"For Mithras, the divine righteous King"
|
Mithras - Rex et ImperatorMithras is our King and Emperor.Mithras is the righteous governing power of human society and human life. Mithras rules for all"Ahura Mazda spake unto Spitama Zarathushtra, saying: 'Verily, when I created Mithra, the lord of wide pastures, O Spitama! I created him as worthy of sacrifice, as worthy of prayer as myself, Ahura Mazda.'The ruffian who lies unto Mithra brings death unto the whole country, injuring as much the faithful world as a hundred evil-doers could do. Break not the contract, O Spitama! neither the one that thou hadst entered into with one of the unfaithful, nor the one that thou hadst entered into with one of the faithful who is one of thy own faith.For Mithra stands for both the faithful and the unfaithful." From the Traditional Zoroastrian prayer book, the Khorda Avesta, Mihr Yasht (Hymn to Mithra) verses 1 and 2. updated Apr 4026 ZHE
