CHAPTER 8. [The Moon track]

1. When I put forth the second footstep, it was to Hukht of the moon track, the place where good words (hukht) find hospitality; (2) and I saw a great assembly of the pious. 3. And I asked Srosh the pious, and Adar the angel, thus: 'Which place is this? and whose are those souls?' 4. Srosh the pious, and Adar the angel, said (5) thus: 'This place is the moon track; and these are those souls who, in the world, offered no prayers, and chanted no Gathas, and contracted no next-of-kin marriages; (6) but through other good works they have come hither; (7) and their brightness is like unto the brightness of the moon.'
