CHAPTER 7. [The Star Track]

1. And afterward, I put forth the first footstep to the star track, on Humat, the place where good thoughts (humat) are received with hospitality. (2) And I saw those souls of the pious whose radiance, which ever increased, was glittering as the stars; (3) and their throne and seat were under the radiance, and splendid and full of glory. 4. And I asked Srosh the pious, and Adar the angel, thus: 'Which place is this? and which people are these?' 5. Srosh the pious, and Adar the angel, said (6) thus: 'This place is the star track; and those are the souls (7) who, in the world, offered no prayers, and chanted no Gathas, and contracted no next-of-kin marriage; (8) they have also exercised no sovereignty, nor rulership nor chieftainship.

(9) Through other good works they have become pious.'
