Extract

The apocalypse proceeds to describe three episodes of rulers who are to appear respectively in .XVarāsān, NēmrōČ, and PatašXvārgar and to be followed by the coming of Pišyōθn, son of Vištāsp. The language touches that of the Bahman Yašt at many points. Religious views are closely interwoven. The “Xvarr of PatašXvārgar” is of interest, as are also the revelation of many mysteries by Mihr Yazd,and Mihr's conflict with Ēšm. The druž Vat-yavakān seems not to be known elsewhere.
