The s ('s) are a collection of twenty-one hymns in Younger Avestan. Each of these hymns invokes a specific Zoroastrian divinity or concept. ''Yasht'' chapter and verse pointers are traditionally abbreviated as ''Yt.'' The word ''yasht'' derives from Avestan ''yešti'', "for venerate" (see Christian Bartholomae`s Altiranisches wörterbuch, section 1298), and several hymns of the ''Yasna'' liturgy that "venerate by praise" are—in tradition—also nominally called ''yasht''s. These "hidden" Yashts are: the ''Barsom Yasht'' (''Yasna'' 2), another ''Hom Yasht'' in ''Yasna'' 9-11, the ''Bhagan Yasht'' of ''Yasna'' 19-21, a hymn to Ashi in ''Yasna'' 52, another Sarosh ''Yasht'' in ''Yasna'' 57, the praise of the (hypostasis of) "prayer" in ''Yasna'' 58, and a hymn to the Ahurani in ''Yasna'' 68. Since these are a part of the primary litury, they do not count among the twenty-one hymns of the ''Yasht'' collection. All the hymns of the ''Yasht'' collection "are written in what appears to be prose, but which, for a large part, may originally have been a (basically) eight-syllable verse, oscillating between four and thirteen syllables, and most often between seven and nine."〔.〕 Most of the ''yazata''s that the individual ''Yasht''s are in praise of also have a dedication in the Zoroastrian calendar. The exceptions are Drvaspa and Vanant. The twenty-one ''yasht''s of the collection (notes follow): Notes: ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yasht」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
