About the book:- The Zend Avesta Part III contains: The Yasna, Visparad, Afrinagan, Gahs and miscellaneous fragments. In this last part of the "The Zend Avesta" books, there is a detail explanations by the translator about the hymns which helps with the understanding of the book but at the same time sometimes it creates confusion. The hymns are written to the gods and the supreme god Ahura Mazda. Zarathustra has a big significance and duality takes tremendous importance in this book. Many praises to different gods and the nature are recited and advices are given to the believers. It is a very important book and different than the other two.
