About Gathas

The Gathas are the divine songs of Zarathushtra(zartosht:zoroaster)which have remained intact as part of the Yasna,
the oldest Zoroastrian scripture which has been passed down through history, and has come into
our hands today. The Gathas is the only part of the Zoroastrian scripture which is directly attributed
to Zarathushtra.
The Gathas is in five parts.
The first part is Ahunuvaiti Gatha in 7 chapters, which starts from Chapter 28 of the Yasna
and ends in Chapter 34.
The second part is Ushtavad Gatha in 4 chapters, which starts from Chapter 43 of the Yasna
and ends in Chapter 46.
The third part is Spentamad Gatha in 4 chapters, which starts from Chapter 47 of the Yasna
and ends in Chapter 50.
The fourth part is Vohukhashatr Gatha in 1 chapter, which is Chapter 51 of the Yasna.
The fifth part is Vahestuesh Gatha in 1 chapter, which is Chapter 53 of the Yasna.
This electronic version of the Gathas of Zarathushtra is taken from the translation of the Gathas by
Mobed Firouz Azargoshasb, which was printed by the Council of Iranian Mobeds of North America
in March 1988.
