[en] The Yasna Haptahâiti is a very archaic liturgical text composed in prosa. Recent studies showed that no good reason allows to doubt the authenticity of its organic unicity. Analysing its structure and its historic arrangements stresses the importance of the formula uba- ahu- "both existences". This formula designates the theme of the sacrifice, its ultimate aim: unifying physical and mental lives in a total one by reproducing on the sacrificial ground the cosmogonic act achieved by Ahura Mazdâ.
