Focusing on the Avestan and Pahlavi versions of the Sih-rozag, a
text worshipping Zoroastrian divine entities, this book explores
the spiritual principles and physical realities associated with
them. Introducing the book is an overview of the structural,
linguistic and historico-religious elements of the Avestan
Sih-rozag. This overview, as well as reconstructing its approximate
chronology, helps in understanding the original ritual function of
the text and its relationship to the other Avestan texts.The book
then studies the translation of the text in the Middle Persian
language, Pahlavi, which was produced several centuries after its
initial composition, when Avestan was no longer understood by the
majority of the Zoroastrian community. Addressing the lacuna in
literature examining an erstwhile neglected Zoroastrian text, The
Sih-Rozag in Zoroastrianism includes a detailed commentary and an
English translation of both the Avestan and Pahlavi version of the
Sih-rozag and will be of interest to researchers and scholars of
Iranian Studies, Religion, and History.
