“Aat tat dunman ham-hishtenti us Hindvat paiti 
garoit.’’ 
Translation—Then vapour arises from the mount Hindu. 
Tistrya is the Yazata or angel presiding over rain. So, 
in the Yasht which treats of an account of this Yazata, the 
watery vapour which forms rain, is referred to as arising from 
Mount Hindu, which is identified with the Hindukush.
