1. On the spiritual chieftainship of the regions of the earth it says in revelation, that every one of those six chieftainships has one spiritual chief; as the chief of Arezahi is Ashashagahad-e Hvandchan, the chief of Sawahi is Hoazarodathhri-hana Pareshtyaro, the chief of Fradadhafshu is Spitoid-i Ausposinan, the chief of Vidadhafshu is Airizh-rasp Ausposinan, the chief of Wourubareshti is Huvasp, the chief of Wourujareshti is Cakhravak.

2. Zartosht is spiritual chief of the region of Xwaniratha, and also of all the regions; he is chief of the world of the righteous, and it is said that the whole religion was received by them from Zartosht.

3. In the region of Xwaniratha are many places, from which, in this evil time of violent struggling with the adversary, a passage is constructed by the power of the spiritual world, and one calls them the beaten tracks of Xwaniratha.

4. Counterparts of those other regions are such places as Kangdez, the land of Saukavastan, the plain of the Arabs, the plain of Peshyansai, the river Naivtak, Eranvej, the enclosure formed by Yim Jamshed, and Cashmere in India.

5. And one immortal chief acts in the government of each of them; as it says, that Peshotan son of Vishtasp, whom they call Chitro-maino, is in the country of Kangdez; Aghrerad son of Pashang is in the land of Saukavastan, and they call him Gopatshah; Parshadga Hvembya is in the plain of Peshyansai, and he is Hvembya for this reason, because they brought him up in a hvemb for fear of Khashm; Asam-i Yamahusht is in the place which they call the River Naivtak; the tree opposed to harm is in Eranvej; Urvatadnar son of Zartosht is in the enclosure formed by Yim Jamshed.

6. Regarding them it says, they are those who are immortal, as are Narsih son of Vivangha, Tus son of Nodar, Giw son of Gudarz, Ibairaz the causer of strife, and Ashavazd son of Pourudhakhsht; and they will all come forth, to the assistance of Soshyant, on the production of the renovation of the universe.

7. Regarding Sam it says, that he became immortal, but owing to his disregard of the Mazdayasnian religion, a Turk whom they call Nihaj wounded him with an arrow, when he was asleep there, in the plain of Peshyansai; and it had brought upon him the unnatural lethargy which overcame him in the midst of the heat.

8. And the glory of heaven stands over him for the purpose that, when Azi Dahak Zohak becomes unfettered, he may arise and slay him; and a myriad guardian spirits of the righteous are as a protection to him.

9. Of Dahak Zohak, whom they call Bevarasp, this, too, it says, that Faridoon when he captured Dahak Zohak was not able to kill him, and afterwards confined him in Mount Damawand; when he becomes unfettered, Sam arises, and smites and slays him.

10. As to Kangdez, it is in the direction of the east, at many leagues from the bed of the wide-formed ocean towards that side.

11. The plain of Peshyansai is in Kavulistan, as it says, that the most remarkable upland in Kavulistan is where Peshyansai is; there it is hotter, on the more lofty elevations there is no heat.

12. Eranvej is in the direction of Ataro-patakan Azerbaijan.

13. The land of Saukavastan is on the way from Turkistan to Chinistan, in the direction of the north.

14. The enclosure formed by Yim Jamshed is in the middle of Pars, in Sruva; thus, they say, that what Yim Jamshed formed is below Mount Yimakan.

15. Cashmere is in Hindustan.
