vdd.03 18,19. There, on that place, shall the worshippers of Mazda erect an enclosure and therein shall they establish him with food, therein shall they establish him with clothes, with the coarsest food and with the most worn out clothes. That food he shall live on, those clothes he shall wear, and thus shall they let him live, until he has grown to the age of a Hana, or of a Zaurura, or of a Pairishta khshudra
vdd.03 20,21. And when he has grown to the age of a Hana, or of a Zaurura or of a Pairishta khshudra, then the worshippers of Mazda shall order a man strong, vigorous, and skilful to cut the head off his neck in his enclosure on the top of the Mountain: and they shall deliver his corpse unto the greediest of the corpse eating creatures made by the beneficent Spirit, unto the Vultures, with these words: The man here has repented of all his evil thoughts, words, and deeds. If he has committed any other evil deed, it is remitted by his repentance if he has committed no other evil deed, he is absolved by his repentance, for ever and ever.
