the passage which contained a statement that is often partially quoted in Pahlavi colophons, and the I
Dk. VIII, Chap. XLV, 13, must refer to the
passage which contained the statement thus men-
tioned in Sis. XIII, 10: — 'The fifteen stanzas of
Y&-^^yaothan4^ are for this reason, because it is
given for the destruction of those fifteen fiends who
are declared in the medical part of the Hi//6kht.'
No allusion to the following seven passages,
quoted from this Nask, has been noticed in Dk. VIII,
Chap. XLV: —
In Sis. XII, 30, it is stated that * in the Hi^Sftkht
* Only the first and last letters of this word are clearly legible. « The first syUable is illegible. » Yas. XXXIV.

it says that a woman who shall be reverent is to be considered as much as she who is suitable/
In Sd. XXII, 3, 4, it is stated that 'in the
commentary of the Hi^/dkht it says, that every one
who performs intercession, and extracts anything
from a person on their account, and conveys it to
them is as much without dishonesty towards them,
as he who may have given to them out of his own
property. And in the spiritual existence they take
account of that profit for him, and just as they make
out the account of the good work of that person who
may have given zV, even so much is his good work.'
In Vi^. p. 12, it is said, with reference to Aharman,
Uhat he is a creature of Adharmaar^ is manifest
from the A vesta of the Ha//6kht : " DAta, Ahura
spe^ta! Mazd^ju."'

XXI. St6d-yast Nask^
It has been already shown, in Dk. VIII, Chap.
XLVI, I n, that the whole of this Nask is probably
still extant in the Yasna and Vlspfirarf. About half
of the present Yasna appears to consist of five-sixths
of this St6^-ya?t, to which have been added three
* The actual extent of those portions of the Yasna and Vispfinu/ which appear to have constituted this Nask, may be estimated at about 12,500 Avesta and 22,400 Pahlavi words.
488 EXTANT FRAGMENTS.
There appears to be no sufficient evidence, either
internal or external, for ascribing this collection of
the liturgy to so late a date as the end of the ninth
century, when the compilation of the Dtnlcard was
completed. It is therefore safer, for the present, to
assume that the St6t/-yart existed for a long period
as a separate Nask (the form described by the
Dlnkar^, even after the greater part of its text had
been incorporated with others to form the collected
liturgy now known as the Yasna.
Besides the fragments which are specially at-
tributed to particular Nasks, there are also a few
writings which closely resemble the Nasks, or their
fragments, in general character, but which can hardly
be traced to their actual source by means of the
accounts given in the Dtnkard. Thus, the Aogema-
da^ii might perhaps be supposed to have been
extracted from the Bari^ (see Dk. VIII, Chap. IX,
1 8), if it did not contain a few A vesta quotations
from the Yasna, Vendldi^/, and Yarts. While the
quotations from the Ashem-staota, given in V^.
pp. 89, 90, 125-129, 177, 178, are difficult to trace,
owing to the name of their source.
The references are to the pages of the introduction and extant fragments, and to the books, chapters, and sections of the translations ; the chapters being denoted by the larger ciphers. The letters ch. stand for chapter, com. for commentator, Dk. for Dinkar^, Dv. for Din-v^irgard, Fr. for Fragments, Int. for Introduction, lun. man. for lunar mansion, m. for mountain, meas. for measure, n for foot-note, Riv. for Rivlyat, and Zs. for Selections of ZL/- sparam.
