When the Lord had thus instructed Zardusht, he beheld a mountain of flaming fire, which at the command of God he traversed without any injury to his person; they next poured molten brass on his guileless, silver-like bosom, and not a single hair of his body was touched; they next opened his stomach, and taking out all the intestines again replaced them, on which the wound immediately closed without leaving a vestige of the incision behind. The just God then said to Zardusht: “Thou hast passed over the mountain of fire, and hadst thy stomach rent open; therefore tell mankind whoever turns away from the _Dínbahí_, ‘pure faith,’ and passes over to Ahriman, in the same manner shall the blood of his body be poured out; he shall dwell in the fire, and never attain to the joys of paradise. Again, the molten brass, which on contact with thy breast became congealed like ice, causing thee no injury, is a sign that the nation, at the suggestion of Ahriman, will turn away from the faith; and also that when the _Dínbahí_ shall be promulgated in the world, the high Mobed shall gird his loins to give them battle. “The heart of mankind was harassed with doubt, However thou knowest this brass was but a sign; It is therefore meet that Azarbád, the son of Márasfand, Should impart to each individual counsel of every kind; This molten brass he should pour on his breast, From which no injury shall result to him. “So that, on beholding this miracle, all mankind with heart and soul will follow the right true road.” After this, Zardusht asked of the God of justice: “In what manner shall thy worshippers celebrate thy praise and what is to be their Kiblah?” The Lord answered: “Tell all mankind that every bright and luminous object is the effulgence of my light; at the time of worshipping me, let them turn to that side, in order that Ahriman may flee from them; in the world there is no existence superior to light, out of which I have created paradise, the angelic nymphs, and all that is pleasant, whilst hell was produced out of darkness. “Wherever thou art, and in whichever of the two abodes, Dost thou not perceive that either place is formed out of my light?” Having thus taught Zardusht the _Avesta_ and the _Zand_, he said to him: “Recite this celebrated volume to king Gushtasp, that through it he may obtain wisdom; tell him also to attain a perfect knowledge of me; no one should ever call me the worker of injustice; command the Mobeds and all mankind to separate themselves from demons and magicians.” “Zardusht then enlarged on the praises of the Almighty Lord.”
