Khordeh Avesta
Khordeh Avesta (, meaning: 'little, or lesser, or small Avesta') is the name given to two different collections of Zoroastrian religious texts. One of the two collections includes the other and takes its name from it.
* in a narrowest sense, the term applies to the five ''Nyayesh'' texts, the five ''Gah'' texts, and four ''Afrinagan''s. Kellens' categorization adds five extracts from the ''Yasna''.〔.〕 More generally, the term may also be applied to Avestan language texts other than the lengthy liturgical ''Yasna'', ''Visparad'' and ''Vendidad''. The term then also extends to the twenty-one ''Yasht''s, and the thirty ''Siroza'' texts, but does not usually encompass the various Avestan language fragments found in other works.
* in the 19th century, when the first ''Khordeh Avesta'' editions were printed, the selection of Avesta texts described above (together with some non-Avestan language prayers) became a book of common prayer for lay people.〔.〕 In addition to the texts mentioned above, the published ''Khordeh Avesta'' editions also included selections from the ''Yasna'' necessary for daily worship, such as the ''Ahuna Vairya'' and ''Ashem Vohu''. The selection of texts is not fixed, and so publishers are free to include any text they choose. Several ''Khordeh Avesta'' editions are quite comprehensive, and include Pazend prayers, modern devotional compositions such as the poetical or semi-poetical Gujarati ''monagat''s, or glossaries and other reference lists such as dates of religious events.
