         If any of my sins remain unatoned, and if I am not yet absolved from them, then I am contented and in agreement with  the punishment of the first three nights after my death for committing them..
      On the dawn of the fourth day the soul goes towards the Chinvat Bridge, where Meher Yazata, Sarosh Yazata, and Rashna yazata, the most just, assign to him the proper place (heaven purgatory or hell) after weighing all the deeds done in this world.

**the yazishn in honour of Sarosh for three days. According to the religion of Zarathushtra, for three days after the death of a person, the soul hovers about the same place where the body was laid after necessary ceremonies and on the fourth day after birth it goes towards the Chinvat Bridge. For these three days   the soul remains in the protection of Holy Sarosh Yazat. It is enjoyed : therefore, to consecrate the yasna with the Khshnuman of Sarosh for the dead person. For these three days the soul remembers all good and wicked deeds performed during his lifetime, and thinks of the place he will get in the next world. To the soul of the righteous man immense joy arises in the hope of gaining the reward of his goodness during that period and the soul of the wicked gets frightened with fear for being punished for his wicked actions. On the dawn of the fourth day the soul goes towards the Chinvat Bridge, where Meher Yazata, Sarosh Yazata, and Rashna yazata, the most just, assign to him the proper place (heaven purgatory or hell) after weighing all the deeds done in this world.

**Getikharid:  The original meaning of the word getikharid is to purchase this world.  i.e. to acquire meritorious deeds from this world, so that after death the soul may get happiness and comfort. But generally to have performed this act of getikharid means to consecrate this yasna in honour of the soul of the dead for nine days. Like the Zindeh-ravan ceremony this ceremony can also be performed for living persons. We find such a writing in the late books of the Zoroastrian religion.
