Note 502 — Chapter I · (continued 3)
David Shea translation
In page 564, Zend-Avesta, t. II. we find: “The Parsees who are desirous of leading happy lives, and of having children who do them honor, must employ four priests to repeat the Izeshné during three consecutive days and nights: this rite is called the Zindeh Ravan, or ‘verifier of the soul (at the moment of death).’”
Surúsh, or Surúsh Ized, performs a most important part in Parsee mythology (see note, p. 7).—D. S.
