14) Padiyav-Sajashneh:- The term Kusti Padiyav has been used loosely by us, but the exact etymology of the word “Paad” can mean the immediate area surrounding our earthy physical body also known as “Aipi”. As per ilme-Khshnoom the area surrounding our “Aipi” can be measured by extending our folded Arms at level of our shoulder and finger tips of both Arms touching each other. The circle drawn from centre of our body till tip of our elbow as radius of circle can be stated to be our “Aipi”. Refer to the hand drawn diagram as shown below:-

We have to maintain a “Karsh” or a protective circle around our Aipi with help of Sudreh Kusti which acts as an Alaat or weapon/ shield and that is known as “Padiyav”. The shield of Sudreh does not function alone all by itself, but it works in Tandem along with Kusti on our waist and hence the word Kusti Padiyav is coined with the above explanation. But an ordinary Athornan having developed Padiyav-Sajashneh quality can make his Aipi Druji proof with amal of his Sundreh Kusti and remove impurities from his Aipi ,thus make place for good Akherater Khoreh to flow smoothly. The ceremony for donning Sudreh Kusti is called as Navjote and if it is done properly Sudreh Kusti as Alaat can protect every Bastekustian from outer impurities by locking our Aipi and we become a co-worker of Paav Mahal. When an Ashwan Athornan develops this quality into power than he becomes receptacle for Gaav to flow in his system, and his Aipi becomes eligible for contact with Yazatic forces. Nay! He now becomes Semi Yazat himself.
15) Khube-Nirang:- An ordinary Athornan having developed this quality can make use of Manthra / Nirang Prayer or incantations for relief of sick and suffering. His Druj Parhej Tarikats makes him eligible to establish such a quality of Khube-Nirang within him. He now functions as a true Hakim taking into consideration karmic liability of the patient and remains well within his limits who give relief to the sick with his Manthra prayers, and by preparing Talismatic Taviz.
When an Ashwan Athornan having developed this quality into power can decimate Saen Druji elementals and with his Yasna give relief to Mankind from hazards and perils of Saen Druji. To know more about Saen Druji and how it is formed, one can refer to the article from archives on same topic. Follow the link of Saen Daruji and Saen Baaj as its remedy:- http://ilme-khshnoom.blogspot.in/2010/10/saen-daruji-and-saen-baaj-as-its-remedy.html
16)Nehvar-Jivam:- The word Nehvar means Nine Ameshaspands or Nine Gehnas and its Keherps formed in “Hasti” also known as immortal world, and word Jivam means milk of a goat that is made use of in kriya and mixed in pure well water. By undergoing through this process there is transmutation of Goat’s milk from Vohun to Gaav which in simple language means milk getting converted from grossness to Gaav signifying selfless quality in it. When an Ordinary Athornan develops this quality he makes sure of never doing any kriyas half-heartedly or in hurry and thus invite undesirable result of Yasna- Daruji. He tries to do to best of his capacity all Husmordi Kriyas whether Zindeh Ruvan or Anushe Ravan kriyas painstakingly in totality without overlooking any minute details and from start to finish. Whereas an Ashwan Athornan develops this quality into power and he can actually see in Urvisgah of Pav mahal any anomaly or deficiency arisen whilst performing Kriyas. He takes corrective measures and repairs Yasna Daruji or the disorder in Staot or vibrations formed from Kriyas done haphazardly knowingly or unknowingly by any Athornan. He does not allow ill effects of Yasna Daruji to further weaken Pav mahal. He delivers the keherps that have formed by kriyas to its rightful place which helps nature in its relentless service to mankind and universe.
Today we cannot say that present Athornans have all 16 qualities of Athornan but some of them may have managed to develop at least some of the qualities as per their own destiny and their efforts, but the Yasna Daruji that comes into play by careless attitude of some of Athornans can play havoc to our Pavmahal, if not repaired and discreetly taken care of by Sayar Abed saheb who come periodically practically every 6 months from Iran by maintaining their Bareshnoom and with help of special power of Nehvar-Jivam reduce negative effects of Yasna Druji and repair Pavmahal of Hindustan in which we Parsis thrive in its protection today and have survived for so many years. There is no doubt that today if Talesam of Pavmahal in India has been taken care of we have to salute the Sayar Abed Saheb who selflessly serve Pavmahal and does their job without any fanfare or expecting anything in return.
Asho Mobed Nairyosang Dhaval who came to India with chosen Anjuman was a chosen leader being guided by Demavand Koh Abed Sahebs. Even when Athornan groups in India started showing their spiritual lacking, then also proper care was taken by Asho Abed Sahebs at nick of time to protect Pavmahal in Hindustan, and are even offering their selfless services presently. When Islamic zealots began their quest to spread their tentacles in India a need was felt by Caretakers Sanjana Tola of Sacred Iranshah to shift from its original Kash to a safer place This was very unfortunate and undesirable as Iranshah is capable of looking after its own safety in emergency. But this fact was overlooked by Sanjana Tola and thus the history of long and arduous journey of Iranshah for many years from Sanjan to different places till he was finally settled in Udwada till date. But the moment Iranshah was disturbed from its Kash and taken to different places, the hidden Saiyar Abed Sahebs worked in their own mysterious ways to protect sacred flame of Iranshah from extinction. Ustad Saheb has narrated many amazing facts on this topic to his disciples. Finally at last when Iranshah was settled in Udwada since last 200 years and is so even today, the time had come for Iranshah’s sacred fire under its belly which was till now burning on its own without any offerings of Sandalwood to cool down. Just as humans have horoscope describing its destiny, similarly Iranshah’s Horoscope too describe different time frames of its Birth, Childhood, Teenage, Maturity, oldage and finally death. The time period of Iranshah was nearing its end which is technically known as “Samandar”. We are living in past Samandar Period now. Iranshah and its Talismanic powers are active even now although not as vivified as it was during its youth but its effects and protection more than sufficient enough to last till advent of ShahBehram Varjawand. When augury sign for Samandar was indicating, it was then that the hidden Abed sahebs gave timely guidance to Sanjana Tola responsible for tending sacred fire of Iranshah. They guided Sanjana Mobeds and showed them way of transforming the sacred Atash burning on its own, to physical Atash by having connection or “Paivand” with Sandalwood logs. Thus today we have with us Physical Atash of Iranshah which was transferred from divine atash of Iranshah burning on its own in past without any help of Sandalwood as fuel for fire.
We have but to take help of Khshnoom to know the hidden truths in our Deen, and thus apart from applying grammatical translations to Avesta, one requires to be familiar with “Tavil” which is really key to decipher Avesta as propounded by Khshnoom. By merely externally knowing names of 16 qualities of Athornan one cannot grasp its true hidden meaning but when we apply Khshnoom and its Tavil then we realize the hidden power that goes behind the making of these 16 qualities of an Athravan which never fails us to look at this subject with awe and respect that it rightly deserves.
Today our Athornan class can only take care of our community and its religious institutions of fire temples. If an Athornan today takes care to develop 16 qualities of Athravan and thus maintain Mithra, Manthra, Yasna of Zarathosti Deen then there should not be any complains about our community going downhill. Today knowingly and unknowingly we create all sort of Yasna Daruji and increase load upon shoulders of Pavmahal of Iranshah, even then Pavmahal of Iranshah can retain spiritual powers till advent of our future Rainidar Saheb Shah Behram Varjawand Saheb and 2/3rd of our community who will staunchly follow Zarthosti tenets will be taken care of and saved in troubled times.
An Athornan having developed last three qualities of Athravan namely 13) Rast-Avesta, 14) Padiyav-Sajashneh, 15) Khubeh-Nirang reaches the “Atravax” grade of Zoroastrian Priesthood. He now becomes a Dharma guru capable of protecting holy fire and is called as “Atash Pasbaan”. He thus alchemizes his own fire within his physical body and maintains all earthly fires. He is able to provide connecting link between the immortal world of “Hasti” with mortal world known as “Nisti” and whose final result is nothing less than Salvation for the Soul or “Ravaan Bhokhtagi”
An Athornan having developed last sixteenth quality of Athravan namely 16) Nehwar-Jiwam reaches the “Zaota” grade of Zoroastrian Preisthood. He thus becomes protector of our religion and is known as “Deen Pasbaan” In the past, the Anjuman of ordinary Athornan belonging to second grade who lead a family life in Iran and belonging to “Zaota” class of Preisthood were solely eligible for the post of “Dastur” and that too after he reaches age of 52 years. If he is underage he has to wait till he reaches age of 52 years and definitely not before that. Today the Parsees of India can be termed as those belonging to “Mashya” grade “Baste- Kustian”, and if they remain faithful to practicing all prescribed Tarikats, and maintain high moral code and above all following rules of Bareshnoom Nahan then he can cultivate some/ any of the above mentioned 16 qualities of an Athravan. But without Bareshnoom expecting any favourable results is likened to tilling and watering the earth but forgetting to sow any seeds and expecting bumper harvest in return, which does not make any sense to it.
From the above we can see that Ashwan Athravan remain hidden in Demavand Koh and takes care of our religious institutions at all time and thus are known as Deen Pasban. They untiringly fight against Druj by remaining engrossed in Avesta prayers and thus keep Druj in check within its limits, and never allow Ahriman to remain unchecked. Thus in “Afrin e Haft Ameshaspand” 8th para says “Hamazor Raevand Koh, Hamazor Mehparsin Koh, Hamazor Daemavand koh ke Dravand Bivrasp andar oy bast Aaested” which means that various mountains like Raevand koh, Mehparsin koh and particularly Daemavand mountain where Darvand of ten thousand horses are bonded here. …………..…..

Even in Shahnamah we come across narration of how King Zohak remains chained in Demavand and keeps on sucking his chains whole night in which he is bounded and makes it thin. He is thus ready to escape before crack of dawn. But the auspicious crowing of Cock which is symbol of Sarosh Yazad prevents him from imminent escape and his chains becomes strong once again and Zohak cannot escape. Zohak means Azi Dohak or personification of ten shortcomings which makes him totally evil. Numerically number ten denotes complete or being whole. So ten denotes evil in its totality at its peak. The Srosah-Varez saheb in Demavand Koh who is personification of Sarosh Yazad himself keeps evil in check by constantly meditating and keeping druj in limits with Avesta prayers and Mithra.
Shahnamah a mere Myth ?
So are we to brush off Shahnamah as mere Myth ?????? . Let us know definition of Myth as is given below by late Dr. Saheb Faramroze Chiniwala in his own words:- “But what is Myth ???? A Myth is that which is difficult to understand, being extraordinary not apropos to present age still having existence in the distant remote past. Human understanding is far too limited to measure nature and her working. Hence it is that one has to live upon faith. This faith will lead one, one day to the actual “Kherad” sense to measure Nature.” ………………….Reference :- A Sequel to Essentials of Zoroastrianism by Dr. Faramroze Chiniwala Page 42
