The desire of rmn is this, that he desires to give health and to cure creatures. Sg is beneficial, and her being beneficial is this, that Mh brings all the good from spiritual creatures to material creatures, in order to distribute benefit, Ardwsr delivers it to Spš, and Spš distributes it to the world. And his (= Ardwahišt’s) goodness is this, that when the souls of the evil in hell suffer just punishments, it is because he keeps the demons and the druzs away from them, so that the demons do not inflict unjust punishments on them; and his being of desirous gaze is this, that he has a kind look upon everyone. And his likeness is fire; as fire is of great benefit in the material world, so is Ardwahišt of great benefit in the spiritual and material worlds];
