For the fields, mine only hope of welfare.’”
Ahūra speaks:
“Upon this the Creator of the kine asked of Righteousness,
‘How was thy guardian for the kine appointed by thee,
When having power over all her fate ye made her?
In what manner did ye secure for her, together with pasture
A cattle-chief who was both skilled and energetic?
Whom did ye select as her life’s master
Who might hurl back the fury of the wicked?’”
