Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.

With these entreaties, O Ahura Mazda, may we not anger you, nor Truth or Best Thought, we who are standing at the offering of praises to you. You are the swiftest bringer of invigorations, and you hold power over benefits.
