“Ahura Mazda, shield of the faithful, I implore Your safeguarding hand in this perilous age. You are the bulwark against Angra Mainyu’s malice, the refuge where evil cannot breach. The world is fraught with dangers—seen and unseen—seeking to devour the light within me. Enfold me, O Lord, in Your divine embrace. Let my thoughts be fortified by Your truth, my words armored by Your justice, my deeds shielded by Your mercy. When the destructive spirit prowls, stand as my defender; when his arrows fly, be my shelter. I place my trust in You, the unconquered Lord of all that is good. O Wise One, whose power spans the heavens, keep me safe from corruption and despair. May Your presence be my fortress, unyielding against the tides of chaos, until the day when Your victory banishes all threats and Your children dwell in everlasting peace.”
