|description=Lit., “the Law”. From the old Persian ''Âbastâ, ''“the law”. The sacred Scriptures of the Zoroastrians. ''Zend ''means in the “Zend‐Avesta”—a “commentary” or “interpretation”. It is an error to regard “ Zend” as a language, as “it was applied only to explanatory texts, to the translations of the Avesta”(Darmsteter) {{etg-source|TG}}.
