About the Book:-This literature was contained in twenty-one Nasks or treatises named either from the nature of their contents or from their initial words and each having one of the twenty one words of the Ahunavair attached to it as a kind of artificial reminder of their proper order and number while enumerating them. Very brief statements of the contents of each Nask have also been accessible in manuscripts of the Persian rivayats such as those translated in pp. 419-438 of this volume. And the existence of a much longer account of the Nasks in the Dinkard was ascertained by Haug who Published some extracts from it in 1870, when describing several of the Nasks in the Index to the Pahlavi Pazand Glossary.
