-given Verethraghna; and I desire for this Yasna the triumphing Uparatat.
		YASNA 39 - TO THE SOUL OF THE KINE, &C. And now we sacrifice to the Kine's soul, and to her created body, and we sacrifice to the souls of cattle who are fit to live (for us), and whose (we?) are, such as are the same to them.

		Yasnas 29 and 30 are recited without special ritual, but during Yasnas 31 and 32 the zo@t again pounds the twigs three times, straining some of the liquid into one of the bowls after each pounding, and each time returning any crushed residue to the mortar.

	Iranica.com - GATHAS
		In Yasna 46.12 the whole group seems to be qualified as descendants of a forefather named Tura son of Friia.
		From Yasna 43 and Yasna 44, in both of which Zoroaster describes himelf as meditating in front of the holy fire, elements of his legendary biography have been derived by the Middle Persian tradition, interpreting each of the two songs as reflecting one step in Zoroaster's religious experience.
		In Yasna 49.1 he calls down divine help for immediate extermination of B™@náduua, a chieftain, who hosts a deceitful teacher; in Yasna 51.12-14 a person called vae@piia- is blamed by the prophet for not having hosted him in his home, and a hellish fate is predicted for his soul.

	Introduction to Zoroastrianism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The Old Avestan texts comprise the Gths and the Yasna Haptanghiti, both of which are contained in the section of the Avesta called the Yasna, as well as various fragments scattered throughout the Yasna.
		In the regular yasna ceremony, the Yasna Haptanghiti (Y.35-41) is placed between the first and second Gths.
		The Gths, it was decided, were his work and contained his teachings; the Yasna Haptanghiti was the work of his more or less immediate followers; and the Young Avesta represented, on one hand, pre-Zoroastrian, Òpagan,Ó beliefs and, on the other, a relapsed and corrupt form of ZarathustraÕs teachings.

	Avesta - Contests, Arrangement, Extent, and Character - 1
		The first group comprises the Vendidad, Vispered, and Yasna; these as used in the service of worship are traditionally classed together for liturgical purposes and from the Avesta proper.
		This is written in prose, and consists of a number of prayers and ascriptions of praise to Ahura Mazda, or Ormazd, to the archangels, the souls of the righteous, the fire, the waters, and the earth.
		It was the duty of the priests to recite the whole of these sacred writings every day, in order to preserve their own purity, and be able to perform the rites of purification, or give remission of sins to others.

		Yasna 20: Commentary on Ashem Vohu: by Mrs.
		Yasna 20, a part of Bagan Nask, is a commentary on Ahem Vohu.
		Explaining Vohu Mano, Yasna 20, or “Framraot Ha”, proves the bogey of “freedom of choice” illogical and unsound by expressly declaring that “good” is not necessarily what we think of as “good” or righteous.

	Haoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He binds Afrasiab (middle Persian, Avestan: "the fell Turanian Frangrasyan", Yasna 11.7) with the sacred girdle, and drags him from deep within the earth (named the hankana in Avestan, hang-e-Afrasiab in middle Persian) where Afrasaib has his "metal-encircled" kingdom that is immune to mortal attack.
		Yasna 9.3-11 has Zoroaster asking the divinity who (first) prepared haoma and for what reward, to which Haoma recalls Vivahngvant (Persian: Vivaŋhat) to whom Yima Xshaeta (Jamshid) is born; Athwya (Abtin) to whom Thraetaona (Feredon) is born; and Thrita to whom Urvaxshaya and Keresaspa (Karshasp and Garshasp) are born.
		The Haoma divinity is identified with priesthood (see Haoma as a divinity), while the barsom stalks "cut for the bundles bound by women" (Yasna 10.17) is the symbol and an instrument of the Zoroastrian priesthood.
